Illinois’ Top Job Prospect
It's quiz time! Name me the number one job area that
Illinois employers are trying to fill. I bet you already
know the answer.
Last month, Mid-West Truckers Association participated
in a transportation workforce planning conference
with the Illinois Department of Transportation and
the Illinois Manufacturers' Association. MTA first
met with IMA almost two years ago as it began work
to fulfill workforce needs of Illinois employers. It
took no time at all to document the need for qualified
employees in the transportation and logistics fields,
especially truck operators.
We all know of the difficulty in hiring and keeping good
employees. Look at the local paper want ads or go to
any job web site and the largest percentage of ads are
in the trucking and logistics fields.
Proud Supporter of

So how do we get them, and how do we keep them?
That's the big question. In many cases, it may be a
matter of getting them right out of high school and
getting them trained to drive (at least intrastate). The
industry loses out on so many potential drivers because
of the interstate driver requirement that they be 21.
By then, many have chosen a different profession.
We also need to make it easier for military veterans to
get a job in the industry. Experience has shown that
many ex-military may be good drivers because they
know how to follow orders, are disciplined in their
responsibilities and often can handle the burdens of
being away from home if the job requires it. Many
companies work closely with their community college
truck driver training program to identify potential hires.

Everyone agrees there's a demand for good drivers.
Many companies are ready to pay for good drivers or
the alternative is to have a truck sit in the lot. It seems
the laws of supply and demand are at work.

Within 30 miles of their company home location they have four
different labor union halls they have to draw employees from.
This creates a constant challenge to be continuously providing
on-the-job training to employees. With their business primarily
being secondary contractors on gas station new construction,
earth work and petroleum excavation, they are constantly rotating
employees from different union locals depending on the jobsite
location. This suits Bruce and Brian as they have 61 years of
pride in the work that their company provides to customers. “We
are the type of company that the boss works on the jobsite,” says
Bruce. “We keep a tight grip on the reins to make sure the job
is done right.”
COVER STORY
Trucker of the Month
Mid-West Truckers Association’s July Trucker of the Month is
Fatlan Trucking and Excavating, Ltd., of Gardner, Illinois.
Fatlan Trucking started in 1953 when Leo Fatlan returned from
the service, joined up with his brother Earl “Shorty,” and started
a trucking operation. Their primary business for the next 40 years
was hauling coal and sand all over Illinois. They hauled most of
the coal for Caterpillar plants in Illinois, and trucked sand from
their own sand pit to asphalt plants in the area. Over the years
they dug three sand pits on their property and leased property
for two additional sand pits.
Shorty and Leo had their heydays in the 60‘s and 70’s when they
were running over 20 trucks from their Gardner home base. They
were known for running black and yellow Hendrickson trucks
everyone nicknamed ‘bumble bee trucks’. They had Hendrickson
trucks running in their fleet until 2000, when they finally switched
out to blue Mack CH613 tractors.
The future of Fatlan Trucking and Excavation, Ltd. will be
securely in the hands of the Fatlan family for years to come.
Bruce and his wife Beth have three boys and a girl; twins
Benjamin and Baily, Brody, and their sister Britney. Brian and
his wife Jill have two boys, Dylan and Devon.
In 1993, Shorty’s son, Bruce took over the company. By that time
the coal hauling had dried up and the sand market was dwindling
due to asphalt mixes not using as much sand. With the pile of
excavating equipment they had amassed from the sand pits, the
company from time to time would pick up excavating side jobs.
Soon excavation grew as the primary side of the business, with
the trucks providing support. Currently, Fatlan does little to no
for-hire hauling, using their trucks to support the excavation work.
As 49-year members, Fatlan Trucking and Excavation has
utilized many of the services and programs provided by MidWest Truckers Association, including drug and alcohol testing,
and are supporters of TRK-PAC. They are kept up-to-date on
regulations and compliance issues with the monthly magazine
and e-mail blasts.
The Board of Directors of Mid-West Truckers Association
expresses their appreciation to Fatlan Trucking and Excavating,
Ltd. for their 49 years of membership and salute Bruce and Brian
Fatlan as our July Truckers of the Month.
Today the company is ran by Bruce Fatlan’s sons, Bruce Jr.
and Brian. They bought out their father in 2011 as a natural
progression from working in the family business, just as their
father did 20 years earlier. Operators out of Local 150, the
brothers work fulltime in the business and have a number of
seasonal employees from various local union halls.

SB 3402 Truck Dealer Plate - This legislation allows
the use of a dealer plate on commercial vehicles for the
purposes of repair, maintenance and warranty work if
the vehicle crosses state lines.
Legislative &
Regulatory
Update
SB 3139 Emergency Propane Truck Weight Waiver
Following a winter of several emergency declarations,
this legislation grants increased gross and axle
weight variances for propane haulers under special
circumstances and a declaration of emergency by the
governor.
Truck-Related Bills Await
Governor’s Action
When lawmakers left Springfield at the end of May they
had acted on hundreds of bills, many of which affect
truck operators. Once a bill has passed both the House
and Senate, it is sent to the Governor, who has 60 days
to act. He can approve the bill as is, or use his line-item,
amendatory or outright veto powers and send the bill
back to lawmakers to accept or reject his changes.
Thanks to the many MTA members who contacted
their legislators on bills of interest to truck operators!
As this issue went to press, the Governor has signed
into law on just one bill - SB 3411 - Ticket Quotas Passed by near unanimous votes, this bill will outlaw the
requirement that law enforcement officers be required
to issue a certain amount of tickets each month. Many
in the law enforcement community were opposed to
the bill because they felt that ticket quotas serve as a
performance indicator of a certain officer, while other
law enforcement officials think that no matter what, local
police would always be expected to produce so much
ticket and fine revenue for their department as a means of
financial survival. This law is effective January 1, 2015.
The following bills were approved by the General
Assembly but have yet to be acted on by the Governor.
SB 3398 - Covered Farm Vehicles - Sponsored by
Senator Toi Hutchinson. In a process similar to receiving
an ‘SHV’ designation, farmers will apply with the
Secretary of State for a ‘CFV’ exemption on trucks under
12,000 lbs GVWR that are used in farm operations and
qualify for the agricultural exemption from the state and
federal motor carrier safety regulations. The designation
will include a $10 annual fee and will be in addition to
the regular vehicle registration fee. SB 2583 License as Bond This bill stops the practice
of law enforcement authorities from holding a driver’s
license as bond for a simple traffic stop. In the age of
required ID’s for security reasons, the need to have a
government ID pushed the issue.
SB 2015 70 MPH Speed Limit on Tollway Allows
70 MPH speed limit on those roads under control of the
Illinois Toll Highway Authority.

Federal Judge
Issues TRO Against
Elwood Truck Restrictions
Roadcheck 2014 Results
A federal judge has thrown out the Village of Elwood’s
attempt to block truck traffic from using a local street to
enter the Centerpoint Intermodal Center. The temporary
restraining order granted June 13 required Elwood to
dismantle concrete barriers erected to prevent trucks from
using Illinois Route 53 and Walter Strawn Drive to access
the Union Pacific intermodal facility.
Roadcheck 2014 took place June 3-5 at hundreds of
locations around North America. Illinois Roadcheck
was part of the 26th annual International Roadcheck
2014, which inspected over 60,000 vehicles during
the 72-hour period in the United States, Canada and
Mexico. Roadcheck is coordinated by the Commercial
Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA).
Elwood had erected the barriers the week before after
approving an ordinance effectively banning trucks from use
of Village streets. Elwood contended that some 8,000 trucks
a day were using a railroad crossing that was not designed
to handle the load and that trucks had broken the gates more
than 50 times. On the other hand, truck operators had long
complained that the track crossing, adjacent to Route 53 was
not signaled properly. The Illinois Commerce Commission
has been reviewing the crossing and scheduled a hearing to
review safety options.
Here are some statistics supplied by the Illinois State
Police of the Illinois activities during the annual safety
effort:
• 1,934 inspections of suspect vehicles completed
• 412 vehicles placed out-of-service
• 106 drivers placed out-of-service
The out-of-service rate for vehicles and drivers was
24.8%, which was up from last year; the out-of-service
rate for drivers was 5.5%, which was up from last year’s
rate of 4.78%
During the street closures, traffic was being forced to enter
the intermodal facility from I-55 and Arsenal Road, which
was already heavily congested because traffic has been
reduced to one lane for repair work on the Des Plaines River
bridge. As a result multi-mile traffic back-ups have gotten
even worse with the addition of the diverted truck traffic.
Some truck operators, especially those back-hauling grain
in intermodal containers from facilities along Route 53 to
the east of Elwood have been stuck with 16-mile detours.
Brake-related defects accounted for the majority of
the vehicle out-of-service violations, while logbook
violations accounted for the majority of driver out-ofservice violations.
In all, 3,517 violations were recorded in Illinois. Not
every truck on the highway is stopped for inspection.
The Illinois State Police were assisted by the Illinois
Department of Transportation, Illinois Commerce
Commission and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration.
The lawsuit claims Elwood’s action causes irrepairable
harm to the intermodal facility and its suppliers and violates
federal law protecting interstate commerce. The temporary
restraining order precludes a full hearing on the lawsuit
which is expected in a few weeks.
On the positive side, 565 CVSA decals were issued
to trucks and 136 stickers to trailers that successfully
passed a Level I inspection.

aware that the IDES does NOT tell the user of the IDES
Worker Relationship Questionnaire that the first set of
questions is based on Section 212(B)! No, the befuddled
user being audited often does not realize where the questions are springing from.
Nancy E. Joerg
Senior Attorney
Wessels Sherman Joerg
Liszka Laverty Seneczko P.C.
St. Charles, Illinois
The second set of questions in the IDES Worker Relationship Questionnaire is based on Section 212(A) of the
Illinois Unemployment Insurance Act. Again, this is not
revealed anywhere on the Questionnaire. The user who
is filling out the many difficult questions is left to wonder
about the origin and intention of the questions facing them.
What Employers Going Through an
IDES Audit Need To Understand
About the IDES Worker
Relationship Questionnaire
The third set of questions is based on Section 212(C)
of the Act. But the Questionnaire itself never reveals this
fact in any direct way.
Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES)
auditors almost always ask the Company they are auditing to fill out the six-page document called the “Worker
Relationship Questionnaire.” The “Worker Relationship
Questionnaire” is modeled largely after the IRS “SS-8”
Questionnaire. These Questionnaires are specially designed to help the auditor determine if a “class” of workers
are Independent Contractors or Employees.
Understanding that the entire Questionnaire is exploring
Section 212 (A), (B) and (C) of the Illinois Unemployment
Insurance Act is very helpful to the person filling out the
document. The questions are devilishly tricky. The terminology is confusing, vague, and misleading.
Much thought and care should go into filling out this
Questionnaire (or any IDES Questionnaire such as the
Illinois employers facing the intimidating job of filling out
the six pages of questions (at the command of the IDES
auditor) will be helped by appreciating the structure of this
lengthy Questionnaire.
Continued on Pagee 23
NOW OPEN
The first thing to understand is that a single company
being audited by the IDES may be asked to fill out
many Questionnaires—if the company uses many types
of Independent Contractors. Note: For owner-operators
who own a truck, there is a special IDES Questionnaire
under Section 212.1 of the Illinois Unemployment Insurance Act.

I once represented an architectural-engineering firm that
had many different specialist architects and engineers as
Independent Contractors. The firm was audited by the
IDES. We had to fill out twelve different IDES Worker
Relationship Questionnaires in order to prove to the IDES
Auditor that these twelve classes (or types) of Independent
Contractors were not really Employees of my client’s
company.

July
Drug & Alcohol
Testing Update
In addition, we are preparing a similar Attachment for those
members who are participating in the Drug-Free Workplace
Testing Consortium. After legal review we will also have
it available.
Frequently Asked Drug & Alcohol
Testing Questions
Random tests that were not done. We have had a rash of
random tests that were not done in the months they were
selected and not canceled as required by federal regulations.
Please realize it is the employer’s responsibility to get the
random tests done unless there is a valid reason for it not
getting done. Valid reasons are the driver was: laid off,
on medical leave, on active military duty, an illness, on
workmen’s compensation leave, or on vacation the entire
month. You still must call or email us as to why the test(s)
cannot be completed so we can cancel the random test(s).
Reasons such as forgetting or didn’t have time are not
valid reasons.
1) Why have I been random tested 2 months in a
row? Drivers who have been random tested once do not
get put on the back burner. The drivers are eligible for
random testing every time there is a random selection.
The Consortium conducts monthly random selections.
2) I am covered in the other company’s random
program. Do I need to have my own program, too?
Actually, you do need to have a program under your
company also. Each employer is responsible for following
the drug and alcohol testing regulations for their company.
If you send the Attachment B to the other employer, and
the employer completes it (in its entirety), you would not,
however, have to undergo a pre-employment drug test.
Whizzinators are still around! A DeKalb man was
trying to use a Whizzinator to provide a urine specimen
to a probation officer. The man was pulling and tugging
Continued on Page 25
3) When I pay the annual random slot fee do I need to
pay for each random test too? You don’t! The random
slot fee per driver pays for all random testing costs for the
calendar year. If you use a clinic and you get an invoice
for a random test, send the invoice to us. Don’t pay it.
4) If the driver isn’t driving when the collector arrives
to conduct a random drug and alcohol test, should
the alcohol test be conducted? Absolutely NOT! The
alcohol test is only conducted right before, during, or
immediately after the driver has performed a safetysensitive function (SSF). If the driver does not do any
SSF during the random selection period, call us to cancel
the alcohol test only. The drug test still needs to get done.
Illinois Medical Marijuana: In September, the Illinois
Financial and Professional Regulations will review
applications and make final determinations of who will
receive permits for marijuana cultivation centers. There
can only be 21 cultivation centers; one in each State Police
district. Once approved, if the cultivation centers could be
active by the first of next year.
So where does that leave you and your company’s drivers?

What did we do for you last month?
We often get asked, “What do we do at Mid-West Truckers Association? Besides the obvious, such as
answering member calls, processing drug & alcohol testing orders and results and helping members on
licensing and permits, there is a lot of travel time to cover the important meetings that affect the trucking
industry. The following is what and where you could find MTA staff during the past month:
Jennifer Grider exhibited MTA’s drug & alcohol testing services at the Township Officials of Illinois Education
Program in Lisle, Illinois.
Matt Wells represented MTA with a display at open houses for Quincy Mack and Decatur Mack. A great opportunity
to meet up with many MTA members.
Don Schaefer attended the quarterly meeting of the Illinois Infrastructure Council in Chicago where the discussion
highlighted the slow process of developing a new highway bill.
Don Schaefer attended a meeting of state transportation officials, vocational experts and educators to address the
critical need of qualified truck operators. The group made suggestions on how to steer potential drivers into the

generous contributions of MTA members to TRK-PAC, the Association’s political action committee.
Matt Wells and Don Schaefer participated in many meetings of the Transportation for Illinois Coalition (TFIC),
following up on the last minute apoproval of a state bonding program for public works projects. A long-range
funding program was not moved during the Spring Session. TFIC is also closely monitoring the progress of a
new federal highway bill.
Don Schaefer spent several days in Washington, DC, meeting with members of the Illinois congressional delegation
and their staff. He also attended the ITS America Leadership Circle and the congressional technology showcase
as a representative of HELP/PrePass. Don serves as chairman of the Board of Directors for HELP/PrePass.

reauthorization bill.

FMCSA Grants Temporary
Waiver of 30 Minute Break
Requirement for
Livestock Haulers
-IN MEMORIAM-
Joyce Ashby
Common sense apparently prevailed in Washington
when the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA) announced the granting of a limited
one-year exemption from the 30-minute rest break
provision of the Agency’s hours-of-service (HOS)
regulations for commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers transporting livestock.
Joyce Ashby, 63, of Granite City, Ill., passed away on June
8, 2014, at Gateway Regional Medical Center in Granite
City, Ill., with her loving family by her side.
FMCSA was hit with a barrage of complaints from
livestock haulers who said a 30-minute break in
extreme weather conditions would lead to a massive
kill of their loads. The 30-minute break requirement
was included in last year’s revision to the hours-ofservice regulations. FMCSA issued a limited 90-day
waiver last year.
Numerous states also issued
temporary waivers during the past year - this notice
is aimed at making the waiver consistent at all levels
of enforcement.
Joyce was born on May 29, 1951, in Granite City, a
daughter to the late Harlan and Mabel, nee Covington,
Keel. On March 11, 1972, Joyce married Ronnie Ashby,
the love of her life in Granite City. Joyce was a co-owner
of Ashby Moving & Storage in Madison, Ill. She was a
faithful member of Fairview Heights Church of Christ in
Fairview Heights, Ill. Joyce enjoyed water skiing, spending time at Bull Shoals and Norfork Lakes in Arkansas
with her family and traveling with Ronnie to Estes Park
in Colorado. Her greatest joy was spending time with her
family, especially with her four grandchildren, whom she
adored. Joyce will be sadly missed by all who knew and
loved her. In addition to her parents, Joyce was preceded
in death by one sister, Terri Keel.
She is survived by her loving husband, Ronnie Ashby of
Granite City; two dear sons and daughters-in-law, Ryan and
Michelle Ashby of O’Fallon, and Casey and Amy Ashby
of Granite City; a sister, Trudy (Jim) Black of Granite
City; brother, Harlan (Jolene) Keel of Granite City; loving
grandmother to Christine, Mackenna, Reese and Sullivan
Ashby; extended family and many dear friends.
In celebration of her life, a memorial service will be held
at a later date.

What about the driver’s consent to allow the prospective or
current employer to access the Database? Who can report
the violations? What violations would be reported? What
is the timeframe for service agents to report the violations
to the Database? Next month, we will provide you with
some of the commenters’ answers to these questions.
Drug & Alcohol Testing
Update (Continued)
on something that turned out to be a Whizzinator. The
Whizzinator was attached to a small hose connected to a
“clear, plastic bladder” filled with yellow liquid. He was
caught and arrested immediately.
Comments on the CDL Driver National Drug & Alcohol
Database: There were 162 commenters on the National
Drug and Alcohol Database. The proposed regulations
state there will be fees to access the mandatory database.
They mentioned $5 for each prospective hire and $2.50 per
driver on an annual basis. Some commenters said it would
be cost prohibitive for large companies and said it should
be a subscription-based fee instead. Other commenters
didn’t feel like there was a need to access the Database on
an annual basis.
The proposed regulations state the commercial drivers’
license and the state of issuance would be the unique
identifier for the drivers. Commenters stated only the
social security numbers would be unique. CDLs would be
unique until such time the CDL holder changes residency
to another state.
Proposed regulations state the employer’s U.S. Dept. of
Transportation number or employer identification number
(EIN) would need to be on the Custody & Control Form.
It also states the laboratories would be required to file
annual summary reports identifying the motor carriers for
whom they performed testing services. The Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) would use the data
to identify employers that do not have an active drug and
alcohol testing program.
There will be CDL holders that will be exempt from the
Database. The proposed regulations only apply to CDL
holders that are subject to the FMCSA. It won’t apply
to CDL holders subject to the Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration or to the Federal Transit
Administration or any of the other Dept. of Transportation
regulated modes.
Commenters also present the question of how long the
driver’s record of violation should be maintained and
available in the Database. There is a choice of 3 or 5 years
since the date of the violation determination. The Safe
Roads Act of 2012 specifically states 5 years from the time
the record is submitted to the Clearinghouse, however, the
proposed regulation states 3 years.
