By now everyone has had the opportunity to break out the golf clubs, the boat, the motorcycle or even the lawn mower. Spring has definitely sprung. It is a beautiful time of the year out here in western South Dakota on the prairie with the miles upon miles of rolling hills and green grass. It is also the time of year that some of our members head to Washington D.C. to participate in the Call on Washington. Unfortunately, this year I was not able to attend as I have been dealing with some family issues. My mother had back surgery and cannot lift over five pounds for two months, so being the closest child to their home, I have been busy helping with their daily activities. But I want to touch base on how important this trip to Washington really is. This is the one time each year that our state association has the opportunity to meet with the ATA staff. They usually brief us on the current status of the issues at hand and also advise us on the best way to approach and educate our congressional delegates so we can then encourage them to vote in our favor on federal trucking issues. The meetings have been very fruitful in recent years. But I would like to remind everyone that out of the 534 members of Congress, South Dakota has only three. So when it comes time to vote on important trucking issues, our state has only .0056 percent of the total vote. With that said, I would like to reiterate on some statistics I have talked about in the past and why I believe it is so important to become involved with more than just the Call on Washington to try and change things on Capitol Hill. The ATA is the largest trucking association in America. They have more than 2,400 members and more than 400 people on the staff. Large carriers, more than 20 trucks, make up 85 percent of the membership. Ironically, small carriers, less than 20 trucks make up 85 percent of the total trucks across the nation. It is very obvious that in many cases small carriers and large carriers do not always agree on the issues and potential laws and regulations that are created by the FMCSA and other government agencies. So here is how this normally works. The ATA meets twice a year, once for the Spring Leadership Meeting and again in the Fall for the Annual MC&E Convention. The ATA is comprised of several committees and sub-committees, filled with members of the ATA, which cover all aspects of the trucking industry. Issues are discussed, comments are made, then they vote and a decision is made. The committee then reports its decision to the full board, which is made up of one ATA Vice President from each state and the full board votes. Usually by this time, there is very little discussion or comments as all the work has been done in the committee meetings. Now the ATA staff is directed by the association to go back to the Hill and lobby for the issues and decisions that the association has made to all the members of Congress. The ATA has some power on the Hill because through their PAC contributions from members as they raise more than a million dollars a year. Remember what I have said before, he who has the most money wins. That my friends is how things happen in our world. So take ELD’s for example. I think the majority of small carriers are opposed to them. The majority of large carriers pushed to make ELD’s a federal rule. That’s why it is here and here to stay. Imagine if the ATA membership was 85 percent small carriers and 15 percent large carriers how different the outcomes of these major issues might be. I am a small carrier and I am not saying I am against large carriers. What I am saying is if we are going to move our industry in a direction that is fair for both large carriers and for small carriers, we need to know how politics work. I understand that we as small carriers are very busy. We do everything from the dispatching, to the maintenance, to the safety, to the bookkeeping and even to driving the truck with little time to take off to go to these meetings and get involved. But keep in mind folks, this is how it works and complaining about all the issues we disagree with will not change them simply because we are complaining. The ATA is not our enemy as a small carrier. We have the same power and rights as anyone else in this industry, but we need to increase our numbers. We need to engage and get involved. I hope this message gives everyone some important insight to how our industry works politically. I look forward to seeing you all in Chamberlain next month for our Summer Board Meeting. Until then remember, (It’s just another day in paradise”). God Bless and take care. MAY 2016 TRUCKING NEWS ~ Page 3 2016 PARTS SPECIALS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE OFFERS FROM BUTLER!

Page 4 ~ MAY 2016 TRUCKING NEWS Myron Rau President’s Message President [email protected] Regulatory issues are never lacking when you think about the trucking industry. This again became rather obvious when your Immediate Past Chairman, Mr. Rick Hoogendoorn and I recently attended the American Trucking Associations (ATA) Leadership Meeting. The list of challenges seems to be growing rather than shrinking. Rick and I did not attend the same committee meetings in order to avoid duplication and also to better represent the interests of the SDTA Members. In the remainder of this column, I will highlight a few of the issues that are currently on the horizon. Hours of Service: It appears there is a positive flavor in Congress to fix the technical glitch created by a stipulation in the 2016 Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act which was not the intent of Congress. If we do not prevail with this technical change, it will put the entire trucking industry and the entire country on tilt! Law enforcement, shippers, receivers and trucking companies will need to completely retool if we do not get this fixed. Entry Level Driver Training Proposal: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has proposed that all drivers seeking a Commercial Driver License (CDL) take a comprehensive training course designed to improve safety and awareness. The training should consist of both classroom and behind the wheel training. Following classroom instruction, students would begin behind the wheel training. To successfully complete this portion, drivers must spend at least 30 hours behind the wheel. this time would be spent between time on the range and on the road. My take on this issue is quite simple; we can’t find drivers now, making obtaining a CDL more difficult will certainly not help our industry. New Technology: During technology discussions, the committee talked about speed limiters, electronic logging devices (ELDs), rear and side guards, forward collision & mitigation braking systems and connected vehicles. Although I consider myself a techie and both interested and intrigued with new technology, it seems to me that some of this technology is very futuristic and it will take many years if not decades to implement. We will need to stay vigilant and watch as these issues unfold. The main item in this list is speed limiters and what I heard is the final number has not yet been agreed on. The majority of the calls I get from SDTA Members are with regard to hours of service, ELDs and speed limiters. I hope this information will help answer some of those questions - if not, please keep calling. Please take the time to review the “Dates to Remember” on page 20; we have a busy schedule for the next month. I hope many of you get a chance to participate in one or more of these events. "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." Will Rogers Please get involved and stay involved! Myron L. Rau, President MAY 2016 TRUCKING NEWS ~ Page 5 Page 6 ~ MAY 2016 TRUCKING NEWS From the desk of Robert Christian Every spring breakup I ask myself the same question, What am I going to do with all this time off?” Then I get started and question if everything will be done before it is time to return to work. I am certain most of you find yourselves in the same scenario. This year the list seems to be long or I am just getting older and it takes me longer to get everything done: the Log haulers seminar, the 2015 survey, regular maintenance, preventive maintenance, updating, of course the “honey do” projects that have been put on hold for the last year and preparing for the Call on Washington. I just cross them off one by one as they come or as I get them done. Everyone has said they enjoyed the seminar, which is good. After all, it is put together for your benefit. We already have suggestions for next year, so if you have additional ideas let them be known. The 2015 survey results are in and it sounds like we had an excellent return. All of the information will be evaluated and the results will be available soon. It is likely that we will find ourselves outside of the 100 mile air radius in order to acquire enough log inventory to keep the mill yards full. With the Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) becoming mandatory by December of 2017, I have started to do some research. The advice you get from nearly everyone is not to wait until the last minute. I am certainly finding that to be true. I hope to have a system installed within the next year or maybe sooner. Especially if I find myself having to keep a log book rather than a time card. I strongly suggest if you think you could run into that same situation, start researching your ELD needs. Be mindful of the system you select, as FMCSA does NOT regulate the manufacturers to assure they are fulfilling FMCSA’s requirements. The Call on Washington, which is probably where we are as you read this, has plenty of issues to deal with. Some of the topics we plan to address are Federal Excise Tax, FMCSA issues, CSA issues, sleep apnea, hours of service, 33 foot double trailers, central states pension, states collecting business tax from interstate carriers, F4A issue (truckers working in interstate commerce under one set of rules rather than individual state laws and regulations) and the 2016 presidential election. There always seems to be plenty of issues here to deal with. New ones always seem to arise and the old issues seem to be forever changing. This is the first year that the SDTA West River Golf Event will be incorporated with the logging industry. Our SDTA staff and Phillip Christian have put a lot of effort into this. We have the potential to turn this golf outing into a grand annual event. We all need to promote this outing amoungst fellow loggers — the only way most of us in the logging industry will know of this is word of mouth. The golf event takes place Sunday, June 26th at 9:00 at the Tomahawk Golf Course, in Deadwood. If you have any questions I am certain Phillip will answer them or you can call the SDTA office. SEE YOU THERE! Myron spoke at the Neiman logging contractors meeting this year and it sounds like it went very well. This gives everyone a better understanding of the challenges and limitations we all face in the industry. This type of effort with all entities of the industry will insure the success and well-being of all involved. To end on a sad note this month I would like to recognize an old friend and colleague Donald Butterfield, or as most all of us know him, Butter, was killed in a trucking accident in Colorado on April 14th. He was one of the original founders of the BHLH Association. For many years he hauled logs and had a lot to offer to the industry. Although Butter will be deeply missed, he will surely not be forgotten.

Page 20 ~ MAY 2016 TRUCKING NEWS IMPROVING THE HUMAN CONDITION DOT EXAM CHANGES: What It Means For You In order to keep your job, the DOT exam is part of the requirements. Last month, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) made changes to the exam form that must now be followed by medical examiners (ME), such as myself and the rest of the team at Sanford OccMed. Here’s what you need to know before your next DOT exam: • The ME must give you (if you qualify) a paper copy of the new Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC) form to provide to your employer and government enforcement officials. • A new status has been added to the exam: Determination pending. - This status allows the ME up to 45 days to get more medical information to determine if a driver is physically qualified to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). - If you have this status, you can still drive a CMV if your MEC is valid. - If the requested information and/or examination results are not completed and provided to the ME within 45 days, your exam is no longer valid. You would need to schedule a new examination in order to obtain the new MEC form. • The ME or staff must record what type of government-issued photo ID you used to verify your identity (e.g. CDL, driver’s license, passport). • You are required to have a new examination when your MEC expires, regardless of the length of the MEC. The team at Sanford OccMed is always up to date on any changes or adjustments to ensure we adhere to current guidelines.

The meeting is part of the agency’s appeal for public comment on this issue. The public meeting will be held on May 20 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT at the Department of Transportation, Media Center, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Ground Floor, Washington, DC, 20590. funds consist solely of cash or other highly liquid financial instruments? What types of instruments constitute “highly liquid?” Aside from cash, what else can satisfy the mandate that trust funds consist of “readily available assets?” Should the Agency define the classes of investments held in trust relative to risk profile of the issuer and identify the relative liquidity of such assets or should it rely on other sources for such information? The agency said it is seeking information from motor carriers and shippers on “challenges” they’ve experienced in being compensated for claims against freight forwarders and brokers due to insufficient funds. • Aside from FMCSA, are BMC-85 trust fund filers being regulated by any other governmental entity? If so, what is the nature of their regulation by state or other authorities? FMCSA stated that the meeting will not delve into increasing motor carrier, broker, or freight forwarder minimum financial responsibility limits. • What actions can FMCSA take to ensure that motor carriers and shippers are able to collect on BMC-85 trust funds where legitimate claims are filed with the financial institution? The agency said it welcomes comments or questions before and during the roundtable discussion. The roundtable will center on the following questions: • Which, if any, BMC-85 Trust Fund holders routinely deny claims made by shippers and motor carriers against those trust funds? • What is the nature of the assets that are being held in BMC-85 trust funds and what is the most desirable composition of the assets? For example, should trust Page 24 ~ MAY 2016 TRUCKING NEWS • Should the Agency act to address potential issues associated with the solvency of BMC-85 trust funds? If so, what type of action would be most appropriate? What type of FMCSA action pertaining to 49 U.S.C. 13906(b)(6) and (c)(7) (payment in cases of financial failure or insolvency) is necessary? Would agency guidance, as opposed to rulemaking, be sufficient? • Should FMCSA require brokers and freight forwarders to demonstrate the creditworthiness of the entity with whom brokers or freight forwarders intend to execute a trust fund, based on a determination of creditworthiness by the applicable state regulatory authority or the Department of Treasury Financial Management Service? FMCSA noted it will use comments received ahead of the roundtable to further frame the issues.

URS replaces multiple forms and the registration functions of several systems -such as the Licensing and Insurance System (L&I) and Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS)- that businesses use to register and update their information with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). WHY: URS helps raise the safety bar while improving efficiency through: • Simplified processes and elimination of multiple forms. • Reduced paperwork and errors. • Electronic screening of all applications to identify high-risk carriers, including potential reincarnated carriers. WHO: The URS rule applies to all interstate motor carriers (including private and for-hire passenger and property motor carriers), freight forwarders, brokers, intermodal equipment providers (IEPs), hazardous materials safety permit (HMSP) applicants/holders, and cargo tank manufacturing and repair facilities under FMCSA's jurisdiction. Mexican-domiciled carriers conducting long-haul operations are exempt. WHEN: URS is being implemented through December 2016. See the URS Rollout at a Glance chart for details. Key dates include: WHAT’S CHANGING FOR YOU? • When fully implemented, everyone subject to the URS rule will use the online application to register and update their information with FMCSA. • All businesses subject to the rule must have a FMCSA portal account before September 30, 2016. Visit http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/urs. The portal provides instructions and support for obtaining an account. • The USDOT number will become the sole identifier. MC, FF, MX and other FMCSA-assigned numbers will no longer be issued, and FMCSA will no longer accept them as references for filings or other matters. FMCSA will issue numbers to registered businesses without a USDOT number (e.g., small motor carriers, freight forwarders, and brokers) before September 30, 2016. • New and existing hazardous materials motor carriers and exempt for-hire carriers must provide financial responsibility (insurance) filings beginning September 30, 2016 (there is a grace period for existing hazardous materials motor carriers and exempt-for-hire carriers, with enforcement deferred until December 31, 2016). • Beginning September 30, 2016, all new applicants must select a process agent to file the Form BOC-3 on their behalf before their registration will be granted. A process agent ensures the FMCSA and injured parties can serve legal papers to motor carriers, brokers, or freight forwarders in any state where the registered entities operate. The BOC-3 form must include all states for which process agent designations are required. FMCSA will deactivate USDOT numbers for companies that fail to designate a process agent (there is a grace period for currently registered businesses, with enforcement deferred until December 31, 2016). • A new fee schedule will be implemented on September 30, 2016.

The number of crashes involving large trucks had fallen 39% since 2004 and, while there is much more to do, that is a figure our professional drivers, our safety directors, our technicians and our safety partners in federal and state law enforcement can be proud of.” There were a number of important findings in today’s release of FMCSA’s Large Truck and Bus Crash Facts 2014, including: • The injury crash rate for large trucks (0.29 per 100 million miles) continues to be roughly half the rate for passenger vehicles (0.58 per 100 million miles); • The number of large trucks involved in fatal crashes fell 5% to 3,744 from 2013 to 2014, and is down 23.6% since 2004; • The number of miles traveled by large trucks rose by 1.5% in 2014, which coupled with the decline in truck-involved crashes, dropped the truck-involved fatality rate to 1.40 per 100 million miles, a 2.9% decline from 2013 and a 40.1% decline since 2004. • Speed, an issue where ATA has urged action at both the state and federal level for more than a decade, continues to be the number one driver-related factor in fatal crashes. “For 10 years, ATA has advocated for return to a national maximum speed limit of 65 miles per hour, and for mandatory use of electronic devices to limit the top speed of large trucks,” said ATA Executive Vice President of National Advocacy Dave Osiecki. “Today’s FMCSA report, coupled with recent research by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety linking rising speed limits to increased highway fatalities, underscores the need for DOT to quickly advance a rule limiting top truck speeds, and for states to re-think the setting of higher and higher speed limits.” “Today’s announcement of a decline in truck related fatalities and crashes is significant,” said ATA Chairman Pat Thomas, senior vice president of state government affairs for UPS Inc. “It shows the continuation of the positive long-term trend, a trend made possible, in part, by our industry’s continued investment in safety tools and technologies.” American Trucking Associations is the largest national trade association for the trucking industry. Through a federation of 50 affiliated state trucking associations and industry-related conferences and councils, ATA is the voice of the industry America depends on most to move our nation’s freight.
