FOURTH QUARTER 2022
IN THIS ISSUE
The industry moves to make tractor-trailer connections more efficient, top highlights of the Formulate keynote discussion with TA’s Homer Hogg, and Clean Harbor’s Velez talks about the availability of aftermarket parts. How the industry is making the transition to electrification, Navistar’s S13 engine raises the bar, and the value of recommended practices for maintenance standards.
As more data is being shared between trucks and trailers, the trucking industry is working to standardize the connections of the future. In the meantime, fleets are looking for solutions — some of them low-tech — to ensure trucks and trailers talk to each other now.
FEATURE
Earlier this year, as part of our Transport Topics Magazine Event Series, Formulate, we sat down with Homer Hogg, vice president of truck service at TravelCenters of America, to discuss the future of vehicle maintenance.
Q&A
Ginnapher Velez, Senior VP of Asset Management and Fleet Operations, Clean Harbors
COLUMNS
For some time, there has been quite a change in how the trucking industry views the internal combustion engine juxtaposed with the emergence of electrification.
Looking back on writing about truck technology for many years, there have been just a few standout engine introductions. The introduction of the Cummins Signature 600/ISX, with dual overhead camshafts, was one of them.
Everyone who plans, coaches or consults in the field of Total Quality Management (TQM) seeks to visualize the process of achieving excellence in terms of triangles and pyramids.

"The more things change, the more they stay the same. The mission of any maintenance shop is to repair vehicles as quickly and precisely as possible. There are scheduled maintenance needs sprinkled with the occasional emergency repairs. Efficiency is key. Those concepts will always stay the same.
With a view from the repair shop to the corner office, Calibrate offers more involved discussions into the trends and issues surrounding equipment and maintenance." - Michael Freeze, Features Editor, Transport Topics
