Trucking execs sound the alarm Trucking executives are sounding the alarm on how coronavirus will affect their business, according to a recently released Bank of America Truck Shipper Survey. The survey hit an all-time low for shippers’ view of near-term demand, which covers the next three months, since it launched in 2012. The indicator dipped 10 percent from the prior survey, “highlighting the deteriorating demand environment as the COVID-19 virus spread,’’ according to Ken Hoexter, a Bank of America analyst. In late March, demand for goods was falling quickly as a record 3.3 million Americans filed for unemployment assistance.

When it comes to food grade products whether a hauler is transporting liquid milk, juice, or syrup, cleaning of the tanks is crucial for the transporter to provide safe loads. In addition some loads are very difficult to clean out completely and require additional expertise by the cleaning facility. www.twitter.com/tanktransporter www.facebook.com/transporttrader ADVERTISING DEADLINE: APRIL 23RD TANK TRUCK SERVICE FACILITIES • TANK CLEANING FACILITIES • TANK TRUCK BUYERS GUIDE • WASTE PUMPER BUYERS GUIDE GO TO WWW.TANKTRANSPORT.COM/2020PRODUCTSERVICEDIRECTORY www.TankTransport.com [email protected] 1-800-537-1320 Fax: 817-348-0289 APRIL 2020 2020 PRODUCT SERVICE DIRECTORY AND BUYERS GUIDE–NOW AVAILABLE Town turns school into truck-stop A high school just three blocks from Interstate 5 in Washington will serve as a 24-hour rest stop for truck drivers, in hopes of revitalizing a small-town economy while providing overworked drivers with basic services during the coronavirus outbreak. “We’re ready to receive.

The comments from Cheniere Energy highlighted mounting problems for the more than a dozen companies vying to export more LNG through U.S. ports. LNG prices have plunged because new processing facilities have increased supply just as a warm northern hemisphere winter has crimped demand.

Pennsylvania reopens rest areas Only days after Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that its rest areas and welcome centers would be closed to the public, Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association reported that the state planned to reopen its rest areas in some capacity. On March 18, the department announced it planned to reopen rest areas for truck-only parking, according to Geroge McCauley, deputy secretary for PennDOT.. “They are unsure whether that will include restroom and vending or keep the buildings closed and Bill seeks funding for truck parking U.S. Reps. Mike Bost (R-IL) and Angie Craig (D-MN), members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, last month introduced H.R. 6104, the Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act. If passed into law, the bill would dedicate hundreds of millions of dollars to projects that increase truck parking spaces so that truck drivers can safely comply with hours-of- service regulations. Funding would be awarded on a competitive basis and applicants would be required to submit detailed proposals to the U.S. Department (Bill on truck parking continued on page 23) (Pennsylvania rest areas continued on page 14)

In the trucking industry, the impact was uneven in March. Some drivers were putting in overtime as retailers demanded more and more supplies as panicked shoppers ransacked shelves for supplies. Online orders were also set to increase, with Amazon hiring an additional 100,000 warehouse workers to keep up with “unprecedented demand.’’ By last March, many drivers had already lost their jobs or were seeing demand fall rapidly. Particularly affected were those involved in hauling products such as crude oil, vehicles and home-building materials – sectors expected to feel the pain first. On March 11, before the virus had spread into most states, Morgan Stanley surveyed 350 freight- transportation stakeholders. Even at that point respondents were expressing anxiety. About 80 percent of them said coronavirus was already affecting their business, up from 60 percent two weeks earlier. Minnesota-based driver Chad Childress believes he is beginning to run out of options. He hauls wheat, corn and other agricultural products. Some 300,000 to 400,000 truck drivers own and operate their trucks, meaning that they don’t have much protection if rates or demand fall. “With all the talks in the news from the president about help for working families affected by the outbreak, there hasn’t been any talks about the owner-operator with one truck and a family,’’ Childress said. “Where does that person turn to for aid during this time?’’ Trucking is often looked at as a leading indicator of where the rest of the economy is headed. With 71-percent of America’s freight moved by truck, companies foreseeing the need for fewer trucks is typically an omen of an economic downturn: If manufacturers are producing less and people are buying less, there’s less of a need to move goods. “Because trucking participates in all phases of manufacturing, it increases as manufacturing starts to ramp up, giving it leading indication on economic growth,’’ said Steve Tam, the vice president of ACT Research. utilize port-a-potties or offer no services outside of parking,” said Kevin Stewart, president of the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association. “They are looking at the high volume locations first. We continue to stress the utmost importance rest areas play in maintaining driver health and safety and will continue to press the department to open these facilities as expeditiously as possible.” PennDOT said its initial decision was in response to Gov. Tom Wolf’s guidance regarding the COVID-19 novel coronavirus. On March 14, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) issued a national emergency declaration to provide hours-of-service regulatory relief to commercial vehicle drivers transporting emergency supplies in response to the coronavirus outbreak. (Trucking execs continued from page 1) (Pennsylvania rest areas continued from page 1) TSA issues hazmat exemption The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued an interim exemption that will allow drivers with a valid Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) to obtain a hazardous materials (hazmat) endorsement without going through additional security checks. The TSA Modernization Act – passed in October 2018 – allows states to issue a hazmat endorsement on a state-issued CDL to a driver who holds a valid Transportation Worker Identification Credential. This provision allows states to use the existing TWIC to verify the completion of the TSA security threat assessment. The exemption will go into effect until TSA can amend the pertinent regulations to conform with the TSA Modernization Act. TSA said until the process to revise the regulations is complete, it is necessary to issue this exemption so that drivers can comply with the new statutory language and remain in compliance with TSA’s regulations. Under current law, cited in the 2001 anti-terrorism Patriot Act, no state may issue a hazmat endorsement for a commercial driver’s license until TSA notifies the state that the applicant does not pose a security threat. It also requires TSA to conduct a security threat assessment consisting of criminal, immigration, and terrorism checks. Hazmat applications also must provide biographic and biometric information to TSA. But the TSA Modernization Act allows TSA to grant an exemption from those regulations if the administrator determines the exemption is in the public interest. TSA said it has has determined that it is in the public interest to grant an exemption from certain hazmat regulations when an applicant holds a valid TWIC. With this new exemption, individuals with a valid TWIC may now forego the submission of information, biometrics and fees to TSA because the individual is deemed to have already completed the appropriate security threat assessment. The American Trucking Associations (ATA) said in a statement that it applauded TSA taking what it called a “long overdue, but important,” step. “The announcement by TSA that it will now allow drivers with a TWIC to more quickly and easily receive a hazmat endorsement eliminates costly and duplicitous background checks for drivers,” said Dan Horvath, vice president of safety policy. “ATA has long urged federal agencies to eliminate these redundant background checks for drivers, notably the Transportation Worker Identification/hazmat issue.” In 2018, ATA, said it, along with National Tank Truck Carriers (NTTC), submitted comments to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regarding the issuance of hazmat endorsements. As part of these comments, ATA and NTTC urged the agency to modify the requirements on states for issuing hazmat endorsements to align with federal law. Specifically, ATA and NTTC requested the agency acknowledge language in the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 2018, which explicitly empowers states to issue hazmat endorsements to drivers who already hold a valid TWIC. “We appreciate TSA making this common-sense change, a change that will keep our highways safe while reducing the administrative burden on drivers and costs to our industry,” Horvath said.

Buyers are happy to snap up the supercooled fuel as needed on the international spot market rather than lock themselves into 15- or 20-year deals. “Whether it be the coronavirus or a warm winter, the whole sense of urgency from the customers who sign long-term contracts has dropped,” Jack Fusco, chief executive, told analysts as Cheniere reported fourth-quarter results. The company indicated it could delay a decision on a mooted “stage three” expansion of its export facility at Corpus Christi, Texas. Binding contracts are critical to obtaining loans for the project. “I do think that market will be tougher for us to continue to get our fair share of those contracts and be able to commercialize stage three at this point,” Fusco said. A final investment decision would be made in 2020, Cheniere said. Previously it had said it planned to decide by mid-year. “We will remain disciplined and not move forward with the project until we have sufficient commercial support to meet or exceed our investment parameters,” said Michael Wortley, chief financial officer. Cheniere is an emblem of U.S. energy abundance, having been the first to convert a gas import plant to handle exports at its terminal in Sabine Pass, La. The New York-listed company exported the equivalent of 4 percent of U.S. gas production last year. LNG exports have expanded American influence in Europe, offsetting Russian power over gas customers, and created new ties to allies and trading partners in Asia. As U.S. companies try to execute potential new export facilities, other projects are also advancing from Canada to Mozambique. The amount of proposed capacity surpasses expected growth in consumption over the next five years. The oversupply has emboldened utilities and power generators to get more gas on the spot market. “Better pricing and more flexibility have superseded security of supply on the priority list,” said Ira Joseph, head of gas and power analytics at S&P Global Platts. In a sign of slack market conditions, Fusco disclosed that two buyers had each canceled an LNG cargo for delivery in April, without identifying them. One of those is Naturgy, a Spanish utility that also trades natural gas, which canceled one cargo for April earlier this month due to lower prices in the spot market, according to a person familiar with the matter. Naturgy has a long-term purchase contract with Cheniere but sold on its volumes to other users. The American gas sector was encouraged last month when Washington signed a preliminary trade deal with China. Beijing committed to import $52.4 billion in oil, gas and coal from the U.S. over the next two years. The economic damage from coronavirus, first discovered in China, has raised doubts whether the commitments will be fulfilled. Fusco said he was awaiting “clarity on implementation and enforcement, especially in light of the coronavirus and what impact that may have on Chinese foreign trade in the near term.’’ Based in Houston, Cheniere earned net income of $648 million in 2019, up 38 percent from 2018, on revenue of $9.7 billion. (from Financial Times) doors to truckers in late March. The re-purposed site includes 30 parking spaces, Hansen said, as well as a gymnasium and track – so drivers can exercise – and a concession space hosting six food vendors, several of which are local. Mirroring the devastation that has hit the restaurant industry around the country, Woodland’s dining venues have been forced to close, and may not be able to recover unless their owners find new customers, Hansen said. “What we’re trying to do is to help the truckers but also pump revenue into the economy,” he said, adding that local restaurants as well as regional and national chains continue to inquire about setting up an outpost at the high school. “They are chomping at the bit.” The trucking industry is responsible for transporting the majority of goods and products our communities rely on each day, said Michael Green, superintendent of Woodland Public Schools. “Providing the men and women who drive these trucks a place to rest and relax is vital in ensuring every community will receive the deliveries they need in this time of COVID-19 prevention.” Darlene Johnson, co-owner of Woodland Truck Line, a general freight and truckload business, said the need for a local truck-stop is “huge.” On an average day, she said, about 6,000 trucks drive by the community. Nearly 70 volunteers have contributed to the truck stop initiative, according to Hansen, a retail marketing manager for a Fortune 50 technology company. He said he got the idea for the site after watching a video about truck-stops shutting down or limiting services at a time when they are desperately needed. He hopes the Washington State Department of Transportation will post an electronic sign letting drivers know the new rest area is open. He has also notified the Washington and Oregon truckers associations. “People want to support it,” Hansen said. “And we want it to go viral.” The collective effort is a sign that “people are appreciating truck drivers a little more than they used to,” Johnson believes. “I think we’re getting back to truckers as ‘knights of the road.’” (School truck-stop continued from page 1) (LNG exporter continued from page 1) TM www.

See what people are saying! ZMD ® Shockless Ride Technology UPS buying thousands of CNG trucks UPS plans to purchase more than 6,000 natural gas-powered trucks beginning this year and running through 2022. The three-year commit- ment represents a $450 million invest- ment in expanding the company’s alternative fuel and advanced technol- ogy vehicle fleet as well as supporting infrastructure, the company said. The new vehicles will be equipped with compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel systems provided under an exclusive agreement with Agility Fuel Solutions, a business of Hexagon Composites. The investment in CNG fuel systems expands UPS’s relationship with Agility Fuel Solutions and supports UPS’s fleet sustainability efforts. It will help reduce UPS’s carbon footprint and is expected to have a positive influence on national CNG market growth, company officials said. The CNG fleet expansion also provides additional capacity for expanding the use of renewable natural gas (RNG). “UPS continues to expand and improve our smart logistics network by implementing new technologies and creating a highly flexible, data- driven and sustainable network,” said Juan Perez, chief information and engineering officer. “That is why we intend for 25 percent of our vehicles purchased this year to run on alternative fuels.” Vehicles equipped with CNG fuel systems can interchangeably use RNG and conventional natural gas. Produced from landfills, dairy farms and other bio sources, RNG yields up to a 90 percent reduction in life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions when compared to conventional diesel. Since October 2019, UPS has agreed to purchase 230 million gallon equivalents of RNG over the next seven years, making the company the largest consumer of RNG in the transportation industry. Since 2016, Agility Fuel Solutions has provided natural gas fuel storage and delivery systems to more than 1,700 UPS trucks. As part of the new agreement, Agility will provide complete end-to-end natural gas systems for heavy-duty gas trucks, terminal tractors and medium-duty walk-in vans, which are UPS’s familiar brown delivery trucks. These will include on-board CNG fuel storage and management and Agility’s certified natural gas engine fuel systems. “We are proud to continue our collaboration with UPS, a front-runner in clean transportation,” said Seung Baik, president of Agility Fuel Solutions. “With our range of proven and reliable clean fuel technologies and aftermarket support capabilities, we will assist UPS in reaching its sustainability targets.” Over the past decade, UPS has invested more than $1 billion in alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles and fueling stations to help meet its target of reducing absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 12 percent across its global ground operations by 2025, the company said. UPS has continued its relationship with TruStar Energy to design, manufacture and install five new CNG fueling stations in Lathrop, Visalia and Moreno Valley, Calif.; Houston, Texas; and Cleveland, Ohio. UPS will deploy the new CNG vehicles on routes to utilize the new CNG stations as well as adding to existing natural gas fleets in other UPS locations. By the end of last year, UPS was operating 61 natural gas fueling stations strategically located across the U.S., and outside the U.S. in Vancouver, Canada, and Tamworth, United Kingdom. UPS, based in Atlanta, Ga., serves more than 220 countries and territories worldwide. 16 TANK TRANSPORT TRADER I APRIL 2020 www.TankTransport.com

The station is an attended card-lock facility servicing over-the-road drayage truck fleets, waste haul companies and other commercial fleets transiting the Interstate-10 freight corridor. The station has been growing its LNG and CNG fuel supply volumes to a range of truck fleets, including CLEANCOR customers servicing cargo to the Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles as well as other locations in Arizona and California. “The Palm Springs station is an exciting addition to our portfolio, as it serves as a critical refueling waypoint for existing CLEANCOR customers transiting the I-10 corridor. Its strategic location in California, a leader in clean fuel initiatives, also offers unique growth opportunities as more over-the- road trucking fleets are incentivized to switch to cleaner, less costly fueling alternatives,” said Jeff Woods, CLEANCOR’s chief executive. Compared to diesel fuel, LNG and CNG reduce carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions by 11 percent and 17 percent, respectively, CLEANCOR officials said. “CLEANCOR stands ready to support fleets in this transition and tailor the design and operation of public and private fueling facilities for our customers across North America,” Woods said. The Palm Springs station will be branded “CLEANCOR Fuels.” It has the capacity to expand the number of fleets refueling at the station. In addition to LNG and CNG, CLEANCOR provides renewable natural gas (RNG) at the fuel station at no additional cost to customers. NTTC names contest winners National Tank Truck Carriers (NTTC) recently announced the finalists in its 2019 North American Safety Contest. These 18 carriers and private fleets produced the best safety records in their mileage classes, operating with the fewest accidents per- million mile rate and the lowest personnel incident rates. “Congratulations to these first-class carriers and fleets for winning their respective mileage categories,’’ said Daniel Furth, NTTC’s president. “This year’s contest so far has been especially competitive, so these carriers and their whole teams should be very proud of their safety performance in one of the safest segments in trucking. I’d like to thank our sponsor for this contest, Heil Trailer International, for its continued support of our safety program that strengthens this important pillar of NTTC’s mission.” The North American grand award winners were: • Over 90 million miles: Trimac Transportation, Calgary, Canada. • 40 to 90 million miles: Oakley Transport of Lake Wales, Fla. • 31.5 to 40 million miles: J&M Tank Lines, Birmingham, Ala. • 18.5 to 31 million miles, Andrews Logistics Texas LP, Southlake, Texas Other winners in various categories were Atlantic Bulk Carrier Corp. of Providence Forge, Va.; Gemini Motor Transport LP of Oklahoma City; CLI Transport of Altoona, Pa.; LSP Transport of Bryan, Texas; Poolsure of Houston, Texas. These carriers now move on to the second stage of the contest where they compete for the coveted Heil Trophy in two broader divisions: The Sutherland Division for operations at or under 15 million miles, and the Harvison Division for operations over 15 million miles. The mileage divisions are named after the association’s first two and longest- serving presidents: Austin Sutherland (1945-1972) and his successor, Cliff Harvison (1972-2005). All Grand Award Winners and the winners of the Heil Trophy will be recognized during NTTC’s Safety and Security Council Meeting, June 16 – 18 in Biloxi, Miss. Diane Leopold to chair AGA Diane Leopold, executive vice president and co-chief operating officer of Dominion Energy, will serve as chairwoman of the American Gas Association (AGA) board of directors, the association announced recently. “America’s natural gas utilities are working every day to build a safe, clean energy future for the people and communities we serve,” Leopold said. “While the move from coal to natural gas has dramatically lowered emissions from the power sector, we know there is much more to do. We are using advanced technologies to reduce methane emissions across the natural gas delivery system. “We are increasing our energy efficiency programs, so our customers can use less. We are helping other industries reduce their reliance on higher-carbon fuels, so they can lower their carbon footprints, too. I am incredibly proud to take the helm of AGA at this exciting time, and I look forward to working with AGA member companies in every corner of the country as we build momentum for a cleaner future together.” At Dominion Energy, Leopold oversees three operating segments: Gas Transmission and Storage, consisting of 15,900 miles of natural gas transmission, gathering and storage pipelines, gas storage operations and the Cove Point LNG facility; Gas Distribution, which has four gas local distribution companies serving nearly 3 million customer accounts in Idaho, North Carolina, Ohio, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming; and Dominion Energy South Carolina, a natural gas and electric utility serving 1.1 million customer accounts. “Diane Leopold is a strong voice for our industry, leading by example through her steadfast vision for how our industry can continue to be clean energy leaders in the coming decades. We are incredibly fortunate to have her stepping into this role at this time as we focus on pathways to achieve our shared goal of reducing emissions while maintaining the quality of life that Americans enjoy,” said Karen Harbert, AGA president and chief executive. Harbert pointed to Dominion Energy’s renewable natural gas (RNG) initiative as an example of utility efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through smart innovation, new and modernized infrastructure, and advanced technologies that maintain reliable, resilient, and affordable energy service choices for consumers. A recent study by the American Gas Foundation estimates that by 2040 about 4,513 trillion Btu of RNG could be produced annually leading to a 95-percent reduction in emissions from the natural gas residential sector. Leopold has been at Dominion Energy for 25 years. She was previously senior vice president for business development and generation construction; senior vice president–Dominion Transmission; and executive vice president, president and chief executive for the Gas Infrastructure Group. Leopold became president of the natural gas business unit in January 2014, chief executive in January 2017 and was promoted to executive vice president in May 2017. She assumed her current role in December 2019. In other gas industry news, CenterPoint Energy Inc. announced in February that Scott M. Prochazka stepped down as president and chief executive. Prochazka served as chair of the AGA board of directors prior to that date. David H. Anderson, president and chief executive of NW Natural based in Portland, Ore., will assume the first vice-chair role previously held by Leopold. Kimberly Greene, chair, president and chief executive of Southern Company Gas based in Atlanta, Ga., was elected as second vice chair. AGA, founded in 1918, represents more than 200 local energy companies that deliver clean natural gas throughout the United States. There are more than 75 million residential, commercial and industrial natural gas customers in the U.S., of which 95 percent – more than 71 million customers – receive their gas from AGA members. Today, natural gas meets more than three-tenths of the United States’ energy needs. (LNG outlook continued on page 21) Oversupply means LNG outlook ‘not great’ Liquefied natural gas prices are poised to test record lows this year thanks to an onslaught of new supply and warmer winter temperatures curbing consumption. The startup of new export projects from Australia to the U.S. has flooded the market, while brimming stockpiles in Europe and an expected slowdown in Chinese demand have dumped cold water on consumption prospects. LNG for spot delivery to North Asia is on track to hit an all-time low this summer, while gas prices in Europe and the U.S. are trading at the weak- est seasonal levels since 1999. “The outlook for natural gas over the next year or so isn’t great,” said Marco Dunand, chief executive officer of trading house Mercuria Energy Group Ltd. “There’s a surplus already in the U.S. and Europe. And the mild winter in Asia means another surplus is building up there.’’ Mercuria jumped into LNG trading last year with hires from EDF Trading Ltd. Shares of U.S. LNG developer Tellurian Inc. fell as much as 5.1 percent in early March while tanker owner Golar LNG Ltd. dropped as much as 6 percent This is what the rock-bottom prices mean for the industry: 1. American Halt U.S. gas exports have surged amid the nation’s shale boom, but plummeting prices may now throttle back shipments or encourage sustained maintenance while firms weather the storm. Producers and companies with off-take agreements may decide not to load cargoes because prices are too low to earn a profit after accounting for shipping costs. “The global oversupply of LNG has been building and building and building,” said Ron Ozer, founder of gas-focused hedge fund Statar Capital LLC in New York. “The gas market can’t stomach the oversupply and warm weather, and it’s getting both.” With cargoes from the Gulf of Mexico currently priced around $2.65 per mil- lion Btu, cash margins are positive only because of weak U.S. benchmark prices, according to Robert Sims, an analyst at Wood Mackenzie Ltd. There’s a chance that production could be reduced if the spread between bench- mark Henry Hub and U.S. Gulf LNG narrows 25 cents, he said.

Carriers navigate softer demand In a March 4 press release, Old Dominion Freight Line reported a small decline in revenue compared to the year-ago period. The less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier reported a 1-percent year- over-year decline in revenue per day for the month of February as daily LTL tonnage declined 5.2 percent, partially offset by an increase in revenue per hundredweight, (revenue/cwt) or yield. LTL shipments were 3.7 percent lower and weight per shipment was down 1.5 percent in February. “We are off to a good start in 2020, and our revenue trends for the first two months of the year are in alignment with our initial expectations. While our revenue for February was down on a year-over-year basis, our volume trends were consistent and yields also continued to improve,” said Old Dominion President Greg Gantt. The company reported a 0.2-percent decline in revenue per day for January in its annual 10-k filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which was filed on Feb. 26. The filing stated that daily tonnage was 3.6-percent lower year-over-year as shipments declined 2.5 percent and weight per shipment was down 1.1 percent. Most LTL carriers continue to navigate softer demand as industrial markets remain under pressure. The PMI, a survey of manufacturing supply executives, has hovered near or below the all-important 50-percent level since breaching this threshold for the first time during this cycle in August 2019. A sub 50-percent reading implies contraction in the U.S. manufacturing sector. Manufactured goods can represent nearly 85 percent of total tonnage for some LTL carriers. While LTL volumes have been a headwind to revenue for most carriers, the group appears to have maintained rate discipline during the demand downturn. In the press release, Old Dominion reported a 4.3-percent year-over- year increase in revenue/cwt, up 4.5 percent excluding fuel surcharges, through the first two months of 2020. Old Dominion implemented a 4.9-percent general rate increase (GRI) effective March 2. Regarding the month of February and macroeconomic concerns, Gantt continued, “Our revenue accelerated throughout the month, and we expect to see continued acceleration through the end of the quarter. We are mindful, however, of increased risks to the domestic economy and the potential impact on the demand for our services.” In early March, LTL carrier Saia Inc. reported a 7.7-percent year- over-year increase in tonnage during January as LTL shipments grew by 8 percent and weight per shipment was only 0.3 percent lower. However, the company reported only a 0.4-percent increase in February tonnage with shipments up 1.5 percent and weight per shipment declining 1.1 percent. Saia’s robust tonnage growth rates have started to slow. The carrier launched an aggressive Northeast expansion project in 2017, opening 18 terminals in the region since the program’s inception. Its efforts accelerated with the closure of New England Motor Freight Inc. in February 2019. However, Saia said it plans to scale back expansion plans this year. In its 10-k filing on Feb. 28, LTL carrier ArcBest Corp. reported its asset-based revenue had increased 1.5 percent year-over-year in the first quarter of this year through late February. The carrier reported a 6-percent increase in tonnage, which was partially offset by a 4.5-percent decline in revenue/cwt. The filing went on to show that LTL tonnage increased by a “low single-digit percentage” with spot truckload (TL) shipments climbing double-digit percentages. LTL weight per shipment increased about 3 percent in the period. ArcBest reported that LTL revenue/cwt so far this year has been flat year-over-year excluding the impacts from fuel surcharges. The company implemented a 5.9-percent GRI on Feb. 24 that will affect about one-third of its asset- based revenue. Lastly, YRC Worldwide Inc. in February reported a 0.8-percent decline in tonnage in its freight division, with a 3.7-percent tonnage decline in its regional segment. “WE ARE MINDFUL, HOWEVER, OF INCREASED RISKS TO THE DOMESTIC ECONOMY AND THE POTENTIAL IMPACT ON THE DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES.” - GREG GANTT OLD DOMINION PRESIDENT Trucking, too, is vulnerable to hacking America’s trucking are now trying to imagine losing access to their business management technologies all at once. From back-office computer systems, to dispatch, to mobile communications and shop technologies. Would a company be able to operate? If so, how would it do so? And if its couldn’t operate, would it pay anything to get everything back up and running? That’s exactly what hackers hope when they inject ransomware into a business’ system. News of major hacks against companies, governments and other organizations has become common. No organization, it appears, is immune from cyber threats, and trucking has become a heavily targeted industry. How do company owners defend themselves against such attacks? Experts are advising that managers should assume their system will be attacked, understand the kinds of threats they may face, and implement policies, training and technology to prevent an attack from being successful. “In my experience, most transportation companies are most affected by ransomware and phishing attacks,” said Ben Barnes, chief information security officer at McLeod Software. “The phishing attack is the first step. That’s the strategy hackers use to gain access to your system, which allows them to download the ransom-ware. When a person clicks a link in a phishing email or text message (smishing), it opens a door into your system. Many people don’t realize that just clicking on a link or downloading a photo can give malware a path into computers,” said Sharon Reynolds, chief information security officer at Omnitracs. Understanding that someone will eventually click on a link is an important first step in protecting yourself, she said. The consequences of a ransom- ware attack can be devastating. “Trucking companies should be not just be concerned over cybersecurity, but rather both paranoid and laser focused on it,” said Ben Wiesen, president of Carrier Logistics. Space on a truck is a perishable thing, so any “system outage is revenue lost,” Wiesen said. System outages are the “biggest interrupters’’ to trucking company operations – even more so than weather events, traffic or natural disasters, Wiesen added. Not all system outages are caused by cyberattacks, but the things that can reduce the impact of such attacks can also help with other types of IT outages. Scott Bolt, director of product management at Noregon, a provider of vehicle diagnostic and repair software, said ransomware poses a particular risk, particularly for business and shop systems. “Each of these systems deserves equal attention to prepare for cybersecurity threats,” he said. If a company falls victim of ransomware, they could lose “tools and information their business relies on, potentially limiting their ability to diagnose and repair vehicles with their shop devices.” Another type of threat is known as a “social engineering attack,” according to Lisa Jaffee, assistant vice president, Gallagher Bassett, a risk and claims management company with offices worldwide. In these attacks, “a typical scenario is an organization receives an e-mail that appears to come from a trusted vendor or customer, asking for funds to be wired to a new bank account,” she said. Believing the request is legitimate, a company makes a payment, only to discover later it has been the victim of a fraud. Social engineering attacks can also be where “cyber-criminals take bits of data from many different entities and splice that together to formulate enough information to access email systems, log-ins and passwords or privileged information for credit applications,” Barnes explained. 1. What Part of A Business is Most Susceptible? In general, criminals will go “where the money is,” so back office systems are often prime targets because of their access to company banking and other accounts. “Hackers will frequently target the company’s bookkeeper or chief financial officer, or those who work with them,” Jaffe said. While where a trucking company might be attacked will depend upon how the company’s security is set up, Reynolds said that “most phishing will hit your back office.” But you must also be aware of any old computers, perhaps in the shop, that have access to the management system. 20 TANK TRANSPORT TRADER I APRIL 2020 www.TankTransport.com

“It is difficult, but always attempt to do an inventory of everything you have,’’ Jaffe said. Barnes added: “The number one rule is to know what you have. Pinpoint attacks often target accounting and HR because those personnel have control of cash disbursements,” Barnes adds. But he agrees that companies must be aware of attacks from something that doesn’t on the face of it look suspicious – such as spoofed email that appears to come from the president of the company. While the back office may offer the fattest targets for hackers, all areas of the business are equally at risk, Jaffe pointed out. “Hackers can induce employees across various business segments to inadvertently click on a phishing email and enter their account credentials,” she said. Once they have these account credentials, hackers may have a way to access confidential information, such as customer files, transactions, or other information that can be used to launch other attacks. 2. Are Mobile Devices Safe? While most cyberthreats target back office systems, no one should assume their mobile devices and systems are safe. “Mobile apps and connected vehicles may be less valuable” to hackers, Sandberg said, but “we don’t know what we don’t know.’’ Security experts know that a smartphone can be compromised, so mobile device vendors try to keep on top of possible threats, Reynolds said. Some vendors participate in a cybertruck challenge each year in Detroit, where engineering students try to compromise their devices. Jaffee said that while there has not been a high incidence of cyberattacks targeting telematics or electronic logging devices, there’s still a reason to be concerned. Because of the role the transportation sector plays in the national economy, it could be “a potential target for cyberattacks by nation-states,” Jaffee said 3. How Do You Protect Yourself? The number one thing a company can do to protect itself is to have someone responsible for security, Reynolds said. That person should spearhead the effort to identify the most critical business processes – what data and systems a company can’t Volkswagen dropping CNG cars Last year the Volkswagen Group said “natural gas is readily available, sustainable and cost-effective.’’ With the new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) versions of the Skoda Scala and Kamiq, the group had 19 CNG cars on offer. There won’t be any more, however. Last month the company announced that further development of CNG cars will be halted. Despite aggressive promotion, the demand for gas models has not grown, company officials said. The Volkswagen Group was able to sell only 110,000 CNG-powered cars worldwide last year. In Germany, there were only 7,700 such cars from all manufacturers combined. “The response from the market is not great,” said VW Development Board member Frank Welsch, “and it is foreseeable that the number of vehicles sold will not increase significantly.” This is one reason why the CNG filling station network is shrinking. Instead of the 2,000 points planned in the medium term, there were only 837 in Germany last year – almost 30 fewer than the previous year. For petroleum station operators, the investment in the additional fuel alternative appears as daunting as it is for car manufacturers. Because CNG cars reduce carbon dioxide about 20 percent more than conventional gasoline engines. However, since European automakers are striving to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 37.5 percent by the end of the decade, gas propulsion can hardly be more than a bridge technology. The next major hurdle is likely to be the upcoming EU-7 emissions standard, which is expected to be implemented by 2023 or 2024. Until then, the permissible maximum amounts of fine dust and nitrous oxide must be halved. In principle, that would not be a problem for the clean gas engine, but the development is still complex. Because the emissions are to be controlled over the entire lifetime of the vehicle, the exhaust gas cleaning system must be networked with the on-board electronics. Appropriate software experts are rare, which further weakens the position of CNG, according to a group spokesman. But the ultimate knockout criterion is not technical, but political. Although the share of biogas already exceeds 50 percent in many areas, the manufacturers cannot count it as a renewable fuel. No matter how climate-friendly the vehicles are, they are treated like a car with fossil fuel in the carbon dioxide fleet balance. Pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids with minimum 60-mile battery range, on the other hand, count as zero-emission vehicles. So the manufacturers are relying on e-mobility to avoid fines. About 95 percent of all new CNG cars in Germany come from the VW group. With the departure of this pioneer, the vast majority of other providers will also say goodbye to this technology. Volkswagen Group boss Herbert Diess also wants to develop the fuel cell and other alternative fuels, but only “at the basic level.” tive officer of Gunvor Group Ltd., the biggest independent LNG trader, sees the market about 50 cents away from shutdowns. “We can see even lower prices in the next few months,” Tornqvist said. “The supply and demand balance doesn’t look good.” U.S. cargoes are seen least profitable in Asia in April, and in Europe in July, analyst Anna Borisova said. 2. Contract Scrutiny Buyers may demand revisions to long-term supply contracts, such as better pricing or the removal of restrictions on reselling cargoes. Japan’s Osaka Gas Co. has already taken action, moving an Exxon Mobil Corp.-led LNG joint-venture to arbitration in a bid to get lower rates. Qatar, one of the world’s biggest suppliers and traditionally the strictest when it comes to pricing, may be showing some flexibility. The supplier has started offering more competitive price links, with the lowest seen to Korea Gas at 10.8 percent the price of oil, according to FGE, an energy consultant. That compares to 2008, when Qatar signed contracts with Chinese firms in the 16-percent range. 3. Investment Delays After four years of belt- (LNG outlook continued from page 18) tightening, the amount of investments last year in new production capacity set a record. Companies including Qatar Petroleum, Novatek PJSC and Venture Global LNG Inc. sanctioned new plants from the U.S. to Russia. But the current wave of additional supply and persistent weak global prices is challenging new projects seeking final investment decisions, according to Morgan Stanley. The bank reduced its outlook for the number of projects reaching FID and revised lower its new supply outlook for the middle of the decade. The low price environment will also likely force Qatar to stagger or postpone its planned 64 percent capacity expansion, currently scheduled by 2027, according to FGE. Weak prices mean more pain for global energy majors including Total SA and Eni SpA, who have seen profits from gas-related businesses dwindle. Some European utilities – who face mounting criticism for their use of fossil fuels – may decide to follow peers that are ditching LNG altogether. Denmark’s Orsted A/S cited loss-making LNG operations for its decision to sell the business to Glencore Plc at the end of last year, while Spain’s Iberdola SA completed its exit in February. (from Bloomberg News) live without for one or two hours. Then develop a protection plan that addresses these areas. “It’s irregular warfare. There are many of them coming at once, with infinite amounts of time and resources just to find that one opportunity,” Reynolds said. A cybersecurity plan should include physical safeguards, such as facility access control or preventing employees from taking company devices such as laptops home on the weekend. It should include administrative safeguards, including policies and procedures for logging in to company systems — as well as an incident response plan when an attack occurs. Companies also can benefit from conducting vulnerability scans and penetration testing to identify and fix system vulnerabilities before a breach occurs. Another thing to consider is a cyber insurance rider, expert say. Most importantly, trucking companies “don’t want to be the low- hanging fruit,” Barnes said. Company managers should implement policies and procedures that can help them and their employees protect against cyberthreats. Otherwise, they are essentially “leaving their house wide open,” Barnes said (from industry reports) www.TankTransport.com APRIL 2020 I TANK TRANSPORT TRADER 21

The primary focus would be to construct new truck parking facilities and convert existing weigh stations and rest areas into functional parking spaces for truck drivers. “After decades of ignoring the problem, Congress is finally getting serious about fixing the severe lack of truck parking across the country. Finding a safe place to park is something most people take for granted, but it’s a daily struggle for hundreds of thousands of truckers,” said Todd Spencer, president and chief executive of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA). “Congressman Bost and Congresswoman Craig have shown they not only understand truckers are experiencing a crisis, buthave the mettle to address it through groundbreaking, bipartisan legislation.” While Congress and the Federal Highway Administration have tried to address this issue with the enactment of Jason’s Law and the launching of the National Coalition on Truck Parking, OOIDA contends that substantive federal investment to expand capacity is long overdue. “The national truck parking crisis is also a national highway safety crisis,” Spencer said. “Truckers don’t want to park on the side of the road. It creates a hazard to them and the motoring public. But sometimes there’s literally no other option. This bill has the potential to generate much more truck parking capacity and every member of Congress should support it.” In addition to OOIDA, H.R. 6104 also has the support of the American Trucking Associations (ATA), Truckload Carriers Association, National Association of Small Trucking Companies, and the National Motorists Association. David Heller, vice president of Government Affairs of the Truckload Carriers Association, said: “Truck parking consistently ranks as one of the most important issues for the Truckload Carriers Association and trucking stakeholders across the country.” Heller added that, “On a daily basis, our companies’ drivers face dangerous conditions due to the lack of safe and convenient parking options.

Page 9 INDEX OF ADVERTISERS Representatives Bost and Craig for their dedication to resolving this critical safety obstacle through this legislation, which will devote significant funding toward the development of suitable parking on our nation’s highways.” Chris Spear, president of ATA, said, “Truck drivers perform a valuable service to our economy – moving more than 70 percent of our nation’s goods – and having opportunities to safely rest is an important part of that. Representatives Bost and Craig recognize that in order to do their jobs, truck drivers need places where they can safely park and rest is overdue and we applaud them for their leadership in introducing this important legislation.” One of the persistent complaints drivers have is they struggle to find safe parking, according to Randy Guillot, ATA’s chairman and president of Triple G Express Inc. “This bill will provide the means to help address that concern.” (from HDT Trucking Info) When the rest of America is headed for a downturn, freight usually dips first, according to a 2019 report from Convoy’s economic research division. The industry went into a recession in April 2006, more than a year before the rest of the economy was clobbered by the Great Recession of 2008. Freight has been in a downturn since late 2018 or early 2019, according to various experts. In the first half of 2019, about 640 trucking companies went bankrupt, according to industry data from Broughton Capital LLC That’s more than triple the amount of bankruptcies from the same period last year.
