PAID TRAINING PROGRAM FOR COMPANY DRIVERS

Auto-transport driver is building a personal
brand with enthusiasm and kindness
Many drivers work hard to project a
professional image, but there aren’t many who
have a brand. Jacinda Duran, the Women In
Trucking February 2020 Member of the Month,
is acutely aware of hers. She takes her mission
of inspiration, encouragement and motivation
seriously, regularly posting her thoughts and
activities for thousands of followers on multiple
social-media platforms under the name “Jacinda
Lady Truck’n.” She maintains her own website
at jacindaladytruckn.com and is registered as her
own Limited Liability Corporation in Arizona.
“I have this special gift of connecting with
people, and I thank God for it,” she told The
Trucker while taking a rest break in Elkton,
Maryland. “I’m just chillin’ in my big bunk,
playing with my dog and watching Netflix,” she
added.
Her big bunk is attached to a Kenworth T680
tractor and pulls an enclosed auto-transport
trailer for Plycar Transportation Group, a
Jacinda Duran has been with Plycar
Transportation Group for a little over a
year and she said she loves the work she
does. She was hired as the company’s
first solo female driver. (Courtesy:
Women in Trucking)
family-owned third-generation carrier. Duran
runs out of the company’s Torrance, California,
facility.
The dog is “Miles,” a female lab-retriever
mix adopted from Mutts4Truckers, a group that
matches pets needing a home with drivers who
need furry companionship. Duran recorded a
publicity video for the group.
Duran has been with Plycar for a little over a
year now and couldn’t be happier. “By far, what
I’m doing now is my favorite,” she said. “Plycar
is so good to me!”
Like many of her friendships, her
relationship with Plycar began through social
media. A grandson of the late Arthur Pliaconis,
who founded the company, contacted her
on Instagram, telling her that her outgoing
personality and mastery of social media would
make her an excellent representative for the
company. They met in person in Denver, which
led to Duran’s hiring as the first solo female
enclosed car hauler for Plycar.
Duran’s involvement with trucking came
early. Both parents drove trucks, as did two
grandparents. She often accompanied her
mother on runs. Still, her driving career had
multiple stops before she finally went to the big
trucks. “I came from trucking and logistics, but
I never planned to drive a truck,” she said. “I
started as a courier for FedEx, and I also drove
limousines and buses once I got my Class B
license.” Those busses included charter buses
and a “party bus” from one provider. “That’s
where the money is,” Duran related, “but you
see some strange things!”
As often happens in trucking, Duran’s step
12 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR 2020 HUNDREDS OF JOBS www.TheTrucker.com/jobs

up to Class A came from other women in the
industry. “At FedEx, some of the women who
drove line-haul would ask me, ‘J, why aren’t
you driving a truck?’” She went to school and
earned her Class A CDL through FedEx Ground,
and still stays in contact with her trainers there.
Duran spends a great deal of time sharing
her experiences with other drivers through the
posting of videos, written blogs and general
comments. “I think it inspires people to see that
someone like me is successful and enjoying
life,” she said. The catchphrase she often uses to
introduce her videos is “Lady Truck’n coming
at you.” She’s incredibly positive and exudes
an energy few can match. Her communications
aren’t over-produced, and there’s never a script.
“I just share things I like doing,” she explained.
“The only editing I do is for length.”
When meeting her, people are often surprised
that she is the same in person as she appears in
her videos. Her ability to connect helps with her
driving, too. “I love getting to know people,” she
said. “By the time I get to some of my deliveries,
they know me so well that I get a big hug when
I arrive, and they invite me in.”
Those relationships, however, often begin
with surprise that the person hauling their
expensive automobile is a woman. “Sometimes
when I go to places, people look for my partner,”
she explained.
“It’s like they’re expecting a man to get out of
the truck to handle the real work of loading or
unloading.” Duran smiles and lets them know
she has it all under control.
One thing she loves about her job with
Plycar is that she gets to see places that many
other drivers don’t. “Drivers kind of joke about
seeing the world as driver,” she said, “but I really
do. I’m not just on the interstate; we go to lesstraveled
areas. I’m in people’s neighborhoods.”
Another perk of her job is the beautiful
automobiles she sometimes hauls. “I see some
amazing cars,” she said. “My first favorite was a
late ‘50s Corvette convertible. The sound of the
engine was just incredible!”
Many of the automobiles she hauls are
electric vehicles. Duran said that while some
look amazing, “I want to hear that roar!”
Duran’s two children are grown and
beginning careers of their own. “My girl
is in nursing school and will be graduating
soon,” she said. “My son is a cadet at the Air
Force Academy, and he’ll be an officer in four
years.” Although she’s happy they have chosen
professions, she knows there is something more
important. “They’re good people, and that’s
more important to me than what they do for a
career. I’m very proud of both of them.”
Faith plays a large role in Duran’s daily
activities. Although she doesn’t regularly attend
any specific church, she said, “My faith is
growing. I’ve always been spiritual. I have like
seven bibles in my bunk.”
She shares her faith with other drivers as the
opportunity arises. “I connect with others on
so many levels; that’s such a blessing for me,”
she said. “If someone wants to discuss my faith,
I’m happy to share, but we can talk about other
things, too.”
As for the future, Duran said she’d like to
own her own truck and maybe even her own
company someday, but she’s in no hurry. “I
want to keep building my brand,” she said. She
recently became a representative for Trucker
Tools, a load matching and tracking app. She’ll
be representing the company at the Mid-
America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky,
this year. She’ll consider other opportunities for
representation, writing or other ways to continue
encouraging other in the trucking industry.
“Embrace every day,” she said. “It’s a brandnew
start.”

Georgia’s planned ‘truck-only’
lanes would be first to officially
exclude noncommercial
vehicles
While the concept of separate “truck-only”
drive lanes, separated from other traffic by barrier
walls or medians, is not a new idea, the actual
implementation is a relatively novel concept
for the U.S. Sure, it’s common for truckers to see
signs directing them to restrict usage to one or
two lanes, but those lanes are not usually physically
set apart from the others.
Two of the nation’s first truck-only lanes are
along Interstate 5 in Los Angeles, and more may
be implemented in the near future. Black-andwhite
signs, which are enforceable by law, direct
trucks to follow these lanes. However, green
signs, NOT enforceable by law, advise passenger
cars and noncommercial vehicles to remain
in the main travel lanes, according to California’s
state transportation department (Caltrans).
The result? Noncommercial vehicles can mingle
with the big rigs in the so-called “truck-only”
lanes, effectively canceling the lanes’ original
purpose “to separate trucks from other mixedflow
traffic to enhance safety and/or stabilize
traffic flow.”
While several states, including Texas, Arizona
and others, have tossed around the idea of
creating truck-only lanes with similar goals of
facilitating traffic flow in congested areas, only
one has set a concrete plan into motion.
The Georgia Department of Transportation’s
Major Mobility Investment Program (MMIP), a
long-range, five-pronged plan put into motion
in 2016 with a projected total completion date
of 2032, includes the I-74 Commercial Vehicle
Lanes project. The project will add barrier-separated
lanes devoted to commercial traffic along
a 40-mile stretch of northbound Interstate 75 be-
Although the concept in Georgia will be the first to exclude noncommercial
vehicles by law, there are two truck-only lanes in Los Angeles. Shown

tween Macon and McDonough, part of a heavily
traveled freight corridor between Savannah, one
of the nation’s major shipping ports, and Atlanta,
where shipping giant UPS Inc. is headquartered.
The nontolled lanes are slated for the use
of commercial trucks only, with passenger and
general-use vehicles prohibited — a first for the
U.S.
Other prongs of MMIP include revamping
interchanges at I-16 and I-95, I-285 and I-20
West, and I-285 and I-20 East; adding express
lanes at three points along I-285 and along SR
400; widening parts of I-85 and I-16; and completing
advanced-improvement projects in a variety
of areas.
According to GDOT’s website, “The
I-75 Commercial Vehicle Lanes Project will
improve mobility and safety for freight operators
and vehicles. … The project will benefit all
motorists by reducing congestion and improving
safety while offering direct economic benefits to
travelers in Georgia as well as freight and logistic
carriers in the Southeast.”
In the Winter 2020 issue of Milepost,
GDOT’s quarterly publication, Tim Matthews,
MMIP program manager, described the I-75
commercial-vehicle lanes project as a “big win”
for GDOT.
“The acceleration of this project supports
freight mobility and travel-time reliability for
all along this important corridor,” Matthews
wrote. “Through these major projects, Georgia
DOT will deliver some of the nation’s most
innovative transport solutions and the newest
engineering and technical advances by addressing
congestion, adding capacity and supporting
transit.”
An article published in March 2018, Roads
& Bridges, a trade publication aimed at the roadand
bridge-construction industry, quoted the estimated
cost of the project at $1.8 billion, adding
that GDOT estimates a 40% reduction in traffic
delays along the route.
According to a timeline posted at
majormobilityga.com, a website that offers updates
on the program, construction on the commercial-vehicles-only
lanes is slated to begin
in 2024, and GDOT hopes to have the stretch
open to traffic by 2028.
FMCSA sends proposed HOS
rule to White House; last step
before being made final
The long-awaited, hoped-for revision to
the Hours of Service rule took a giant step
toward reality when acting FMCSA administrator
Jim Mullen announced March 2 the
rule had been sent to the White House for
approval.
“After carefully reviewing these comments,
I am pleased to say that the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration is
moving forward with a final rule on Hours
of Service and that the agency has sent a final
rule to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review,” Mullen said at
the 82nd Annual Truckload Carriers Association
Convention in Kissimmee, Florida.
“While I can’t go into the specifics of this
final rule, please know that the goal of this
process from the beginning has been to improve
safety for all motorists and to increase
flexibility for commercial drivers.”
The OMB is part of the executive branch
of the federal government and has the option
of approving the rule or sending it back
to FMCSA for changes.
There is no set time frame for the OMB
to complete its work on the rule and return
it to the FMCSA approved as final.
The comments to which Mullen referred
were submitted by trucking-industry stakeholders
after the agency issued an advanced
notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) for
HOS in 2018, followed by a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) in August 2019.
The ANPRM asked for comments on four
areas of possible changes and the NPRM
outlined five proposed changes based on the
comments to the ANPRM.
The agency’s decision to explore changes
in HOS began in 2018 in response to pleas
from drivers and motor-carrier executives
to allow more flexibility in the rule, specifically
in two areas — extending the 14-hour
clock in certain circumstances and doing
away with the requirement implemented in
18 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR 2020 HUNDREDS OF JOBS www.TheTrucker.com/jobs

2005 that requires eight consecutive hours
in the sleeper berth.
Prior to 2005, the rule called for two periods
totaling 10 or more hours in the berth,
each with a minimum of two hours.
In the NPRM the agency proposed to:
• Increase safety and flexibility for the
30-minute break rule by tying the break requirement
to eight hours of driving time without
an interruption for at least 30 minutes and
allowing the break to be satisfied by a driver
using on-duty, not driving status, rather than
off-duty.
• Modify the sleeper-berth exception to allow
drivers to split their required 10 hours offduty
into two periods: one period of at least
seven consecutive hours in the sleeper berth
and the other period of not less than two consecutive
hours, either off duty or in the sleeper
berth. Neither period would count against the
driver’s 14-hour driving window.
• Allow one off-duty break of at least 30
minutes, but not more than three hours, that
would pause a truck driver’s 14-hour driving
window, provided the driver takes 10 consecutive
hours off-duty at the end of the work shift.
• Modify the adverse-driving-conditions
exception by extending the maximum window
during which driving is permitted by two
hours.
• Change the short-haul exception available
to certain commercial drivers by lengthening
the drivers’ maximum on-duty period from 12
to 14 hours and extending the distance limit
within which the driver may operate from 100
air miles to 150 air miles.
The agency said in the NPRM that its proposal
was crafted to improve safety on the nation’s
highways, noting that the proposed rule
would not increase driving time and would
continue to prevent CMV operators from
driving for more than eight consecutive hours
without at least a 30-minute change in duty
status.
One proposed change to the Hours of Service rule would allow drivers to
split their required 10 hours off-duty time into two periods. (iStock Photo)

Bridgestone unveils concept of air-free,
commercial-truck tire
The Bridgestone air-free, commercial-truck
tire concept, designed to be used in highspeed,
long-haul applications, leverages a
proprietary design where tire tread is placed
on a unique structure of high-strength,
flexible spokes. (Courtesy: Bridgestone)
Bridgestone recently showcased its advanced
air-free commercial-truck tire concept
for the heavy-duty trucking market
at the 2020 Technology & Maintenance
Council Annual Meeting and Transportation
Technology Exhibition. This is the first public
showcase of the concept to commercial
fleet customers.
The Bridgestone air-free, commercialtruck
tire concept, designed to be used in
high-speed, long-haul applications, leverages
a proprietary design where tire tread
is placed on a unique structure of highstrength,
flexible spokes. This eliminates
the need for a tire to be filled and maintained
with air.
“Commercial fleets are increasingly
looking for ways to maximize uptime and
reduce emergency roadside
events,” said Jon Kimpel, executive
director of new mobility
solution engineering for
Bridgestone Americas Inc.
“As mobility advances, we
see these sophisticated fleets
turning to technology solutions
and innovative products
as a way to improve operations
and drive profitability for their
fleets,” he said. “When tires
don’t need to be filled with
air, this essentially erases the
downtime associated with a flat
tire, improving safety and making
mobility more efficient.”
The initial design of the
Bridgestone advanced air-free
commercial-truck tire concept
is intended for the trailer position.
Reported data from tire
manufacturers shows trailer
tires account for approximately
20% of truck-tire purchases.
Furthermore, research indicates
40% of all tire failures occur in
the trailer position.
The company’s advanced
air-free commercial truck-tire
concept is also engineered
HUNDREDS OF JOBS www.TheTrucker.com/jobs INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR 2020 21

for enhanced sustainability. The air-free
commercial-tire solution is designed to be
retreadable. Retreads can help reduce natural-resource
consumption by replacing only
the tire tread rather than the entire tread and
casing combination.
“This offering has the power to reduce
downtime, maintenance and emergency
roadside service calls,” said Kimpel. “Combine
that with a high retread rate, and our
advanced air-free tire concept has potential
to substantially lower the overall total cost
of tire ownership for fleets.”
The advanced air-free commercial-truck
tire concept is part of a larger Bridgestone
air-free portfolio, which includes solutions
for personal mobility such as bicycles and
small electric vehicles. While the commercial-truck
tire concept is focused first on the
trailer position, it is intended to be scalable
to other commercial-trucking wheel positions
and applications.
Volvo Trucks’ driver-display activation
offers remote programming services
Volvo Trucks’ remote programming services
allow drivers and decision-makers to
update parameters and software that enhance
the performance of a truck’s engine, transmission
and aftertreatment. With the new driverdisplay
activation, when parameters or software
updates are available, an icon will flash
on the instrument cluster screen. At the next
planned stop, the driver can activate the update
via the truck’s instrument cluster and be
back on the road again within minutes.
“With the introduction of Volvo Trucks’
new driver-display activation, the process
time for software and parameter updates has
been improved by an average of 50%,” said
Ash Makki, Volvo Trucks North America
product marketing manager. “Now, from customer
initiation to completion, an update can
be done in less time than a driver typically
takes for a break or fill up.”
This new service means that instead of
scheduling an appointment to complete uploads,
drivers can completely upgrade the software
and parameters on their own, from anywhere,
without the need for personal assistance
from a Volvo Action Services team member.
However, agent assistance will still be
available through Volvo Trucks’ Uptime Center
in Greensboro, North Carolina.
“We still have agents who follow the
success of each update,” Makki said. “We
believe in having real people behind our
technology 24/7.”
Software updates are critical to maximize
vehicle performance and uptime.
“There’s a direct connection between
keeping a truck updated with the latest software
and reducing fault codes, in addition to
the truck running more efficiently, improving
the environmental footprint and reducing
operational costs,” said Conal Deedy, Volvo
Trucks North America director of commercial
telematics solutions.
In addition to system updates, the new driver-display
activation allows drivers and fleets to
change parameters on the truck to alter the vehicle’s
performance. Parameters for various applications
can be customized and packaged in kits
that can set maximum road speed, cruise-speed
limit, shift patterns, idle shutdown time, etc.
This ensures the truck is optimally configured
for the environment in which it is operating.
For instance, a driver or fleet owner with
trucks that regularly travel into Ontario,
22 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR 2020 HUNDREDS OF JOBS www.TheTrucker.com/jobs

PRODUCT
PROFILE
Canada, might want to reconfigure speed settings
when leaving the U.S. and reset those
parameters when the truck crosses back over
the border. And for fleets, all trucks can now
be batch-updated at one time using the driver
display activation without having to contact
the Volvo Trucks’ Uptime Center for each
truck in the fleet affected by the update.
The new driver display activation will
use a factory-installed telematics gateway,
leveraging existing Volvo Trucks technology.
No extra hardware is required. Every
new Volvo-powered truck will have driver
display activation available free of charge
for the first two years, bundled with Volvo
Trucks’ Remote Diagnostics services.
The new Volvo Trucks North America driver-display activation allows
drivers to update parameters and software without an appointment and
at their leisure in less time than a typical break or fill up. (Courtesy: Volvo
