Container truck crushes man to death in Lagos

Published 7 June, 2013

According to a report by Punch, a heavy loaded 40-foot container fell on a government meat van yesterday June 6th, crushing a passerby and wounding several others. The sad event took place at Ikeja Along Bus Stop on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway in Lagos. Eyewitnesses said the truck had swerved off the road to avoid colliding with some policemen, who were chasing a motorcycle rider, before the incident occurred around 9am. The victim, identified as Samuel Ogunnaike, was an employee of a popular phone dealer in Computer Village, Ikeja, and was on his way to the office when he met his death. Any hope that he could survive the accident was dashed after he was trapped for about four hours before his body was retrieved from the wreckage. (Punch)

Freight Forwarding News: Benefits of Belonging to a Global Network

Published 20 May, 2013

Mercator Cargo is a founding member of the global freight forwarding network Marco Polo Line1 (MPL). What does this mean for you, the potential (or existing) customer?

Marco Polo Line was founded with the intention to give independent freight forwarders (like Mercator Cargo) advantages that the bigger freight forwarders have traditionally enjoyed over the independent forwarders.

The first, and biggest impact that Mercator finds invaluable on a daily basis (both for our customers, and our operations in the office) is the personal contacts that we now have globally. Marco Polo Line holds annual conferences, where members can meet face-to-face and build working relationships. Mercator Cargo takes full advantage of these conferences, sending at least two members of the freight forwarding team. These personal contacts allow Mercator to arrange shipments seamlessly, using valuable local knowledge, and offer to-door shipments in almost any country in the world (thanks to our global partners).

The other advantage is that members are vetted , tried and tested (you cannot join MPL by just filling a form in). Membership is monitored, so if there are problems, these can be raised and eradicated. This means that our partner offices are trustworthy and reliable to handle your shipments, where ever they are in the world.

These are just a few examples of the benefits of choosing Mercator as your freight forwarder.

Contact us today to discuss how we can help you with your freight forwarding needs Tel. 02392 756 575. Email: sales@mercatorcargo.co.uk.2

NASCAR driver arrested, charged with stealing competitor's hauler

NASCAR driver arrested, charged with stealing competitor's hauler Windshield trailer sheila rae rice nc arrest sheila saturday salisbury safety owner function driver deputies NASCAR driver arrested, charged with stealing competitor’s hauler – Photo posted in BX SportsCenter | Sign in and leave a comment below!” />

SALISBURY, N.C. — A NASCAR owner-driver was booked Wednesday on charges he stole a former teammate-turned-competitor’s hauler.

Mike Harmon, of Mike Harmon Racing, was arrested in Cleveland County on felony larceny and breaking and entering charges. Sheila Rae Rice was also arrested on the same charges.

Both posted a $10,000 bond.

Rowan County deputies said Harmon stole a 2004 Ultra hauler from Jennifer Jo Cobb Racing Saturday morning. The Mooresville race shop sent NBC Charlotte surveillance video of the hauler driving off the lot.

The hauler was valued at more than $250,000. According to driver/owner Jennifer Jo Cobb, the team’s equipment was also taken.

“At least $50,000 worth of driving gear,” explained Cobb. “So now I have to borrow helmets, harness devices, find old uniforms that they can wear and hope that they haven’t gone out of certification because there are safety ratings on everything.”

Cobb added that teams had donated enough to ensure JJCR would be able to participate in this weekend s races in Charlotte.

After bonding out of jail, Harmon defended himself online, tweeting, I want it known that I have never stolen so much as a piece of bubble gum in my life. I did not take JJC hauler, there is no video of me anywhere near her shop. Today she was the windshield & I was the bug, but when we get in FEDERAL court in a couple wks there’s a boulder coming.

Harmon is a former team manager of JJC Racing.

Clarke's First-Quarter Profit Declines; Trucking Unit Improves – TTNews

Published 15 May, 2013

Canadian holding company Clarke Inc. said its first-quarter profit fell from a year ago, but its trucking segment improved.

Net income fell to C$3.1 million from C$3.7 million a year ago, while revenue slipped to C$57.9 million from C$61.1 million.

Its freight transportation segment s earning before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization almost doubled to C$1.7 million on higher margin revenue, the turnaround of the refrigeration transportation business, lower operating costs and a decrease in accidents and claims, Clarke said.

Halifax, Nova Scotia-based Clarke, which operates in truckload and less-than-truckload sectors via its Clarke Transport and Clarke Road Transport units, also has a home-heating segment.

05/07/2013: Trucking company to pay $83,500 for gasoline spill in …

Published 7 May, 2013

Release Date: 05/07/2013Contact Information: Darcy O Connor, EPA, 303-312-6392, oconnor.darcy@epa.gov Matthew Allen, EPA, 303-312-6085, allen.matthew@epa.gov

Penalty marks the final chapter for EPA cleanup action near Flathead Lake from hauling accident(Denver, Colo., May 7, 2013) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today that Keller Transportation, Inc. (Keller) has agreed to pay penalties totaling $83,500 to settle Clean Water Act claims related to a 2008 tanker truck spill approximately 500 feet from the shores of Flathead Lake and within the exterior boundaries of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) of the Flathead Nation. The tanker spill resulted in more than 6,300 gallons of gasoline entering springs along Flathead Lake, impacting groundwater as well as the lake. The proposed settlement addresses violations of the Oil Pollution Act, which prohibits the discharge of oil to waters of the U.S.

Truck accidents can have a significant impact on the environment and in this case caused a threat to public health, said Mike Gaydosh, EPA enforcement director in Denver. This penalty serves as a strong reminder that every effort must be taken to avoid accidents and spills when hauling hazardous materials. EPA will take necessary steps to protect the public.

The tanker truck accident occurred on April 2, 2008 and was determined to have been caused due to excessive speed around a curve on Montana Highway 35 in Lake County, Montana, resulting in the second tanker trailer striking a rock embankment causing the trailer to rupture. Gasoline from the tanker discharged onto the embankment directly up gradient from Flathead Lake, impacting the seeps, springs, and adjoining shorelines of the Flathead Lake. Fumes from the spill resulted in the evacuation of five homes along the lake for nearly a year.

EPA, in coordination with CSKT, has been working with Keller on the clean up at the site since April 2008. In May 2008 and amended September 2008, EPA issued an administrative order to Keller for the remediation activities that were necessary at the site. Remediation activities have included installation of air abatement systems in the affected homes, ongoing air monitoring, removal and appropriate disposal of contaminated soil, and installation of a groundwater collection trench and permanent water treatment system to treat the contaminated groundwater.

Annual air monitoring has indicated that the abatement systems are working properly as there have been no identified indoor air violations in the affected homes in the past three years. Groundwater sampling shows that the area of contamination is decreasing, but there are still high levels of contamination in the main spill pathway. Keller will continue to operate the water treatment system under the requirements of EPA s administrative order until such time as EPA determines that appropriate clean up levels have been met. Keller has complied with all the cleanup requests that have been required by EPA.

FIRST ON 3: 18-wheeler nearly hits man, continues driving | WWAY …

Published 2 April, 2013

Submitted by Allyson Lorick1 on Tue, 04/02/2013 – 10:21am.READ MORE:

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Wilmington police are looking for the driver of an 18-wheeler who ran his truck through power lines at an auto shop, nearly hitting the shop’s owner, and then continued driving.

It happened just after 8 a.m. at 2002 Princes Place Drive, near 23rd Street in Wilmington.

According to the owner of Atlantic Auto Service, Inc., the 18-wheeler was attempting to make a U-turn in the lot when he realized the truck was going to hit the low power lines there.

The owner says he ran after the tractor trailer to prevent him from hitting them, but the driver kept going, ripping the lines off the side of his building, and ultimately splitting the lines.

That’s when the owner says he had to jump out of the way of the truck, so he wouldn’t get hit.

Wilmington police and fire crews responded to the scene, and officers pursued the truck driver, who a bystander says kept going down Princess Place Dr., taking a left turn onto 23rd Street.

No word on whether police have located the driver, but stay with WWAY for the latest information as it becomes available.

RED LIGHT CAMERAS: Under proposed bill, car owners must … – blog

Published 27 March, 2013

Posted on | March 26, 2013 | Comments

If you ve followed the local or statewide debate over red light cameras, you may know that under current law, you can t be forced to pay the ticket if someone else driving your car runs a red light. A bill working its way through Sacramento would change that.

RED LIGHT CAMERAS: Under proposed bill, car owners must ... blog trailer tools opinion music lime freight best practice family ethics entertainment draft college cameras camera automotive

The red light camera at Mission Inn Avenue and Lime Street was removed in November. A state bill would make significant changes to how camera programs like Riverside s are administered.

The bill, titled AB 6661 (no Satan jokes please), would make significant changes to how red light camera programs like Riverside s are administered, who can be held responsible for tickets and how the tickets are categorized as a legal violation.

Currently, if someone gets a red light camera ticket and photos from the camera show the driver is not the car s registered owner, the owner may get a notice asking who is driving so the ticket can be directed to them (a so-called snitch ticket ). But if officials can t prove who was driving the car when the camera went off, they can t force the owner to respond.

(As a Riverside employee who reviews tickets from the city s camera program said in 20112, if you weren t the one driving, You re under no obligation to help us. )

Under AB 666, if someone driving your car (spouse, child, friend, etc.) gets a ticket and you don t turn them in, you have to pay the fine. Or as it says on the draft notice included in the bill text (page 13 at this link3), you will be liable for paying the automated violation penalty unless you identify the driver.

The bill would change how red light citations are handled from a criminal proceeding (like many other moving violations) to a civil one, and it would lower the cost of citations, though it s not exactly clear by how much.

The bill also would set up an administrative system that local jurisdictions with camera programs again, like Riverside would use to address citations. Currently, those who get red light camera tickets are given a court date.

A few other provisions of the bill were unclear to me on a first reading. I left a message Tuesday for the press contact at the office of Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski4, who sponsored the bill, so I ll write an update when I hear back.

The bill language was just amended last week, and support and opposition already have emerged. The California branch of the Traffic Safety Coalition5 (a group that gets most of its funding6 from camera company Redflex) has a form letter people can sign in favor of the bill. Anti-camera activist Jay Beeber has posted criticism of what he called the devil s bill on the website of his group, Safer Streets LA7.

The bill puts an interesting wrinkle in the issue for Riverside residents. The City Council recently opted not to let voters decide8 whether to keep the city s red light camera program, but with four council seats on the June ballot, you can bet some voters will want to know where candidates stand, since the city s contract with Redflex lasts until 2016.

I ll be reporting more on this as I get information and calls back, but I ll end for now with an interesting statistic. Riverside doesn t have data on how many of its tickets get paid because that s handled by the courts, but officials can find out from Redflex how many tickets were actually enforceable because the car s owner was also the driver, and how many weren t.

In 2011, Riverside issued 26,856 citations. Of that total, 46.5 percent were snitch tickets.
