TranSim IV Driver Simulator - Training Drivers with 21st Century Technology

Siemens Transportation Group Inc. is leading the way in driver training technology with its use of the $150,000 TranSim IV Driver Simulator.

With 29 possible programmable scenarios in four databases, drivers will be effectively trained in fuel efficiency, shifting competencies and accident avoidance, which includes weather changes, different road structures and vehicle failures.

Simulator Features:

By using the simulators four databases - Suburban, Rural, Mountain Pass and Freeway - drivers will be effectively introduced to the wide-ranging landscapes they may encounter as they travel the nation's thousands of kilometres.

In addition, drivers can learn to correct any errors they may make during the simulated exercise; thanks to the simulator's playback capability. Not only can drivers take another look at what their vehicle did during the exercise from a variety of vantage points, they can also examine what they were doing themselves.

The simulator's built-in camera allows drivers to consider what they could have done differently in any given scenario, whether that means more effective scanning of the field of vision, or the way they operate the vehicle.

The simulator's use will be a valuable asset to the Siemens Transportation Group's current and changing curricula, and will allow drivers to learn how to drive for fuel economy and public safety. Siemens Transportation Group - innovators in Saskatchewan's trucking industry.

The Siemens Transportation Group will continue to enhance its driver training program and lead the way for training programs in Western Canada.

World's Largest Truck Convoy

On September 15, 2007, the World's Largest Truck Convoy was held to raise funds for the Special Olympics. Convoys were held in various provinces and states simultaneously, with Saskatchewan running from Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon to Ipsco Place in Regina, where the National Truck Driver Championships were being staged.

In each province and state, the driver(s) and truck that raised the most funds for Special Olympics was awarded the prestigious position of lead truck. The lead truck takes up the first position in the convoy and follows the police escort from the origin to the destination.

The Saskatchewan convoy's lead truck position was held by Ed and Lori Wright driving unit 619 of Kindersley Transport Ltd.

Thank you to all who were involved.

45 Year Anniversary

Kindersley Transport Ltd. celebrates its 45th anniversary in 2007. During this year, we are reminded how fortunate we are for the contributions of our staff and customers. On behalf of the Siemens family and the Siemens Transportation Group, we would especially like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers for their association with our companies over the years.

Kindersley Transport Ltd. is Up to Date and Compatible with the New U.S. and Canadian Customs Programs.

Shipping across the border has become increasingly complicated in recent years. Both the U.S. and Canadian customs agencies have implemented new programs focusing on higher levels of security regarding all aspects of international shipping. Participation in these new programs requires highway carriers with international operations to implement and monitor new security procedures.  These new changes have come at a considerable cost but are a necessary step to continue to provide the safest means of transborder shipping.  

Kindersley Transport Ltd. has been approved to participate in the following U.S. and Canadian Customs programs:

Customs - Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT)

Kindersley Transport starts new scheduled service times from Ontario to Western Canada.

To give shippers the flexibility of service times and price Kindersley Transport has introduced two tiered service and price levels with the introduction of Expedited and Regular service transit times into Western Canada from Ontario.

With the introduction of these new services shippers can now chose the reliability of defined transit schedules as well as control their costs according to their service needs.
