Transport refrigeration unit (TRU) fleets and refrigerated distribution centers that are interested in funding for zero emission TRs or DC infrastructure may be interested in a workshop webcast that is scheduled for Monday, April 27, 2015, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. to learn about CARB’s proposed Prop 1B funding guidelines update. Zero emission TRs are all-electric TRs, cryogenic TRs, or fuel cell-powered TRs that must be used with DC infrastructure. DC infrastructure includes electric power plugs that are compatible with (and would be used with) all-electric TRs, hybridelectric TRUs, or TRUs equipped with electric standby. Infrastructure also includes cryogenic refrigeration fueling equipment leases that would be used with cryogenic TRs.
PROPOSED FUNDING AMOUNTS
• Replace 5 existing TRUs with 5 zero emission TRs – $200,000 or 80% cost cap
• Install 10 electric power plugs at DC – $30,000 or 50% cost cap
• Lease cryogenic fueling infrastructure – $60,00 or 50% cost cap
The workshop notice and the draft concept paper for the Proposition 1B: Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program Update to Program Guidelines is available at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/bonds/gmbond/gmbond.htm

The drop yard service is part of Thermo King’s effort to help fleets and drivers manage hours of service regulations and to help fleets retain drivers by offering convenient and safe parking solutions. The tool also provides additional information, ranging from hours of operation to type of security. A rested driver is a happier driver, and the more alternatives a fleet can offer drivers, the greater the positive impact on driver retention. According to the CSCMP’s “State of Logistics” report, the current driver shortage of 30,000 is expected to climb to 300,000 by 2020. Retention is a major financial challenge for fleets, and the cost of replacing a driver averages $8,000. Thermo King is committed to offering customers real solutions to attract and retain quality drivers.
