MOTOR CARRIER ENFORCEMENT SAFETY CORNER

Heavy Loads Can Create Heavy Problems

In the aggregate industry, moving material efficiently is critical. Every load counts, especially as the end of the season approaches. There can be a temptation to squeeze in “just a little extra” to save a trip. The problem is that overweight vehicles create risks that affect far more than productivity.

Weight limits exist for a reason. Roads, bridges, tires, suspensions, frames, axles, and brakes are all engineered to operate within specific limits. When those limits are exceeded, wear and tear increases dramatically.

The Mechanical Cost of Overweight Loads

Many drivers have seen it firsthand. An overweight truck is harder to stop. Brakes run hotter. Tires flex more and generate additional heat. Suspension components take extra punishment. Wheel bearings, springs, shocks, frames, and drivetrain parts all experience increased stress.

Over time, that extra weight can lead to:

• Premature tire wear
• Brake failures
• Suspension damage
• Broken springs
• Wheel-end failures
• Frame cracking
• Increased fuel consumption

The maintenance costs add up quickly. What may seem like a few extra tonnes on one trip can eventually result in thousands of dollars in repairs.

The Financial Cost Nobody Wants

Mechanical damage is only part of the equation. Overweight violations can result in significant fines.

That means:

• Lost productivity
• Missed delivery times
• Customer frustration
• Additional equipment costs
• Enforcement action

Under Manitoba’s Highway Traffic Act, overweight fines are calculated based on how much weight exceeds the legal limit. The current fine is $13.20 for every 50 kilograms, or portion thereof, over the allowable weight.

To put that into perspective:

• 500 kg overweight = approximately $132
• 1,000 kg overweight = approximately $264
• 2,000 kg overweight = approximately $528
• 5,000 kg overweight = approximately $1,320
• 10,000 kg overweight = approximately $2,640

And that’s just the ticket.

If the load has to be adjusted before continuing, the costs continue to climb. A truck sitting on the side of the road isn’t making money. Material may need to be offloaded, another truck may have to be dispatched, and delivery schedules can quickly fall apart.

For owner-operators and carriers alike, profit margins can disappear in a hurry when overweight fines, downtime, excess fuel consumption, and equipment repairs all get added to the bill.

The reality is simple. Making an extra trip is usually much cheaper than paying a significant overweight fine, replacing damaged components, or dealing with the consequences of a collision involving an overloaded vehicle.

Professional Drivers Think Long Term

The most successful drivers understand that every decision has consequences. Keeping your vehicle within legal weight limits helps protect your equipment, your livelihood, and the roads we all depend on.

Stay safe out there, Paul

A Message from the City of Winnipeg – Streets Maintenance

Greetings to the HEAT membership,

For those I have not yet had the opportunity to meet, my name is Mike Smoljanovic, and I recently stepped into the role of Manager of Streets Maintenance with the City of Winnipeg.

I have worked for the City for more than 21 years, beginning in frontline operations and progressing through a variety of operational, technical and leadership roles. Most recently, I served as the Supervisor of Work Management and Data Science for Streets Maintenance.

I also have an educational background in computer programming and graphic design. Over the past several years, much of my work has focused on data science, artificial intelligence, automation, geospatial analysis and developing better tools for managing and communicating our operations.

That combination of frontline experience and technical knowledge has shaped how I approach the work. I understand the realities of delivering services in the field, but I also see the value of using technology and data to improve how we plan, coordinate, measure and communicate what we accomplish. Away from the office, my family is the most important part of my life. I am married with three children, and together they keep life busy and crazy.

I also spent many years touring as a musician and continue to perform, with much of that work now focused on supporting charitable events and community causes.

I recently had the opportunity to meet with members of HEAT’s Board and Executive. It was an open and productive discussion about our operations, the challenges facing contractors and how we can work together more effectively.

One of my priorities in this role is improving communication, both within the City and with the contractors who support our operations. Contractors need clear expectations and timely information to properly plan their staffing, equipment and other commitments. The City also needs honest feedback about what is working, what is creating challenges and where our processes can be improved.

There is also significant value in better communicating our collective work to the public. Residents see equipment operating in their neighbourhoods, but they do not always see the planning, coordination and scale of the effort behind it. Better information allows us to explain what work is underway, why it is being prioritized and what has been accomplished with the resources available.

It also provides an opportunity to better recognize the contributions of our employees and contractors. The public should understand the important role HEAT members play in supporting City operations and delivering essential services across Winnipeg.

The contractor community provides essential capacity, equipment and experience to the City. This is particularly evident during major winter operations, when a significant amount of equipment and personnel must be mobilized in a short period of time. The work performed by HEAT members is an important part of keeping Winnipeg moving.

Data is a valuable tool, but it does not replace the knowledge and practical experience of the people performing the work. The strongest decisions are made when reliable information is combined with operational experience, strong relationships and open communication.

My goal is to build a relationship where concerns can be raised early, expectations are understood and we can have direct and productive conversations, even when we may not agree on every issue.

Our recent meeting was a positive first step. I look forward to continuing the conversation with HEAT and its membership, learning more about the issues affecting contractors and providing regular updates on matters relevant to our work together.

Thank you for the important role you play in supporting Streets Maintenance and helping keep Winnipeg moving throughout the year.

Mike Smoljanovic

Interim Manager of Streets MaintenanceCity of Winnipeg

Motor Carrier Enforcement Safety Corner

Engine Retarder Brakes: Pros and Cons

If you’ve been behind the wheel of a heavy truck for any length of time, you’ve relied on an engine retarder brake. Whether you’re hauling aggregate, equipment, or other heavy loads, it’s one of the most valuable tools on the truck.

Unfortunately, when most people hear about engine retarders, the conversation usually starts with complaints about noise. As drivers, you know they’re designed for a much more important purpose: helping control heavy vehicles safely while reducing wear on service brakes.

A Tool for Doing the Job Right

A loaded truck carries a tremendous amount of weight. When you’re coming down a hill, that weight wants to keep moving. Without an engine retarder, your service brakes have to do all the work. Using a retarder properly helps control speed, reduces brake heat, and lowers the risk of brake fade.

Brake components are expensive, and every use shortens their lifespan. When conditions allow, using the retarder can significantly reduce wear on brakes, lowering maintenance costs and keeping equipment on the road longer. For drivers, that means less downtime and more time getting the job done.

But let’s be honest. Some engine retarders can be loud. Most drivers understand why municipalities post “No Engine Brake” signs in residential areas. Residents don’t want to hear repeated engine brake noise, especially during the evening or overnight hours.

At the same time, many people don’t understand why drivers use them. That can create tension between trucking operations and the communities we work in. Good relationships with those communities matter to your industry.

Safety Comes First

While being considerate is important, safety must always come first. If an engine retarder is needed to safely control a vehicle, drivers should use it. No one should compromise safety simply to avoid making noise.

However the key is good judgment. Consider the location, time of day, traffic, and road conditions. If another safe option exists, use it. If the retarder is needed, use it professionally. It is important to realize that if it’s not used appropriately there are potential fines that can be used to address it.

Every truck on the road represents your industry. The actions of one driver can influence how the public views all truck drivers. Most people won’t understand the challenges of moving a heavy load safely, but they will remember professionalism, courtesy, and safe driving practices.

The Bottom Line

Engine retarder brakes are an important safety tool. They help control speed, reduce brake wear, lower maintenance costs, and improve safety for everyone on the road. Like any tool, they need to be used with good judgment. Used properly, they demonstrate the skill, professionalism, and experience that define your industry.

And that’s something worth making a little noise about.

Stay safe out there,

Paul

Insights from Councillor Janice Lukes

I want to extend my sincere thanks to all HEAT members for the tremendous work you do and the important service you provide to the City of Winnipeg.

As many of you may know, there will be significant changes at City Council over the next four years, with five Councillors, including myself, retiring from public service.

When I was first elected, I was not fully aware of the work performed by HEAT. Throughout my time on Council, I have greatly valued the opportunity to speak with HEAT members, attend your conferences, and learn firsthand about the challenges and realities facing your industry. Your willingness to share your experience and expertise helped me better understand the issues before us and, in many cases, helped inform decisions and to move important changes forward.

The contribution of HEAT members to Winnipeg cannot be overstated. Every day, your staff, equipment and expertise help keep our city moving, safe, and functioning—around the clock and throughout the year. From snow and ice operations and road maintenance to major infrastructure work and emergency response, the work you do is an essential part of delivering the services Winnipeg residents rely on.

As a new Council takes shape, I would strongly encourage HEAT to continue building those relationships and sharing your knowledge with elected officials and senior administration. In particular, I believe an educational session for the incoming Public Works Committee would be extremely valuable. Giving new Councillors the opportunity to better understand your operations, the challenges you face, and the role your industry plays in Winnipeg would help set the foundation for productive relationships over the next four years.

Thank you again for the conversations, the education, and the work you do every day for our city. It has been a pleasure working with you, and I wish HEAT and all of its members continued success as you help move Winnipeg forward.

Kind Regards,

Councillor Janice Lukes

STAKEHOLDER RELATIONS REPORT AUGUST 2026

Greetings to the Membership,

I am sure everyone has been fully engaged this summer with the hot, humid weather we have experienced. It has certainly been quite the HEAT wave (pun intended).

What a tremendous turnout we had at the HEAT Classic Golf Tournament at Rossmere Golf & Country Club in early July. On behalf of our Association, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the participants, our generous sponsors, and the many members of our staff and executive who worked so hard to make this event another outstanding success. The tournament continues to establish itself as one of the premier golf events of the year, and that is a direct reflection of the commitment and support of everyone involved. Thank you!

In other news, there have been some changes within the City of Winnipeg department that our Association works with most frequently. I would like to let everyone know that Michael Cantor has accepted a new position with the City, effective July 27, moving into Fleet Management. We congratulate Michael on his new role and sincerely thank him for the collaborative relationship he fostered with HEAT over the years. His professionalism and willingness to work with our Association have been greatly appreciated.

We are also pleased to welcome Mike Smoljanovic as the new Manager of Streets Maintenance. Mike has built a strong working relationship with HEAT over many years and brings extensive operational knowledge of both the City’s requirements and the capabilities of our membership. We look forward to continuing to strengthen our partnership and working together to ensure the delivery of best-value services and operational excellence for the citizens of Winnipeg.

Another important update involves the City’s upcoming winter equipment tender. We have been advised that the city is hoping to release the winter tender during the first week of August. Rather than using the previous W1 category for miscellaneous equipment, the city intends to utilize HEAT’s Specialty Equipment Listing to source equipment requiring competitive pricing. This represents another positive step in recognizing the value of our Association as a trusted resource. We will be reviewing and updating the Specialty Equipment Listing and encourage all members to ensure their information is current. We are open to adding additional categories as necessary. Thank you to everyone who has already provided input.

There is also a great deal happening on the municipal political front as Winnipeg prepares for the civic election on October 28, 2026. We expect to see significant changes around the Council table, with Councillors Janice Lukes, Brian Mayes, Marcus Chambers, John Orlikow, and Sherry Rollins having announced they will not be seeking re-election. As new members of Council are elected, it will be more important than ever for HEAT to establish strong working relationships with our city’s decision-makers.

The work performed by our members cannot be overstated. Every day, your equipment, operators, and workforce help keep Winnipeg operating safely and efficiently—24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Whether supporting snow and ice control, road maintenance, infrastructure projects, or emergency response, our industry plays a vital role in maintaining essential municipal services. As we have always done, this association will continue to advocate on behalf of our members and ensure that our expertise, operational experience, and industry knowledge are clearly communicated to the Mayor, City Council, and senior administration.

Finally, if you have not already registered, I encourage you to sign up for our Annual Fall 9-Hole Golf Tournament, Mardi Gras on the Green, at Bel Acres Golf & Country Club. It is always a fantastic afternoon of golf, networking, and fellowship. The 9-hole format makes for an enjoyable and efficient event, while our sponsors once again have some excellent prizes and interactive sponsor holes planned throughout the course. We hope to see you there.

Thank you for your continued support of HEAT. Have a safe and successful remainder of the summer, and we look forward to seeing many of you at our upcoming events.

Regards,

Bruce Henley, Stakeholder Relations Manager
