More than 2 million passwords for some of the most popular spots on the Internet — including Facebook, Twitter and Google — are now a matter of public record, according to a fresh report from SpiderLabs, a research arm from security firm Trustwave. 

SpiderLabs says it uncovered the bounty of potentially valuable (and often ridiculously simple) log-ins during its latest Internet sweep for the Pony botnet controller, a malware-spreading set of programs which the researchers say they're increasingly encountering online. This means the passwords were not leaked by Facebook and the like, but from thousands of infected computers that collected the data when users logged onto their accounts.  

Whether or not the passwords are current or out-dated is unknown, but the attack appears to be "fairly global," SpiderLabs reports. "At least some of the victims are scattered all over the world." What's more, many of the passwords were fairly simple, with that old chestnut "123456" topping the list as the password for 15,820 accounts. ("12346789" came in at number two with 4,875 instances.) This could mean extra bad things the 30 to 40 percent of Internet users who use the same password on multiple accounts — say Facebook ... and their bank account. 

"Facebook takes people’s information security extremely seriously and we work hard to protect it," a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement. "While details of this case are not yet clear, it appears that people’s computers may have been attacked by hackers using malware to scrape information directly from their Web browsers."

Facebook's recommendation is to engage the site's two-factor authentication, which requires a passcode from your phone as well as your standard password. Twitter, Yahoo, Google and others also have an option like this, so it helps to look into the settings of all of your major Internet services.

A new study (PDF) examining the economics of Western Canada’s oil sands finds that even if the Keystone XL pipeline gets built, it’s unlikely that extracting the heavy, tar-like oil around Alberta will remain commercially viable over the next decade.

The report, written by two former Deutsche Bank (DB) analysts and titled Keystone XL Pipeline: A Potential Mirage for Oil-Sands Investors, calculates that producers in Western Canada will need to fetch at least $65 a barrel to attract new investments and ensure that current projects remain profitable. During the past month a barrel of Western Canadian Select (WCS), the main benchmark used to price Canada’s heavy oil, has averaged just $58.

A few forces are at play. Canada’s heavy crude is already among the most expensive to produce in the world. But it’s also stuck. While that’s partly a function of the crude’s physical attributes (it’s heavy and thick and hard to move), the biggest problem is that there are simply not enough pipelines to transport it thousands of miles out of Western Canada and down to U.S. refiners. As a result, much of the oil is finding its way out of Alberta on trains and even trucks, which can be two or three times more expensive than sticking it into a pipeline. Those extra transportation costs push down the price at the well.

While the Keystone XL would help raise prices, it’s no panacea. The project plans to move about 800,000 barrels a day from Western Canada down to the U.S. Gulf Coast, where the oil could command a higher price. A Keystone approval would certainly spur more investment in Western Canada and boost oil-sands production, but since there’s already so much pent-up demand to get oil out of Alberta, the 1,700-mile pipeline’s capacity would likely get maxed out, and things would quickly revert back to the situation we’re in right now: producers using expensive options such as trucking and railroads to move their crude.

Of course, without Keystone XL, the Western Canadian oil-sands industry seems doomed to a long struggle. Prices will remain low, and companies won’t have the incentive to spend money to build new projects. Unable to reach the Gulf Coast, heavy Canadian crude would continue to pool around the middle of the U.S., which would only further depress its price.

Although they’re vastly different types of crude, the price of WCS is roughly correlated to the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the benchmark that determines the price of light, sweet crude in the U.S. In the past three years, the U.S. shale boom has created a glut of oil stuck in the middle of the country, lowering the price of WTI significantly. While both Canadian and U.S. benchmarks have rallied over the past week, their prices are well below where they were just a few months ago. WTI is off 13 percent since September. Since July, WCS is off almost 30 percent and is currently trading at a $40 discount to WTI.

The owner-operator finalists are:

• Thomas Miller, leased to Prime Inc., based in Springfield, Mo. Miller lives in Bunker Hill, Ill.
• Bryan Smith, leased to Art Pape Transfer, based in Dubuque, Iowa. Smith lives in Asbury, Iowa.
• Terrance Smith, leased to SLH Transport, based in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Smith lives in Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada.

The company driver finalists are:

• Reuben Dupsky, Fremont Contract Carriers, based in Fremont, Neb. Dupsky lives in Fremont.
• Jack Fielding, Bison Transport, based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Fielding lives in McKellar, Ontario, Canada.
• Allan Raffay, Prime Inc. Raffay lives in Hawley, Pa.

“Overdrive always takes pride in highlighting the nation’s successful owner-operators and drivers,” says Brad Holthaus, vice president of sales for Trucking Media at Overdrive’s publisher, Randall-Reilly. “These finalists are clearly six of the best. I know whoever wins will serve the industry well as an example of safety, professionalism and service.”

The finalists were selected based on safety, efforts to enhance the trucking industry’s image, and contributions to their communities. Eligibility requirements included having driven one million consecutive, accident-free miles.

Prince Albert is threatening to ban dangerous goods from being transported through the city unless the province supplies a list of what is being carried by trucks.

Mayor Greg Dionne said he wants to make sure first responders have the proper equipment to deal with any incident that should arise. 

"It's a far out option, but it is an option that we have," Dionne said. "We don't want to use it, but at the same time we need to know what is coming through our community for the safety of our community."

He added that unlike Saskatoon and Regina, Prince Albert does not have a Circle Drive or Ring Road allowing trucks to go around the city. 

Mayor Dionne said he has been asking for a list for nine months without much response from the province, however since threatening to ban the trucks, the dialogue has picked up.

"I've heard from our local MLAs," Dionne said, laughing. "Of course, they don't like controversy."

"Unfortunately you sometimes have to use controversy to get the will, you know, to protect your people."

Dionne admitted banning dangerous goods would be a last resort, but said he believes the city has the authority to do so.

They're called traffic information units and they're powered by the sun.

The province is testing five of them on two highways as a way to send out snow-clearing equipment to sections most in need of snow removal.

"I think that's a good use of technology," Premier Greg Selinger said Wednesday after southern Manitoba saw its first major dump of snow. "It's a technology that can sense and get accurate information of what's going on (with) the roads and be able to deploy equipment to the highest-need areas."

Selinger said the long-term plan will see more cameras installed on highways that have the most traffic.

Selinger said the solar-powered cameras are being tested on sections of the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 75 to see if they're durable enough in Manitoba weather. On the Trans-Canada, cameras are located at Kirkella near the Saskatchewan boundary, Oakville between Portage la Prairie and Winnipeg and Deacons Corner east of Winnipeg at the Hwy. 207 intersection. On Hwy. 75, cameras are located at Ste. Agathe and Letellier. The cameras cost $10,000 each.

Seven more cameras are to be operational by March and a website launched to allow motorists to see driving conditions rather than reading a report from the Infrastructure and Transportation Department's road and traveller information web page. The new cameras will be installed south of Brandon, south of The Pas, north and south of Grand Rapids, near Austin, west of Russell and south of Ste Rose du Lac.

Selinger said the province will look at developing a mobile app as well.

"The bottom line is that we're using technology to let the public and the people who look after the highways know what the traffic conditions are in real time. If you take a certain route on a regular basis you'll get a better idea of what you're dealing with when you head out there."

The cameras will provide, in colour, regularly updated still images of highway conditions. Other provinces have had road condition camera systems for a number of years, including Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador. The system Manitoba is installing is based on Alberta's system.

There are already a half-dozen private road cameras to show drivers the conditions in Gimli, Steinbach and Sanford and three locations in Winnipeg. The still images the cameras provide can be seen on the CAA Manitoba website.

The province says the road condition camera system is not to be a form of remote traffic enforcement to capture speeders, but only show current road conditions.

Installation of the cameras come as the province's snow-removal crews started rolling out their equipment after Wednesday's snowfall. There are 317 pieces of equipment, including 10 new truck plows and six loaders to replace aging or smaller equipment.

The transportation editorial team at J. J. Keller often jokes that we’re a bunch of regulation nerds, or “reg nerds” for short. Need to know where to find a regulation? Just ask one of us reg nerds and we’ll quote it for you line and verse, as if we’re quoting some of our favorite movie lines. All joking aside, however, regulations are a very serious matter. Regulations are always changing and always evolving, and it can be difficult to keep track of what’s coming up or even what’s current. The good news for you is that this reg nerd has been keeping up on all of it. And lately there’s been a flurry of activity in Canada and the United States, so let’s get started.

 Across Canada

Changes to National Safety Code Standard 10, Cargo Securement, became effective in June. The standard now requires friction mats to be marked by the manufacturer with the maximum usable friction resistance, if the mat is to be considered part of a cargo-securement system. Other changes included the reimplementation of securement for transverse rows of metal coils loaded side-by-side and intermodal container-securement requirements.

In the majority of the Canadian jurisdictions, because they’ve adopted the most current version of the standard by reference, the standard is effective and in force. Regardless, most jurisdictions are observing educational enforcement periods until Jan 1, 2014. Only in Quebec are rules being enforced. Alberta, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland/Labrador need to make a regulatory change to adopt the new standard and are expected to do so by Jan. 1, 2014.

 Ontario

As of Oct. 1, 2013, new Ontario-based commercial vehicle operator registration (CVOR) applicants have an extra step to complete in the CVOR application process. New CVOR applicants must now pass a 30-question multiple-choice exam proving their awareness of Ontario’s commercial vehicle safety requirements. The MTO

has developed a great resource to help applicants learn the requirements, the Commercial Vehicle Operators’ Safety manual, and has posted it on their website. New applicants can review the manual and even complete a practice test on the website. 

The examination requirement must be completed within six months after the new CVOR applicant submits the CVOR application to the MTO. Once the applicant passes the test, the CVOR certificate will be issued and then the carrier may operate on Ontario roads.

 Quebec

In January, Quebec proposed significant updates to the Regulation respecting safety standards for road vehicles and asked for stakeholder feedback on the proposal. Part of this proposal included new pre-departure (pre-trip) inspection regulations, among many other changes. However, Quebec’s Societe de l’assurance automobile du Quebec (SAAQ) has delayed the adoption of the regulation, ­citing the need for further analysis of the proposed changes and potential follow-up on comments received. The SAAQ has indicated that the regulations will not be adopted in 2013 and will not be in force before fall 2014. There will be a bit of a wait ahead on this one.

 Saskatchewan

Speaking of pre-trip inspection regulations, Saskatchewan recently repealed The Security of Loads and Trip Inspection Regulations and replaced it with two separate regulations, The Security of Loads Regulations, 2013, and The Trip Inspection Regulations. Both regulations underwent updates to make them more consistent with the respective National Safety Code standards that cover both topics. Perhaps the most notable part of the trip inspection regulations is the change in applicability of the requirement to carry inspection schedules and complete a pre-trip inspection report. In the previous regulations, the definition of a “commercial vehicle” included vehicles or combinations with a registered gross weight that exceeded 5,000 kilograms, including buses. All commercial vehicles as defined in the regulation required inspection and drivers were expected to carry inspection schedules and complete a pre-trip inspection report.

In the new regulation, in the definition of a “commercial vehicle,” the weight threshold was increased to include only vehicles exceeding a gross vehicle or registered gross vehicle weight of 11,794 kilograms, and buses. Trucks, truck tractors, and trailers still require inspection; however, the requirement to carry inspection schedules and complete a pre-trip inspection report only applies to commercial vehicles as defined in the new regulation.

There’s a caveat, though. Carriers with vehicles plated in Saskatchewan and operating into other provinces must still ensure compliance with other Canadian jurisdictions’ pre-trip inspection regulations and/or National Safety Code Standard 13, Trip Inspections, which may be more stringent than Saskatchewan’s regulations. Case in point: Ontario.

Saskatchewan’s rules do make them more in line with Alberta, where drivers of vehicles at 11,794 kilograms registered gross weight or less are exempt from the requirement to carry and produce an inspection schedule and prepare, carry, and produce a pre-trip inspection report.

 British Columbia

British Columbia’s Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) Branch has recently adopted a formalized dispute-resolution process. The dispute resolution process enables motor carriers to challenge out-of -service (OOS) declarations and Notice and Orders (N&O) issued in the province. If a dispute is ultimately decided in a carrier’s favor, the CVSE will remove carrier profile points that were associated with the OOS (N&Os do not carry points). As far as we can tell, British Columbia is the only province to formalize this process for carriers.

 U.S. Updates

And finally, a few notes about a recent rulemaking in the United States for those of you that operate cross-border. The long-awaited Unified Registration System (URS) final rule was finally published by the FMCSA in August 2013. The URS will make significant changes to the method by which motor carriers obtain federal operating authority and USDOT numbers, but since these changes are a couple years off, you won’t notice much of a change to your immediate operations.

MONTREAL— Here’s a construction project that will be ready three years sooner than expected – the St. Lawrence Bridge. It will be ready to replace the Champlain Bridge in 2018 rather than 2021. 

 “Concrete actions to move the project ahead have already been taken,” said Denis Lebel, Minister of Infrastructure and of Economic Development Agency for the Quebec region. 

The proposed bridge will span the St. Lawrence River and connect the Island of Montreal to the South Shore.

The crossing is one of the busiest in Canada and vital to the regional and national economy, Lebel said.

About $20-billion crosses the Champlain Bridge in trade annually.

 “No effort will be spared to deliver this project on time and within budget, keeping travelers and goods moving safely and efficiently through this important trade and transportation corridor,” Lebel said.

And the Quebec Trucking Association (ACQ) is happy to hear it.

"In recent weeks, the carriers have expressed their concerns about the situation facing the Champlain Bridge. For us it is a crucial issue that requires our attention, and the announcement from Minister Denis Lebel is a token of recognition of the economic and strategic importance of this transport corridor for the whole country," said Marc Cadieux, the association’s CEO.

The Champlain Bridge remains under construction after authorities found a two-millimetre-wide crack in one of the bridge’s supporting girder.

MIRAMICHI, N.B. – Canada is home to some of the best truck drivers and here’s proof.

Terry Smith is a Trucker Buddy, a Shriner, an active member of his New Brunswick community and an owner-operator leased to Kingston, ON-based SLH Transport.

In 2006, this cheerful and very articulate long-haul veteran driver was named the Highway Star of the Year. 

And now, only a few miles shy of his 65th birthday, Smith has been named a finalist in a huge American competition called Driver of the Year, Owner-Operator Division. First prize? A brand new truck.

Meanwhile, Jack Fielding, of McKellar, ON., is a finalist in the Company Driver category of the prestigious competition.

Fielding has been a driver with Winnipeg-based Bison Transport for the past 13 years. He has over four million safe kilometers under his buckle, and was named to the 2011-2012 Ontario Road Knights team. Fielding is a finalist in the Company Driver of the Year Contest.

Bison Transport driver and Road Knight Jack Fielding of McKellar, Ontario.

The contests are part of a larger competition administered by the Virginia-based Truckload Carriers Association (TCA).

According to a statement from the TCA: “The annual Driver of the Year contests identify and honor the best men and women traveling the roads today. They drive safely, give to their communities, protect the environment, and enhance the image of trucking - in other words, they make us all proud to be a part of this great industry”

According to Smith’s wife Roxanne, when they heard the news, she and Terry were “over the moon. It’s an early Christmas and Santa just gave us the best gift ever!”

Karen Gutteridge has a love-hate relationship with Highway 407.

She loves that the tollway can get her reliably from her Burlington home to her office in Richmond Hill, but she knows she'll be faced with a whopping bill since her company moved from Mississauga this fall.

"I have to take four different highways – the QEW, the 427, 401 and 404 – to get to the office," said Gutteridge, adding she is always tuned to the latest traffic reporter, prepared to detour to the 407, if traffic begins to back up.

"I didn't take it the other morning, and it took an hour and 45 minutes. That's without an accident and no construction."

But she worries about the cost, because it's $21.48 one-way. "The whole time on I'm on the 407, I see another exit go by and all I can hear in my head is the cash register going off," Gutteridge said.

"The traffic in the GTA is a nightmare. It is unreal. I can't believe how many cars are on the road at 6 a.m," she said, but she consistently takes the tollway on the return trip because the congestion is even worse in the evening.

That's partly why the 407 – which first opened in 1997 – is steadily increasing its base of users, even though toll prices have also risen along with the highway's popularity.

The rates vary depending on time of day, zone and what type of vehicle. The average trip length is about 20 kilometres, with weekday rush hours between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. being the busiest periods.

For cars, minivans and sport utility vehicles, prices range from 19.35 cents a kilometre during off-peak times to as much as 27.20 cents a kilometre during the highest-demand time.

MONCTON, NB—GW Driver Training is planning on upgrading its services and facilities in order to address the truck driver shortage crisis in New Brunswick, and the first step to the initiative is a change of name, to CollègeTrans-Canada College.

"We will be modernizing and upgrading our facilities and services in order to meet the growing needs of New Brunswick's trucking industry," said Tony Reeder, president and CEO of Collège Trans-Canada College. "There are many opportunities for long-term, well-paid trucking jobs right here at home. We need to ramp up our efforts to ensure our very important trucking industry has the workforce it needs to meet the needs of the people and businesses it serves. There's no need to commute to Western Canada and leave your family for weeks or months at a time.”

By 2020, there may be as many as 24,700 unfilled truck driver positions across Canada if current trends are not reversed, according to the Conference Board of Canada.

The Atlantic Provinces Trucking Association (APTA) recently formed a Driver Shortage Blue Ribbon Task Force to address the driver shortage.

But jobs are out there and driving schools need to “do a better job recruiting students, training them and matching them with employers,” said Brian Baxter, co-chair of the University of New Brunswick's board of governors and chair to Trans-Canada College’s new advisory board, which will help guide Trans-Canada College in its initiatives aimed at meeting the needs of local carriers, employers and APTA members.

"We want to ensure that the best practices of private post-secondary education are utilized," Reeder said. "Brian Baxter's deep knowledge of post-secondary education in a private-sector setting is an immense asset in our commitment and determination to do just that."

A federal judge in Little Rock yesterday approved an $84.9- million settlement of the class-action suit brought against Pilot Flying J by trucking customers that alleged the nation’s largest diesel retailer had defrauded them through a diesel-rebate scheme.

Judge James Moody of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas signed off on the deal following a brief hearing, The Tennessean reported online.   

Per that news story, the agreement settles most-- but not all-- of the lawsuits that were filed against the company in the wake of an April 15th federal law-enforcement raid on Pilot Flying J’s headquarters in Knoxville.by federal agents on Pilot’s Knoxville headquarters on April 15.

Afterwards, details of the alleged scheme by the truckstop operator’s sales executives to secretly cut fuel-purchase rebates that were owed to trucking customers were laid out in a 120-pg FBI affidavit.

The nearly $85-million payout to the customers in the class action  includes $56.5 million to directly reimburse customers for the fuel rebates and discounts that Pilot shorted them on, reported The Plain Dealer, as well as $9.75 million in interest on the money due (at 6% interest) along with $14 million in attorney fees and $4.5 million in audit costs.

The settlement was reached with 5,500 customers of the truckstop operator. The Associated Press (AP) quoted “lawyers on both sides” as saying that “no one among the 5,500 companies agreeing to the settlement filed an objection and that only about 1% of affected companies opted out of the agreement so they could file their own lawsuits.”

What’s more, the approval of the class-action deal has no bearing on the ongoing federal fraud investigation of Pilot Flying J-- which has resulted thus far in seven employees having entered guilty pleas.

On the other hand, AP has reported that Aubrey Harwell, Jr., the Nashville-based attorney for Jimmy Haslam, CEO of Pilot Flying J as well as the owner of the Cleveland Browns football club, has affirmed that Haslam had no knowledge of the scheme.

“This is an unfortunate time for our customers and our company, but we remain committed to making things 100% right with our customers, to put systems in place to help ensure this does not happen again, and to re-earn our customers trust,” Haslam said in a statement about the class-action claims issued by his firm back in July.

The co-owner of Pilot Flying J is Haslam's brother, Gov. Bill Haslam (R-TN). Gov. Haslam has stated he isn't involved with the firm’s operations.

With $31 billion in sales, per Forbes, Pilot Flying J is one of the nation's largest private companies.

Pilot, founded by Haslam’s father, James Haslam Jr. in 1958, merged with Flying J in 2010. The company operates some 600 retail locations in 43 states as well as in Canada.

The Selinger government will spend $200 million over the next five years to "rebuild" the southwest section of the Perimeter Highway.

The plan is part of the government's strategy to help link CentrePort with major truck routes such as the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 75.

As part of the plan, the Perimeter will be reconstructed from the Trans-Canada to Brady Road and a new overpass will be built at Highway 3 (McGillivray Boulevard). Engineering work to replace remaining traffic signals with similar diamond interchanges, including at Kenaston Boulevard and Waverley Street, will also take place.

"Our plan will create a high-speed, free-flowing roadway with safer, smoother traffic -- especially around southwest Winnipeg, where housing and businesses are rapidly expanding," said Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Steve Ashton, in a press release.

Open houses will be held next year to collect public feedback on the proposed projects, government officials said.

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. – A new video, Filling Trucks, Fulfilling Needs, produced by Shaw Tracking in collaboration with Trucks For Change will highlight the need for support at charities and communities across Canada.

Trucks For Change (T4C), a non-profit organization, matches trucks to charities and delivers goods to communities and charities in need.

By matching available trucking capacity with charity freight requests, T4C’s member trucking companies are able to offer donated or reduced-rate services to charities engaged in distributing donated food and materials.

Since launching in 2011 with the help of the Ontario Trucking Association, Trucks For Change Network members have moved over four million pounds of donations to communities across Canada, in the process saving tens of thousands of dollars for charity organizations including Food Banks Canada, Habitat For Humanity Canada, and Canadian Red Cross.

Shaw helped produce the video, which highlights the significant role that T4C’s growing network of trucking and logistics members are playing in its communities. Shaw TV will broadcast “Filling Trucks, Fulfilling Needs” multiple times on all systems on Wednesday, November 27.

This segment will be airing on over 43 of Shaw’s local go! shows throughout the month of November.

The video is also hosted for viewing on YouTube, and all participating carriers and sponsors are encouraged to embed it to their website to promote the trucking industry’s valuable contributions.

Shaw Tracking has aligned with Trucks For Change Network’s mission to facilitate the trucking industry’s support of the communities it serves.  Mike Ham, Vice-President of Shaw Tracking, said, “We’re ecstatic to have this opportunity to promote Trucks For Change Network, and to provide the resources to produce this video. We’re proud to contribute to T4C’s work, and to support our customers and business partners involved in this innovative project”.

Pete Dalmazzi, President and Founder of Trucks For Change Network, added “We’re thrilled to have the support of Mike and the Shaw team.  Shaw Tracking is a leading player in the Canadian trucking industry, and Shaw Communications’ production and distribution of our video will help us to tell our story inside and outside the trucking industry.  It’s a dream partnership for us”.
