- "Penske service manager shows trucking is more than a man’s world."

Content: Penske service manager shows trucking is more than a man’s world

Male co-workers and clients have offered Amelia Walker-Ross a lot of unwelcome feedback and recommendations in the 20-plus years she has spent as a mechanic. Proving them wrong has been one of her best experiences on the job.

Trucking is not simply a man’s industry, she says. “It’s an everybody industry. Anybody can do it. As long as you go through the schooling and you want to learn, anybody can be capable of doing the transportation jobs.”

Walker-Ross has proven how true that is. She recently became the first female branch service manager at Penske Canada, supervising and guiding 10 mechanics, ensuring Penske’s Winnipeg shop runs smoothly.

A passion for vehicles

But this is not what she saw herself doing as a teenage girl.

Growing up, Walker-Ross dreamed of a cosmetology career. However, unexpected financial challenges in the family made her pick up a toolbox and a manual at the age of 16, to look under the hood of her mom’s old van. It ignited a passion for working on vehicles, and she would fix family cars in the driveway until she got her first job in a dealership at 18.

Walker-Ross loved her job too much to let unwanted opinions discourage her. She often had to face pushback, when men were telling her she should not be doing ‘men’s work’, and that she should be at home, cooking and cleaning.

But six years later, when she was pregnant with her daughter, she realized it was time for a change. Without knowing anything about trucking, Walker-Ross applied for a lube technician job. She was accepted with open arms.

“I got hired right away. The group of guys I worked with — they were great. They were fantastic, very supportive. I had no pushback from them, unlike in the automotive industry… They didn’t care that I was female. They were very much like, ‘Well, if you can get the job done, let’s get it done.’”

Walker-Ross realized her favorite part of the job is its challenge. There is always room for learning and improvement in the fast-paced and constantly growing industry.

Joining Penske

Striving to expand her career options, she applied for a job at Penske four years ago.

After working on the floor servicing trucks, she was quickly promoted to lead the night shift, where she worked with fellow technicians and conducted final checks. Her mornings or late evenings were dedicated to spending as much time with her daughter as she could.

A year and a half ago she was offered a maintenance supervisor position, and after that, she became the first female branch service manager.

Now, Walker-Ross gets to keep her passion for working on trucks, solving challenges and helping others learn and grow.

“I love helping the guys learn the truck. And I very much enjoy that, every day, it’s a new problem. Yeah, that’s my favorite part of it — always learning and growing and changing. Like, we don’t know what the next year’s [truck] model is going to come out with.”

But she still sees room for the industry itself to improve.

To her, the key to attracting more women is to change the wording often used to describe the industry and, therefore, its image.

“It’s not a boys’ club anymore. It doesn’t matter what we’re doing, whether it’s replacing a starter or removing a clutch. We [women] can still do it. We still have the same tools they have; we still have the same abilities.”

Pushing past unwelcome comments

This why Walker-Ross’ advice to women who consider a job in trucking is, “Just go for it… If the comments do come out – because sometimes they do – brush them off and keep going.”

Still, she also emphasizes the importance of speaking up and communicating with senior managers and supervisors about unappreciated words and actions in the workplace.

She remembers a time in her previous job when one driver wouldn’t let her work on his truck, even though she was the only licensed technician in the shop during that evening shift. But her boss put his foot down.

“He came out and said, ‘The only option you have this evening is Amelia looking at your truck, and she can get it fixed and back on the road. Or we can put a lube tech, who works with her on this truck, who has no training. And he can try to diagnose it. She will end up having to step in and help him. But you only have these two options. You can start with the lube tech and have him go as long as he can. Or you can accept the fact that we have a female mechanic here, and she is 100% qualified to work on your truck and she will get it going for you.’”

It was one of the times Walker-Ross proved them wrong. In less than an hour, the diagnostics were complete, the damaged part was changed, and the truck was back on the road.

Why are construction and maritime industries more popular with women nowadays?

- "LUS Fiber hires first woman lineworker, a graduate of the SLCC Power Lineman program."

When Lafayette residents look up at the bucket of an LUS Fiber truck they could see Jewel Everett — the company's first woman lineworker.

Everett has been shadowing other workers, learning everything to do with the fiber optic business.

She enrolled in South Louisiana Community College's Power Lineman program and, after getting outfitted with clothing and equipment small enough to fit her, jumped right into working at LUS Fiber.

"I really wanted to go to school for that specific program because it gave me opportunities to either go for electric (line work) or anything that requires bucket trucks or climbing poles," Everett said.

Everett, who enjoys being in the bucket making repairs, said the most challenging part has been lifting and balancing the larger equipment, like the ladders that are more than 20 feet long. But when she conquers those challenges - like the time she had to hang a cross tie during school - it makes the job worth it.

"I’ve always liked doing hard work, and doing hard work comes with making good money and also helping people in a big way," Everett said.

At LUS Fiber, she'll install fiber lines on overhead poles, splice fiber cable, climb poles or use ladders to access fiber infrastructure, and install advanced network gear at locations across Lafayette and Acadiana.

The 25-week program at SLCC includes training students to receive their CDL license, learning first aid, receiving training specific to being a lineworker, learning to work buckets and how to climb utility poles.

"That was one of the good things about having her go to the SLCC program. It’s allowing them to learn the basics and then quickly jump to their next role," said Ryan Meche, director of LUS Fiber. "Once we found clothes that fit her and got her rigged out, she was literally the next day climbing the poles getting work done."

The program was created after Charlotte LeLeux, director of transportation, distribution, and logistics, was approached by utility companies about the dwindling workforce and a need for lineworkers.

The program's first cohort graduated in January 2020. All 16 people had jobs lined up before their graduation day.

Everett was the program's first woman graduate, an honor for SLCC, LeLeux said. LeLeux, who received her CDL license more than 20 years ago, knew some of the obstacles women can face in fields of work traditionally dominated by men.

"When Jewel came in, we had that conversation. I said, 'When you face obstacles and somebody’s pushing back, you don’t think twice. You push back because you’re just as capable,' LeLeux said. "She’s definitely been a pioneer and paving the way for the young ladies that come behind her."

But Everett didn't look at it as a trailblazing opportunity but a way to do something she's interested in.

“You just have to do it, honestly," she said. "And you can’t be scared to do it."

Meche said he's glad Everett chose to work at LUS Fiber after graduation."We're really excited to have someone like Jewel join the workforce with a fresh perspective and highly motivated," Meche said. "We think this is going to be a huge asset and be pivotal to our success and some of these expansion efforts that we're going through."

A former Miss England finalist, current England rugby star and an ex-finance worker have shattered traditional gender stereotypes by pursuing their dream jobs of driving 44-tonne lorries across Great Britain.

Farmer's daughter and model Milly Everatt, rugby player Chantelle Crowl and Domino Homer, who worked a traditional office job since passing her GCSEs, are among the less than one per cent of women lorry drivers in the UK.

The trio have each earned their HGV licences and excelled in their dream career after having previously found success in other industries.

The drivers are now hoping that they can inspire other women to join their ranks and pursue careers on the road.

Milly Everatt

Milly Everatt, 23, from Eastoft, Lincolnshire, swapped her high-heels for high-vis after having been the first runner-up for Miss England 2022.

Miss Everatt had been competing in professional beauty pageants since 2017 and was titled Miss Lincolnshire in 2018. That same year she was crowned Miss Charity after raising the most money for good causes.

But last year, the beauty queen and former model ditched the catwalk and trained for both her Class 1 and Class 2 HGV licence so she could fulfil her dream of becoming a lorry driver.

Now, after having undertook a series of in-depth tests, she is living her live on the open road and driving 44-tonne high tech vehicles across the UK.

'It's been so much fun getting behind the wheel of a big truck as part of my new day job!' Miss Everatt has said. 'I love having the freedom that comes with driving, as it takes me all around the country, and the wages are great too.'

The former pageant competitor was inspired to pursue her dream of becoming a trucker after the Covid pandemic, Brexit and other factors led to a shortage of lorry drivers across the country.

Miss Everatt grew up on a farm and around heavy machinery. She would drive tractor's around the property and believed the step up to driving a large truck was the next logical progression in her career.

She was also inspired by the fact that less than one per cent of British HGV drivers are female. She says the evolving industry is 'really exciting' and is encouraging other women to join their ranks.

'For any women who are thinking of getting into logistics, my best advice is just to do it,' she said. 'With so many roles and training opportunities available, it's a really exciting industry to get involved with.'

Last year, while she was training for her licence, Miss Everatt advocated for normalising the path for women in the heavy machinery industry.

'I think we're in modern times and there's nothing to stop girls getting involved in that kind of thing,' she said at the time. 'It's not the norm but it should be. It's also something people don't think about often, it's not thought about enough in feminism.

'I know some farmers daughters who don't do anything to help their parents farm. Agriculture has been forgotten about by feminism.

'Anything that breaks the stereotype has to be a good thing. I want to prove its not just 40-year-old men that do this job and if it inspires other women to do the same, that would be amazing.'

She also previously revealed that obtaining an HGV licence had been a longtime dream of hers and would aid her work on the farm.

She said: 'It was always on my list of things to do. I should've done it at 18. But I was doing my A-Levels and then the pandemic happened so I put it off.

'It's something that I want to have under my belt. I have horses so it could help for that and I can use it to take grain in - it's something I'll use everyday while I'm on the farm.'

Chantelle Crowl

Chantelle Crowl, 30, is known for her successes as an England and Super League rugby star - but when she's away from the pitch, she travels the country in a HGV.

Ms Crowl, born in Toronto, Canada, and has been playing rugby since she was eight years old.

However, in her free time the St Helens and England forward delivers beer kegs and other vital items to pubs and clubs around Britain.

Due to the flexibility of lorry driving, she is able to work her trucking job around her training schedule. She loves the flexibility of the industry and how she significant control over how much and how long she works.

Commenting on the lack of women in the industry, she added: 'My advice would be to just go for it, if it’s what you want to do. This is a free world and an equal opportunity for anyone to be part of no matter what or where.'

Ms Crowl said she also reaps the benefits of being a trucker when she's on the pitch.

She claims her lorry job keeps her 'fit and strong for rugby', because she chooses to take on some of the heavier lifting tasks that might otherwise be carried out by two or three people, or even a machine.

The athlete added that she often feels 'extra fit if I've had a hard day at work'.

Domino Homer

A former finance worker walked away from her career to pursue her dream of living life on the road and now works for a family-run trucking firm, Buffaload Logistics.

Domino Homer, XX, worked in a traditional office environment ever since finishing her GCSEs, including working for a mortgage broker and as an office assistant.

Mrs Homer had moved out of her family home at a young age and 'didn't really have a lot of funds', she told MailOnline, which made it hard for her to determine which career path to take.

But in 2021 - after working for years in roles she was not passionate about - she funded her own Class 2 licence after leaving the financial industry. She secured her Class 1 licence the following year to become a fully qualified HGV driver.

'I didn't really even at school really know what I wanted to do. I thought maybe hairdressing,' she recalled.

'Then I thought, you know, I've always seen big trucks on the road - and even driving in general, I've always enjoyed being on the road, whether it'd be a passenger or driving.'

She began pursuing her Class 1 certification after seeing an advertisement on Facebook promoting a company that was offering to take on a driver and put them through the first exam.

'I contacted them and they were really interested in me,' she said, adding that the 'lovely' family-run company had 'accepted me'.

However, it wasn't necessarily an easy road for Mrs Homer. She actually failed her Class 1 test the first time she took it.

'I was I think it was a stress of the day. It was really windy and there was a storm,' she told MailOnline, also citing the pressures of the pandemic as possible contributing factors.

'It's Covid of course, everyone's wearing masks, we don't have the windows open. And they weren't sure if they were going to let anyone actually go out because we were driving a wag and drag which was loaded with water and curtainside. We were quite blown around a bit.'

She did pass the second time she took the test and passed her Class 2 on the first try. Mrs Homer also has her full motorbike licence and car licence.

She now works night shifts, drives set deliveries and collections throughout her shift, and loves 'watching the world go by through a big widescreen and listening to my favourite podcasts'.

Mrs Homer loves driving, which was a longtime dream come true, but admits that it does have its challenges.

Besides the physical challenges she faces, she revealed that sometimes 'it can feel like you don't have much of a life'.

'The hours can be extremely long, sometimes you don't come home, you know you're, you're stuck out. It can be quite lonely,' she said.

But one of the benefits of driving a truck is meeting new people and the sense of freedom and independence, she explained.

'I like to have my own space. When I worked in an office, if they had a radio, it used to really wind me up. They'd always have the same radio station on every day. And you hear the same songs every day, more than once that day,' said Mrs Homer.

'Whereas you're doing you're in your truck, you know, you can listen to your music that you like or, or a podcast, for example. You know, it's your little space, like your office on wheels. You're surrounded by big windows and sometimes it's just a good peace and quiet.'

Mrs Homer is now encouraging other women to pursue careers in logistics and is advocating for a shift in perception about what working in the industry actually looks like.

'Follow your heart; the only way you'll know if your dream job is right for you is to give it a go,' she said. 'Life is too short to have regrets so go for it and don't let anything stop you.

'If it turns out that you were wrong, you can always change your career in the future and that's exactly what I did.'

Female transit trucker on navigating gender hurdles

Industries traditionally dominated by men are making meaningful efforts to attract more women to their workforces. But just how do they get the balance right?

It’s a concern Irene Naliaka, now in her tenth year as a professional driver working with Sahara Motors, wrestles with.

They transport imported vehicles from the Mombasa Port to Kampala, Uganda.

Her interest in driving led her to seek a job in the field.

"I was desperate for a job and I had to question myself as to what I could do comfortably. I had tried my hand on a lot of things, but then driving earned it."

Women can assume roles in male-dominated areas. But the reality of being a woman only hit Ms Naliaka when she started working.

"Driving for me is a hobby, so it never seemed strange when I took up the work offer. However, I was the only woman on the team but they made it easy for me to blend in."

Ms Naliaka says she has become better at the work with time.

"I am looking forward to driving even harder machines, such as the top loader operators,'' she says.

Her first trip was not easy. ''It was a decision that I had made and I knew that I wanted to drive, but I was not ready for it to be honest. I remember when one of my sisters asked me if I was normal and that I should look for a different job,'' she says.

As a mother of four with a nine-month-old baby, it was hard for her.

"On my first assignment, I turned up with my baby, I had my son's bag and my bag. My employer thought it was a joke that I was travelling with a little baby, but then I didn't have anyone to look after him and I needed to get the job done," she says

Ms Naliaka's first trip to Kampala took more than 24 hours, whereas drivers are expected to reach Kampala in 16 hours. Many working mothers struggle with the challenges of getting ahead in their careers and the guilt of not being home all the time.

How will I manage to be part of my children's life? Will my absence be worth it? How will I explain to them that I have to be away? These were the questions that stalked Ms Naliaka.

She talks of restraining her duties as a mother and trying to find balance. Mostly, Ms Naliaka would be on the road for four days and get three days to be home and vice versa if the cycle changed.

Before her travel, she says, "I have to make sure I sleep well because our highways can be very terrible. I wake up as early as 5 am so that I talk to my little boys and see them off for school by 6 am."

"I then prepare and leave the house at 8 am because I need to be at the car pickup point by 10 am to manage the clearance process and be ready to leave at around 3 pm. We leave Mombasa in a convoy, which means we have to journey as a team to Kampala,’’ she adds

According to Ms Naliaka, the power of choosing to be a working mom cannot be underestimated. She has to deal with being a fatigued parent though it gets better with time.

How did she find her voice?

"At the beginning of 2013, my husband was involved in a serious car accident, he lost two spinal discs, the L5 and thorax 7 and that left him immobilised. Two years after the accident, I had to find something to do as his medication took most of my savings. So I had to put food on the table and make sure he got his medication. My husband had his reservations at first, but these were his words, 'I know you are a strong woman, you can do it, but this is too hard'," Ms Naliaka says.

She continues, " It was not easy, we had fights in between because of the long absence, but in the end, it worked after he saw that I could do it. At the moment he is slowly regaining his mobility."

Her husband is a maths teacher.

Does she have moments when she feels like she should take a seat back from the industry?

"Yes. When I started, the migration process was a thorn in the flesh situation. I used to waste hours to be cleared and that interfered with my travel back home. But I came to make terms with the slow clearance," she says.

It also meant pacing herself because work and mothering need to be done.

Challenges

"The roads are never the same, the weather keeps changing every time," she says.

"In the Rift Valley, we sometimes get hailstorms just out of nowhere. That's when professionalism comes in, you slow down, use the lights to indicate because you've got to manage your space, use the heater to heat the car and the windscreen to clear the precipitation. There was a time when I couldn't do it because it was too intense, so I'd just pulled over to the roadside and wait for the storm to clear,’’ she adds.

She has also encountered her fair share of ruthless truck drivers.

''Women are naturally wired to be soft, in some cases, you might be driving and enjoying your moment and a truck honks carelessly and it might frighten you to lose track.''

Ms Naliaka also recounts how unfair the male-dominated industry might be for women.

"Men feel we are fighting for their position. From my experience and the type of work I do, men don't want women on the roads. There was a time when a boss told a short lady that she could not drive, but there are short men on the job too," she points out.

As women continue to break through the glass ceiling and navigate their way in the workplace, Ms Naliaka is proud to have had only one accident in 10 years.

"You have to be brave, be yourself, be bold, don't be afraid to speak up because that will always get you through. If it's a 'no, stand firm, if you can't manage it, just speak up. It's always good to ask," she says.

XPO Logistics has launched a female driver academy to attract more women into the industry.

All female drivers joining the academy will undertake a 12 to 16-week programme with the XPO Logistics internal driver training team to develop their skills.

The first candidate assessment days were held at the beginning of May, and the first female driver academy candidates are expected to start driving HGVs full-time for the supply chain company by August this year.

Logistics is a notoriously male-dominated sector, with only 1%-2% of lorry drivers in the UK being female. Additionally, an ageing workforce and a post-Brexit labour exodus have seen the industry struggle to attract and retain talent.

The new XPO initiative is meant to encourage more women to join the sector, according to the company’s UK&I HR vice-president Lynn Brown.

“We will be employing the candidates from day one so they can earn a living while training to become a vital part of our team,” Brown said.

“Our customer, Saint-Gobain UK & Ireland, has backed the initiative by offering roles in their British Gypsum and PAM operations.

“Our trainer will buddy our candidates, ensuring they can learn from someone who has first-hand experience of what they are going through and can provide the best possible support.”

The XPO Female Driver Academy is part of the company’s Driver Excellence Academy, which was launched to help people from all backgrounds who want to train for a career as an HGV driver, with the only requirement being that participants are over the age of 18.

One of the participants, Steph, said this was a “great opportunity to get more women involved in the HGV industry”.

“There are other ways to achieve your licence, but most HGV jobs require years of experience. The academy gives you more knowledge and experience,” she added.

“I’m particularly looking forward to getting more confidence and experience on the roads, taking advantage of wider opportunities at XPO Logistics, and exploring the country.”

Insights: Mike Ellis, CEO, American Commercial Barge Line

Maritime Activity Reports, Inc.

May 31, 2023

Mike Ellis, ACBL’s CEO since August 2020, was previously executive VP and marine group leader at Savage Services Corporation. Prior to that, he was president, board member and part owner of Settoon Towing, following time in leadership positions with Bollinger Shipyards, including EVP/CFO and EVP/COO.

There is no shortage of challenges confronting the U.S. barging industry, and executives such as Mike Ellis, CEO at American Commercial Barge Line (ACBL), are leading their companies past hurdle after hurdle. The Jeffersonville, Ind.-based company, which owns a fleet of approximately 150 towboats and moves a fleet of some 4,500 barges (including roughly 3,500 operated by ACBL), is focusing on factors it can control while planning and investing for the future.

The weather
Mother Nature is often unkind to the barging industry. Water levels have received a lot of media coverage, especially amid last year’s historic lows, but Ellis said fog is frequently overlooked as a major weather-related disruptor. “Fog has probably been the one that gets the least amount of attention, yet may cause the most inefficiencies because you just can’t run in those conditions. It’s dangerous.”

Ellis said the “continued onslaught of 100-year weather events that we seem to have every year” continue to wreak havoc on commercial navigation. “The extreme weather has been difficult. It’s made it difficult to navigate, it’s made it difficult to be efficient, and difficult to keep our commitments, because capacity is restricted when these weather events occur, whether it’s extreme high water, extreme low water or icing.”

Still, the U.S. inland waterway system is the most efficient waterway system in the world, boosting the competitiveness of American imports and exports, Ellis said. “The inland river system is vital to our country’s economic dominance, and we have to continue to support it,” he said. “We have come together and recognize the need—not just the industry, but Congress as well—to better fund [river infrastructure]. . . We have funded our infrastructure to be able to repair and operate locks and dams very well. But what we haven’t done is given the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers enough money so they can be more proactive in dredging.”

Due to budgetary constraints, the Corps has had to be largely reactive in its dredging operations, moving assets where needed when low water events occur. But, if funded properly, the Corps would be able to shift to a more “systematic, proactive way of dredging”. Ellis said. “It can be done.”

It’s also important that the U.S. Coast Guard continue to be able to mark navigational channels, Ellis said, noting that this has been a bit of a struggle as the agency awaits its new buoy tenders.

“There are a lot of things going on that will help [the industry deal with extreme weather events]. The industry is aware, and we’re working together. There’s no disagreement in what we need to do, and there’s not even a disagreement in terms of funding today, Ellis said. “Our industry is doing what we need to do collaboratively and responsibly to make sure that we mitigate these extreme conditions.”

Workforce woes
The industry’s top challenge, Ellis said, is a people problem. “The most pressing issues we have is our continued shortage of qualified personnel we need to run our boats and to run the business. It’s probably the most pressing need of the industry as a whole,” he explained. “There’s been so much demand on people. It’s been harder to get people in the door, harder to choose a career on the water for these young adults coming out of either high school or college. So, we’ve had to make a lot of changes to our business to attract the people we need to attract.”

A challenge the industry faces is that the work is both physically and mentally demanding in nature, which can be a turn-off for some. That is to say companies need to find and retain the right type of people. “We have to run the business safely, and we have to have qualified people that are willing to make a career in this business. But 28 days on and 28 days off—that’s probably our most popular schedule—it’s not for everyone,” Ellis said. “We can’t pay our way and hire our way out of this. We have to train our way out of this. We have to invest in the future of our people, by continuing to train and keep a pipeline of qualified mariners ready to step up to that next position when we have either a retirement or someone leaving the industry for some other reason. That is something our industry works on as a whole, and we spend a lot of time working at ACBL to make it the most attractive place for mariners who want to start a career.”

Ellis said ACBL has seen its flow of applicants grow after the company expanded its search efforts beyond the areas it has traditionally pulled talent from, tapping into areas hit by slowdowns in other industries. “We’ve had to go out and find those applicants. It didn’t just happen,” Ellis said. “It’s been a team effort to go to those communities where we could be most effective.”

ACBL has also had great success through in-company mentorships for its new hires, with the aim to help the next generation meet their goals and advance their careers. “We’ve made sure that their mentors are keeping contact with them even during the periods when they’re not on the boat,” Ellis said. “We like to say the biggest asset someone has to invest is their time, and we’re very cognizant of the fact that their investment needs to pay returns. We are doing more to fulfill their mentorship, help them advance faster. The faster you advance, the more money you make, obviously, but also the quicker you can get to the position that’s your goal, whether it’s in the wheelhouse or the port captain, come onshore. There’s a lot of different opportunities, and having that mentor and that career path are important. And we find that as we’ve been more proactive in that effort, our retention rates have gone up.”

Navigating the market
The barging industry has been stronger of late than it was say five years ago. “Demand has been strong, and supply has been somewhat limited or shrinking,” Ellis said. “And severe weather events, as bad as they are, tend to constrict supply even more. When you’re running a low water at 40 to 50% of the barges you normally carry on a boat or a tow, that does a lot to the cost, but it also decreases your capacity as an industry, because you only have so many boats, and if you’re only carrying half the barges on those boats, that affects the overall supply that we can bring to the market. So, when these weather events happen, that tighten the market even more.”

Do the economics support newbuilding? “They may today, but history will tell you that today doesn’t pay for that 30-year barge, or that 30-year boat. It takes a long period of time to pay those assets back,” Ellis said. “Hopefully we continue to see that supply versus demand at equilibrium to where there is a decent return for our market to build new equipment. Because eventually we’re going to have to build new equipment—the industry, not just ACBL.”

“We operate a lot of equipment, obviously, and have to continually add, even continually build, both barges and boats to replace assets that are retiring. . . Our plans are to periodically add so many barges and so many boats per year to take care of attrition, but it won’t happen evenly over that period,” Ellis said. “There are different ways for us to keep our optimal fleet size of barges. One way is to build and one way is to buy on the market. We still feel consolidation is important in this industry, and it needs more consolidation.”

Asked about the company’s potential consolidation plans, Ellis said ACBL tends to focus on areas where it is most efficient. “We think we’re very efficient with our mainline system in moving chemicals south and from the Gulf Coast up north and vice versa,” Ellis said. “But they run 10,000-barrel barges. So, you’ll see a concentration of our efforts there.”

And on the dry side, Ellis said ACBL will continue to look for acquisitions that support its business, such as “boat-short” companies with many more barges than towboats. “That fits our profile pretty well because we have a great repertoire of boats and horsepower, and we’re probably going to be looking more to replace or add barges than we are boats.”

ACBL is also exploring growth potential in nontraditional areas. “We’re always looking for new opportunities for our industry. One of the ones that’s been thrown around in our industry, the inland waterway system, is containers on barge,” Ellis said. “But it has to be supported from an infrastructure standpoint to be able to efficiently trans-load these containers at different ports up the Mississippi, up our waterway system. Until that happens, it is somewhat limited, but it is gaining more and more momentum.”

“Any time you can use existing barges or boats, even if you have to build some new equipment, to add to the amount of traffic and the amount of goods we’ll bring in on the inland waterway system, it helps support our business.”

Green questions
ACBL currently has several new vessels under construction, including a mighty 11,000-horsepower towboat at C&C Marine and Repair in Belle Chasse, La.; a clean-burning EPA Tier 4 retractable towboat at Steiner Construction Company in Bayou La Batre, Ala.; and Hydrogen One, a first-of-its-kind towboat that will run on emissions-reducing methanol-to-hydrogen generator technology, being built at Intracoastal Iron Works in Bourg, La.

“The barging industry is already the greenest form of transportation. There’s no doubt. It’s not even close,” Ellis said, but noted that the industry is always looking at the way it operates and the technology it uses as it continually strives to be even more environmentally friendly. “Our most immediate focus is on how we operate. When we’re running low water and the channels aren’t properly dredged and marked, or locks and dams aren’t operationally sound, the whole industry becomes more inefficient. We’re burning way too much carbon per ton mile.”

“What we’ve done is create additional efficiencies by being able to safely turn off certain main power when we’re not needing it. That’s something that’s fairly new to what we do, and we’ve saved a tremendous amount of not only fuel, but also carbon emissions.”

The next step, Ellis said, involves exploring new technologies. “The Tier 4 engines are a prime example of our industry moving to a cleaner form of combustible propulsion, and there’s also the future of other forms of non-combustion type propulsion, which you see with the Hydrogen One vessel that we will operate.”

“From an operation standpoint, there will be a lot that we are able to learn [from Hydrogen One] about the technology and how sustainable and applicable it can be to different types of cargo movements,” Ellis said. “We are looking forward to operating the equipment to test its boundaries.”

Ellis said other alternative fuel options are on ACBL’s radar, but that its investment in these technologies in the near future is unlikely. “We’re investing time, but we’re not investing hard dollars [at this point],” he said. “We’re probably paying closer attention to certain applications for battery-operated vessels within short haul ports, and how to interchange battery packs to make downtime less of an issue and less of an obstacle. We have to develop ways to keep the downtime on these battery-operated vessels to a minimum.”

Of course, the cutting edge of technology typically brings higher price tags. Pure battery-powered vessels, for example, may make sense in certain scenarios, but are often not commercially viable without support from some type of grant program or government funding, Ellis said. “Our industry will not be able to see any real meaningful [technological] changes until they become more economically feasible.”

“So, until the cost versus benefit for the operators like us who have to make investments balances, we probably won’t see the industry move as fast as customers probably want us to, or our government would want us to, Ellis said. “The cost of the technology is still much higher than anyone is willing to pay for it.”

The power of AI
As it strives to maximize efficiency, ACBL is making use of advanced technology such as computer modeling and artificial intelligence (AI) to best map out how it operates. “There are parts of our business that are very complicated, when we’re moving 4,000-plus barges on our network,” Ellis said. “How we move those barges, how we build those tows, how we run our intervals are super important to us.”

Last year, ACBL kicked off a program called MOST (Marine Operating System Transformation), which combines a number of software products the company uses to improve operational efficiency as well as the experience and interface for its customers.

“We are investing in some really interesting technology to help us more efficiently run our business, and to be able to turn our barges faster, to be able to provide a better customer experience from beginning to end on where your barges are, what the status is,” Ellis said. “That technology is a huge piece of what we do, and we’re very excited about it.”

Unitil : Appreciation Day Celebrates Lineworkers' Dedication

Hampton, NH

HAMPTON, N.H., April 18, 2022 - Unitil Corporation, (Unitil.com), a provider of natural gas and electricity to customers in New England, is celebrating National Lineworker Appreciation Day by recognizing the many men and women who have dedicated their careers to keeping the lights on. This special day set aside to honor lineworkers and their commitment to the profession will be held today, April 18.

"It's easy to take electricity for granted, but when an outage occurs and the lights go out, we immediately feel the impact and minutes can seem like hours. Lineworkers are essential to keeping our homes, businesses and infrastructure powered up. We hope everyone will take a moment to think about the critical role lineworkers play and appreciate the efforts they make in all kinds of weather," said Unitil Media Relations Manager Alec O'Meara.

Unitil lineworkers in its electrical service territories in Massachusetts and New Hampshire include employees like Ryan Hildreth, who joined Unitil just over four years ago, and Nigal "Joe" Chapman, a lead lineman who's spent 30 years with the company.

Now 62, Chapman knew he wanted to be a lineworker when he was just 10 years old. As a child, he was awestruck by the bucket truck with the boom and the mechanics behind it.

The career choice proved to be everything he thought it would be and more. While it has its challenges, Chapman said the job has come with many rewards.

"To me, it's rewarding to know that you accomplished something. Not everything is going to be easy. There are going to be some difficult things that are going to require some challenging logistics, but the rewarding part is that when you put somebody else's lights on, you made a difference in their life. They feel comfortable and they feel safe when the lights come on," he said.

Electrical linework wasn't the career path Hildreth originally chose after spending four years in the Marines, but the 33 year old was encouraged to explore the profession by a friend.

After working alongside some lineworkers while employed by a tree service company, Hildreth's interest in linework began to grow. He eventually decided to give it a shot, using the educational assistance provided to servicemembers and veterans through the G.I. Bill to pay for his training at the Southeast Lineman Training Center in Georgia.

Hildreth's work has taken him into the aftermath of storms near and far. Last August, he joined a Unitil crew in Louisiana to assist with power restoration in the wake of Hurricane Ida - one of the strongest storms to strike the U.S Gulf Coast.

The immense devastation had an impact on Hildreth. "I felt bad for the people down there. It was brutal. I had never seen anything like it. The locals said it was worse than Katrina. You could drive for an hour straight on a main road and every single pole was broken. Houses were destroyed. The devastation was unreal," he recalled.

Despite the unimaginable conditions, Hildreth still remembers the warmth he felt and the positive attitude exhibited by the people he met during the massive power restoration effort.

"You'd pull up to a street and you'd be assessing the damage and trying to do what you can do. Their roof would be in their neighbor's yard and they were like, 'Do you guys need any water? You want us to make you some food? Is there anything we can get you?' They were so cool about it," he said.

While Connecticut is the farthest he's traveled during his 30 years with Unitil, Chapman has worked plenty of storms and knows how tough it can be.

"Every storm is different. Sometimes we can get our stuff cleaned up in a day, but when the ice storm came it took us quite a while, and you have to take care of your family at the same time. You're trying to balance different things," he said. "It's good to see how everybody comes together to accomplish the goal to get the lights back on. Everybody has the mindset, 'We're going to do it. We're going to make it happen."

Like others, Chapman's family has understood that the sometimes unpredictable schedule comes with the territory.

A father with two young daughters, Hildreth also knows how demanding the job is at times. "You're going to miss Christmases. You're going to miss birthdays. You're going to miss games for your kids. It's hard leaving them," he said.

But as difficult as it may be on the homefront, Hildreth said, "The most rewarding part is, I'm Superman to my kids. They come running out when I pull in the driveway. They're so happy to see me and I'm so happy to see them. That's the best part."

Large companies with complex production rely on the second option - this road is longer, but in the end it brings the desired bonuses.
Personnel problems are now experienced by almost every industry.
Sanctions pressure from outside forces all sectors of the economy to preserve the accumulated capacity, to seek internal reserves for development, to enter new markets and launch new production.
As in any business, to solve these problems, people are needed - hardworking, knowledgeable, motivated by the result.
Professionals.
Where do they come from, in the most difficult places?
We decided to find out how the personnel issue is being resolved in one of the key sectors of the Russian economy – metallurgy.
RUSAL approaches the development of human resources in a variety of ways.
According to the company, an important part of the personnel policy is partnership with educational institutions and universities.
This principle was laid down by the founder of the company, Oleg Deripaska, who has always argued that “the key to the successful development of the economy and business is to assist talented young people in obtaining professional competencies and skills. ”
Therefore, the company continues to introduce progressive educational practices, expands the scholarship program, organizes targeted training and creates specialized classes.And the results are not long in coming - these principles work.
Excursion to the production can affect the choice of future profession.

But it cannot be said that young people at the enterprises of the aluminum giant come only in this way.
Someone gets a job on a common basis, and then gets sucked in and realizes, “I want to move on. ”
And at this point, the tools for the development of professional competencies in the company itself are included.
You can take refresher courses, improve your skills and then climb the career in the framework of special programs for employees.
For example, Digital Aluminum is a new project about virtual and augmented reality, computer vision, digital assistants and twins, robotization and much more, which helps to understand the modern capabilities of digital solutions for industry, and find out what is already being implemented in RUSAL.
Or with the help of the "Corporate University", whose programs and projects are aimed at developing the competencies of the Company's employees - both managerial and qualification, their professional growth and increasing efficiency.
An unusual chemistry lesson together with Komsomolskaya and RUSAL was held at school No. 3 in Moscow.
Achinsk eighth graders brilliantly passed the quiz on the issues of the Olympics "13th element.
"Alchemy of the Future".
The external contour of educational programs is also quite wide.
Agreements have been concluded with specialized universities and secondary specialized educational institutions.
There is a large program of targeted training at the Siberian Federal University.
The company not only pays scholarships to its future specialists, but organizes them practice in production and, of course, guaranteed employment.
The point of entry into metallurgy can be long before the entrance of the plant, still in school.
The first acquaintance can begin at the All-Russian Olympiad of schoolchildren "13th element.
Alchemy of the future ” or in “RUSAL classes ”.
By the way, there are many examples of building a successful career among young metallurgists.
Let ’ s talk about some of them.
In 10 years he became a director.
Promising nuggets are visible from the school bench.
An example of this is the All-Russian Olympiad for schoolchildren "13th element.
Alchemy of the Future ”, in which students of grades 8-11 participate.
Creatively thinking children together with mentors for six months carry out theoretical and practical tasks.
The purpose of this competition is to identify and develop the individual creative abilities of students in natural science subjects, that is, in chemistry, mathematics, physics, computer science.
For 10 years from the electrolyzer to the commercial director: the career of Jan Voischel can be called rapid.
The Olympics were held for the first time in 2013.
An eleventh-grader from the small village of Tarutino in Achinsk district, Jan Voishel, surprised everyone when, together with his teacher, he assembled an installation to study the properties of nepheline ore.
He had about 1,500 competitors.
The victory was fateful for him – no doubt: he will enter the Siberian Federal University, the Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals and Metal Science in Krasnoyarsk.
There, a gifted freshman was offered to conclude a contract for targeted training.
- Why here?
Because it is a leading company in the aluminum industry.
Working here is a springboard to the future.
I was a student and I was proud to work for KrAZ.
I burned my job because it's cool!
When others were vacationing on vacation, I would put on my overalls and come to the shop.
The plant is stability, it is an opportunity to develop both in production and in management activities.
When you want, all roads open.
His career can be described as rapid.
For the first time during the summer holidays, he got a job at an aluminum plant as an electrolyzer for molten salts of the third category.
And when he came here after graduation, he already had the fifth grade out of six.
Then he moved to the commercial structure of the company.
Today, 27-year-old Jan Wojschel is the commercial director of ISO LLC (Engineering, Construction, Service).
There are about 350 people in charge.
- I dreamed of becoming a commercial director - I became one.
And I associate all my future growth plans only with my favorite company.
Hereditary Caster
At metallurgical enterprises, labor dynasties are valued, when the younger generation through the older ones is brought up on the principles of loyalty to production.
If, coming to the workshop, a young man knows what awaits him - a stable salary, a social package and the opportunity to participate in volunteer activities, he is already ready to work.
He will join the process, will not save himself from difficulties and will not run away, he is reliable.
And in large metallurgy, this is also part of the personnel policy.
Dmitry Kovalev is a hereditary metallurgist, he chose the work following the example of his father.
Among the representatives of family dynasties and Dmitry Kovalev, Director of foundry of the Irkutsk aluminum plant, with whom we talked.
- My father is a foundry, now retired.
I listened to his stories and listened.
In 2008, I was 20 years old, I studied at the Irkutsk State Technical University with a degree in Metallurgical Engineering and got a job at the plant.
I found ways to go to lectures in the morning and work in the evening.
First master, then master technologist, senior master.
From July 2019, he acted as Director of Foundry, in July 2020 he was appointed Director.
At every stage, I am interested in working.
The impetus for career growth was participation in 2015 in the personnel reserve training program, which is called “BS 250 ”.
Dmitry himself speaks about it as follows: the program teaches you to develop, determine priorities, think outside the box and analyze, take control of processes, find a way out of any situation and build your career.
At the same time, he willingly takes part in corporate volunteer activities, in environmental actions, he is interested in holding sports holidays for children from an orphanage, helping veterans of the Great Patriotic War.
It gives him moral satisfaction.
Conscious Choice: Scholarship – Employment – Confidence
And, of course, the most direct way to success is a conscious choice of profession.
Sayanogorets Ivan Bogatyrev came to his choice in school.
Just a month and a half before the exam, representatives of the Sayanogorsk Aluminum Plant came to the class and said that the company invites young talented people to a targeted training program at the Siberian Federal University.
In favor of the choice was the fact that the plant is one of the city-forming enterprises of Sayanogorsk, part of his life.
Ivan Bogatyrev chose his profession at school.
- For the first time I crossed the threshold of the passing enterprise in July 2014, when I came to the production practice.
Our fellow students traveled every summer to rest on vacation, and I and three of my comrades – to work.
They settled for one and a half to two months, resigned - and again to the university.
Thus, I supported the theory with real experience, - says Ivan.
During his work at SAZ, Bogatyrev completed internships in all positions in the electrolysis industry - from the pusher to the senior master and director, graduated from the master's program in the corporate program, became a recognizable face of the youth council of the industrial site.
- I'm very lucky with my mentors.
I am grateful to them for their valuable experience.
At the plant there are all opportunities to realize yourself as a professional and as a person.
The main thing is to take the initiative, - Ivan Bogatyrev believes.
– In the company, in addition to skills, knowledge and experience, I gained confidence in the future.
Therefore, my plans for the future are ambitious, balanced and deliberate.
Ivan Vladimirovich is only 27 years old, he is a master technologist of the fourth series of electrolysis production.
He plans to develop further, take advantage of other programs of the company.
But he also finds time for personal development, for participation in public projects.
He loves sports and creativity.
For others, she volunteers in actions to help veterans and for animal shelters.
With other young activists, he organized the project “My Yard Team ” to teach children interesting, active street games.
Gold Reserve: Becoming a Leader
In 2015, the company launched a training program for the personnel reserve "BS-250".
One of its main tasks is to find and develop leaders.
Someone pays money to study leadership at prestigious foreign universities, and here leading teachers come to teach you as part of a corporate program.
Another motive for professional growth within the company – for employees who have worked here for more than three years, everything is free.
At the first stage, everyone is recruited.
Gradually, their number decreases, in the end remain the most capable.
The best from all RUSAL enterprises enter the final stage.
The winners fall into the golden personnel reserve.
And if there is a vacancy of the head, from the applicants priority is to the one who passed the program "BS-250".
Konstantin Nazarov is a first-year graduate of the corporate training program for the company ’ s personnel reserve.
Konstantin Nazarov, Deputy Director for Production of the Boguchansky Aluminum Plant, a first-year graduate of 2015.
He came to BoAZ from Sayanogorsk and was built by the operator APPA (automated aluminum production process).
He believes that “BS 250 ” is an excellent start for a career, since it gives an opportunity to expand your horizons, to identify such qualities that a person could not have suspected at home.
Mobilize internal reserves: communication, thinking, the ability to make quick or alternative decisions.
- It is great that there are such programs that allow you to develop your knowledge.
But it all depends primarily on the person.
Whatever program it is, it is not able to pull the full potential of the employee.
It can be long and hard to teach, but in the end get not quite competent specialist.
Or competent, but he will not strive for the position for which bets are made.
Ability to compare
Anton Murashov joined the company in August 2021.
He had many years of experience as a transport engineer in other organizations.
But it's not that, it's not that.
I didn ’ t just want a white hat and a white hat.
And that the work itself was interesting, promising and liked.
For a long time I looked through the vacancies and, finally, I became interested: the head of the transport section was needed in “Bauxite Timan ”.
However, at the interview, Anton was given a condition that he accepted - training in the program of road safety at work.
The additional knowledge required for the position was obtained within the framework of the corporate educational program “Young Generation ”.
Anton Murashov was looking for a job that would be interesting to him and help him develop.
- Then I enrolled in the program "BS 250", because I am interested in it and it is necessary to improve my business competencies and management skills, - says Anton Murashov. - I am learning for the future.
I see if I have the opportunity to develop, I do.
And the young people who are now finishing the 11th grade, I want to wish: it is cool in our company, everyone comes.
From you – the desire to work and grow, from us – to create conditions for you.
Getting an education in a university is a good theoretical basis.
However, when you have the knowledge and apply it, you start to do something with your own hands, it brings tremendous experience.
Don ’ t be afraid of jobs.
For any novice leader, a huge experience will work in the workshop, with his hands.

How the war has changed the labor market, and Ukrainian women are increasingly mastering “male ” professions
The war has replaced the labor market, and Ukrainian women are increasingly mastering “male ” professions (Getty Images)
Author: Spetsproekt
Since the beginning of the full-scale war in many areas of the Ukrainian labor market there is a shortage of personnel.
In particular, there is a shortage of specialists in professions that are usually considered “male ”.
However, employers are ready to attract women to atypical positions, and Ukrainian women more actively respond to such vacancies and undergo retraining.
Meest, ATB and Ferrexpo tell about the professions in which women replace men during the war - in a special project for RBC-Ukraine.
Meest Group: whole women ’ s teams occupying “male ” positions
In the international postal and logistics group of companies Meest, historically, women are an integral part of the team: they work with finance, personnel, marketing, are regional directors and partners.
At the same time, due to the specifics of the work - sorting, transportation, logistics - the linear staff of the company, which is two-thirds of the staff, previously consisted mainly of men.
After the start of Russia ’ s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, this began to change.
According to the company, since February 2022, part of Meest has joined the Defense Forces: today, the state is protected by more than 130 employees of the company.
Many were forced to change their place of residence within the country or even go abroad.
“We clearly saw a change in trend around the summer of 2022.
At that time, we were able to solve the most critical issues with the help of employees, adaptation of operational work, etc.
And they restored the recruitment of people to positions that, for one reason or another, were vacant.
We noticed that it is women who respond most actively, including roles that were previously considered purely male, ” the company added.
Since then, companies have begun to attract women, and over the following months this trend has only intensified.
As of now, Meest has formed entire women ’ s teams, occupying “male ” positions.
In total, these are three categories of personnel: employees of warehouses, sorting centers, as well as heads of operational departments.
“If earlier our warehouse teams were more than 80% men, now some units are 70% women.
The distribution of the staff of warehouse centers has also changed significantly - in some areas it is already 50% to 50%, sometimes even with the advantage of female staff.
To do this, the company has changed some operational processes, as well as introduced technology so that women were comfortable working in new conditions, ” Meest said.
At first, the involvement of women in the composition, logistics were treated with caution: the work is extremely difficult both physically and morally.
Within a few months, all doubts were gone.
Women ’ s teams and women show extremely effective work.
The company distinguishes their consistency and structure, as well as elasticity and adaptability.
In general, they are always open to new knowledge and opportunities - and they are strongly supported in this.
The changes also affected the management of the operating departments – now the company has many women in these positions, more than in previous years.
And it is important that in many cases, the leaders grow from the inner team.
For example, during the war, a woman became the head of a branch in one of the regional centers, who had previously worked as an operator at this location - and now performs her own functions without complaint.
“Our plans are to attract women to the posts of couriers.
This area also has its own challenges, because we deliver packages up to 30 kg inclusive.
Therefore, here the company needs to adjust to allow women to work with less weight - and work in this direction is already underway, "the company said.
In the near future, Meest is convinced that the most active will be two categories of search engines – women, as well as veterans and veterans.
They need changes in recruiting and operating processes, so the company is actively working on this: they introduce new technologies and procedures for both women and veterans of both sexes, and for the latter they began to attract psychologists for the purpose of moral support.
“In the end, we see that our people are ready to work and give results under any circumstances.
The main thing is to create comfortable and transparent conditions for them, ” the company concluded.
ATB: the company of strong women
As of today, more than 56 thousand Ukrainians are employed at ATB enterprises, 67% of which are representatives of the fair sex.
Historically, work in grocery retail is considered female, although it requires maximum involvement and dedication.
As the experience of the company has shown, for a Ukrainian woman there is no night impossible.
Leading programmer of the company Kristina Mishchenko at one time made an ascent to the mountain with a height of 6,500 m, set the Ukrainian flag and the ATB flag on the top.
As of today, more than 4.5 thousand ATB employees have joined the ranks of the APU, the Defense Ministry and the National Guard.
If you count only male staff, then about 30% of men are mobilized.
In view of this, women have already adapted, for example, to work as security guards.
On average, almost every store in the network has such an employee.
The number of women involved in what was previously thought to be purely male positions depends on the circumstances, but in some cases it reaches 50%.
The personnel policy of the company is aimed at the development of human resources.
If a woman seeks to become a specialist of an extra-class, to take the coveted position, then a priori cannot be any conventions.
In particular, we are talking about the so-called division into traditionally "female" or "male" positions.
However, it is important to understand that not all women can do men ’ s work.
The complete absence of gender stereotypes in the company proves that more than two thirds of the staff are women.
Among colleagues and business partners, ATB is even called a company of strong women.
“Through dedicated work, the company has withstood the powerful blow of a full-scale invasion, acquired the title of“ network of indestructibility ” and became an outpost of food security of the whole country, ” the company says.
In the ATB, there were many examples of how women work effectively and quickly climb the career ladder in professions that can be considered “male ”, for example, leading key regions, dealing with safety, security, etc.
Also, the company is proud of its training centers in Dnipro, Kiev, Lviv and Odessa.
Annually more than 4 thousand employees undergo free training and improve their skills there.
There are no gender restrictions or stereotypes.
“Women and men gain new skills, master the desired professions, become specialists of the highest level and quickly rise to career levels in the team of the leader of domestic retail.
As for the "male" professions, our women master the specialty of "loader driver".
It is possible to “work ” such physically difficult activities, but such a replacement will be incredibly valuable and very slow.
Therefore, the solution of this issue was taken into their hands by our guardians, ” the ATB stated.
Ferrexpo: support for women 's leadership and decrees for men
Ferrexpo is one of the trendsetters of large Ukrainian business, demonstrating an integrated approach to issues of inclusiveness and gender equality.
In 2022, the company signed the Women ’ s Empowerment Principles to promote gender equality.
Therefore, one of the group's priorities is diversity at the managerial level and the promotion of career opportunities for women.
Since 2020, Ferrexpo has been implementing a comprehensive DE & I strategy, implementing the principles of inclusiveness and gender equality.
Thanks to her, over the past three years, the number of women in leadership positions in Grade 10 + (management staff) has increased by 60%.
The share of women in leadership positions in 2022 was 21%, the goal is to reach the figure of 25% by 2030.
“The introduction of ideas of gender equality has increased the stability of staff, readiness for innovation and the ability to respond quickly to the challenges of the time.
This decision allowed us to strengthen relations with foreign partners, because they are pleased to cooperate with companies where the same level of trust in managers and managers, ” the company said.
According to her, within enterprises, this has allowed to change the views of male skeptics and successfully overcome prejudices against female leaders.
The employees of the enterprises felt their value for the production process, which motivated them to further develop their professional qualities.
Elena Nikolaevchuk-Neroda, who has been working as a driver of motor vehicles in her career at Yeristovsky GOK since 2018, dreamed of driving a car since childhood.
This dream she was able to realize in Ferrexpo.
At one time, Elena was offered a job as a BelAZ driver, and she agreed, although she did not have previous experience driving such a car.
The nuances of work during the internship were taught by experienced mentors.
For 5 years of work, Elena worked in a career on a car, after obtaining a driving license of category C, she began to drive MAZ and KrAZ dump trucks.
Then switched to more powerful Bell and Caterpillar with a carrying capacity of 40 and 90 tons, already has a certificate that allows you to control the 220-ton.
In the future, Elena plans to master other mining equipment - a bulldozer and an excavator.
In addition, the company has a male decree program that allows women to continue their career growth.
If in the family of Ferrexpo employees a woman wants to leave maternity leave earlier in order to continue to grow professionally, a man can take care of the child until he reaches the age of three.
At the same time, the company takes care that the family income does not become less: if a man has a large salary, but goes on maternity leave and the family because of this decreases the total income, Ferrexpo compensates for this amount.

According to her, women are increasingly occupying the positions of master receptionists and even heads of service stations.

On the digital platform of the "Ticket to the Future" project, an interactive online designer "Fitting Professions" was created, with the help of which adolescents will be able to pass a free online test and determine the most suitable profession for them.
Recall that from October 15 to November 30 this year in the Smolensk region, a project for early career guidance for students of grades 6-11 "Ticket to the Future" is being implemented, which is part of the federal project "The Success of Every Child" (the national project "Education").
It is worth noting that the federal project "The success of each child" is aimed at identifying, supporting and developing the abilities and talents of children and young people.
Within its framework, work is being done to ensure equal access of children to relevant and in-demand programs of additional education, to identify the talents of each child and to provide early vocational guidance to students.
According to experts, career guidance tests help schoolchildren to determine the most suitable profession for them, since adolescents very often have difficulties with professional self-determination due to a small life experience.
In order to help the children with the choice of their future profession, a free online test was created in the interactive online designer "Fitting Professions".
As part of the test, the teenager will be able to indicate personal qualities, strengths and interests, as well as choose his favorite school subjects, desired working conditions and priority goals.
Based on these preferences, the system offers suitable professions with detailed information on each of them.
It is important to emphasize that teachers, employers, university teachers, psychologists were involved in the development of the “Fitting Professions ”.
All presented professions are not only described in terms understandable to the student, but also accompanied by comments from specialists.

Content: Sara Al Olama: Amazon provides a supportive environment for women to feel safe and do their best in the workplace
T + T - normal size
March 8 is International Women ’ s Day and is an important occasion for Sara Al Ulama, Amazon Channel Team Leader, to celebrate the achievements of women who believe in their abilities and chart their own path, and to inspire Sarah, who believes that unconscious bias in the global workplace can be an obstacle for women to achieve their ambitious goals.
According to the UN ’ s 2023 report, there are fundamental and strong prejudices against women in nearly 9 out of 10 men and women.
Sarah calls for an increase in the number of women in senior leadership positions, with the aim of inspiring young women.
She also talks about Amazon ’ s efforts to support female employees in the company from taking on leadership roles and achieving further growth and success in this path, and explains how Amazon enables female employees to feel safe and provide full support to provide the best in the workplace.
What does International Women ’ s Day represent to you?
For me, International Women ’ s Day is more than a celebration; I see it as a special occasion to highlight the strides we have made in empowering women against prejudice, the achievements we have made so far in breaking down barriers to their advancement, and the distance we still have to travel and the milestones we need to reach in terms of women ’ s empowerment.
On a personal level, I consider this day to be an occasion to recognize the potential of women, their determination to persevere and achieve their goals and their continuous quest to overcome the obstacles they face every day. I also see this day as a platform through which we call to strengthen our collective efforts to challenge discrimination against women and continue to build a world where gender equality is the norm.
Tell us about your position at Amazon and why you chose to pursue a career in the logistics industry.
As Amazon ’ s channel team leader, the nature of my tasks necessitates assistance in the various operations and support areas of the terminal.
This includes coordinating with delivery service providers and point of contact teams to ensure the best possible customer experience.
After returning from my studies in the US and joining the Amazon Logistics team, I started working in a field that is a daily challenge for me, as the logistics sector is a dynamic and evolving field that requires constant innovation and adaptation.
What interests me most is the diversity of the stores every day, and the opportunity to work with specialist teams ranging from health and safety professionals to reliability, maintenance engineering and training and professional development departments.
In a fast-paced work environment, with many tasks and diverse work styles, each day is a unique experience that drives me to learn and grow continuously.
It is also important to highlight the emerging opportunities for women in the logistics sector, especially in light of the long-term dominance of men in the sector.
With the expansion of the e-commerce landscape and the transition of the logistics sector from a traditional to a more important place thanks to the modern digital economy, this transformation has been a paradigm shift and heralds a future in which women have more opportunities to build prestigious jobs and contribute to the growth and development of this sector.
How has Amazon supported you in your career growth and advancement?
Amazon has played a pivotal role in helping me grow and advance my career, providing me with opportunities for continuous learning, mentorship and support programs to address new challenges.
As a participant in the Amazon Future Leaders Program, I received special support that was pivotal to me as an Emirati working at Amazon, ensuring a clear path for my future and career development.
The culture here is based on the premise that every opinion matters and every observation counts and needs to be taken into consideration, which is an incentive for creativity, innovation and initiative to make decisions with confidence and responsibility, which are key factors to help me expand my skill set and advance my career.
Amazon ’ s diverse work environment, which welcomes everyone equally, makes us all feel valued and empowered to deliver our best in the workplace, supporting the company ’ s vision goals that see our diverse backgrounds as a source of strength and innovation.
How important are government policies in providing job opportunities for women and creating the right environment for women to succeed and prosper?
The UAE ’ s wise leadership believes that gender balance is not just about empowerment in the workplace, but is an important driver of progress and prosperity for the country at all levels.
National strategies and policies, such as the UAE Gender Balance Council Strategy 2026 and the National Policy for the Empowerment of Women 2031, contribute to providing an enabling environment for women of all levels of education and experience to access many opportunities in the field of employment, enabling them to contribute effectively to the country ’ s path towards sustainable development and innovation.
By overcoming gender barriers in the workplace, we open up a wealth of resources and potential that lead to greater achievement, the opportunity to gain more diverse perspectives and thus a successful journey led by collective efforts.
What change do you aspire to see that will increase women ’ s participation in the UAE labor market?
I look forward to a future where the number of women in leadership is not just numbers, but the embodiment of active participation that sets a standard for excellence.
I aspire to see a work environment in which women are encouraged to take up positions in the top leadership of companies and organizations, and women's perspectives and opinions form an indispensable part of the decision-making process.
This paradigm shift requires not only confronting the feelings and attitudes of prejudice we may have about our abilities, but also getting rid of those feelings and attitudes, we need a cultural transformation process in which we witness women supporting women, encouraging them to succeed as a success for all women, and working together to eliminate any form of gender bias.
As the country continues to support and nurture a new generation of women leaders, I hope to see more women in senior and traditionally male-dominated positions, more gender-balanced work environments, and continue to invest in training and mentorship programs that support and encourage women, while giving them equal opportunities to move beyond traditional roles to courageously and confidently reach leadership positions, as Amazon has done for me.
On International Women ’ s Day, what is your advice for women, is there a special message for them on their day?
I recently read that studies indicate that 41% of women do not defend themselves, and this motivates me to send a message to all women on International Women ’ s Day that women trust themselves and their ability, have the courage to make bold decisions, and not allow anyone to question their competence and potential.

Noura learned to drive a loader and braved bullying to help her husband treat her two sons.
A video.
Noura put her two children with autism in front of her eyes and did not look at the difficulty and hardship of driving heavy equipment and decided to learn to drive "Lauder" to be the first woman in Upper Egypt to obtain a driver's license to improve her condition and help her husband to pay for the treatment of their two sons without considering the bullying she faced from the surrounding society in light of the customs and traditions that restrict women in Upper Egypt
Noura Jamal Taha Mohamed, 36, daughter of Assiut, said that I am married and have three children, including two with autism, and since their birth, my husband and I visit doctors ’ clinics to treat them, and they are all in schools. I learned to drive a loader and challenge all the ridicule and bullying so that I can improve my income to help my husband to pay for my children ’ s treatment.
Noura added: I learned from my friend about the announcement of the initiative of a decent life at the training center about training young people on crafts and applied to learn the craft of construction, but when I went to the training center I found the teaching of driving heavy equipment, so I decided to learn to drive the loader equipment and there were many challenges ahead of me.
She continued: When I asked the management of the training center to apply to learn to drive the loader, there was a great surprise from them, especially since it is an effort on any girl, but after presenting my request to the management of the training center, I found a welcome and support for me and joined the training on driving the loader and learn about all the basic tasks that follow during driving and check the stomach before operating it for the availability of safety means during driving.
She continued: I found great support from my husband, unlike the community that faced my desire to bully me, but this was an incentive for me to achieve my ambition, especially as I was putting my children in front of my eyes to find a source of income to help me with my husband in completing their treatment journey and not need anyone.
After receiving my driver ’ s license, I will seek to find a real job opportunity within a company that values women ’ s work, especially as I seek to develop my life for the better.
Noureddine Ahmed Mostafa Darwish, a heavy equipment trainer at the Assiut training center, said that the center provides training services for a number of equipment and trades, including training equipment on loaders, excavators and other heavy equipment, but for the first time in Assiut, a woman is applying to learn to drive a loader.
Noureddine added that “Noura ” was quick to respond during the training period due to her love for this profession and this helped greatly in passing the tests and showed proficiency in the speed of receiving information and going through the experience without fear or hesitation and I did not face any difficulties in training her only at the beginning because she is a woman undergoing a huge experience as a heavy stomach driving for the first time but she excelled after.
When Noura applied for a heavy equipment driving course, we asked her to think and slow down on this matter, especially as she was the first woman to apply for such courses, but we found her determination to take this course, so we presented the matter to the head of the agency, who welcomed the order and asked us to support her.

Women break into construction sector to fill labour shortages
Bloomberg: The number of construction workers in the United States exceeded 1 million in May last year, for the first time since data collection began in 1964, and the share of women among workers in the sector reached its highest level at 14.1 percent last month.
About a third of construction workers in the United States are Hispanic, according to BLS.
Cerato herself got to know the industry at an early age through her Mexican immigrant father, saying, “I used to go out to work with him, and I never saw anyone like me, so it never occurred to me that it could be a viable career path. ”
The presence of another Latina as a mentor made a big difference, she said, adding: “That ’ s why our representation is important. ”
One of the women is Andy Dirkschneider, who negotiates millions of dollars in loans to buy land for her family ’ s homebuilder, but sometimes vendors call her “petite ” and ask to speak to the man in charge.
Dirkschneider, 32, who heads Brookline Homes in Charlotte, said: “I tell them I ’ m the man in charge.
A young blonde girl doing this job confuses everyone.
It ’ s frustrating, but it can ’ t be allowed to. ”
Dirkschneider and thousands of women like her are breaking through the walls of the professions.
It is not brittle, it is concrete.
The field of construction has always been a world for men, from handicrafts such as construction and carpentry to the offices of developers and executive companies.
The accelerating wave of retirement of the 1960s and 1970s generation has exacerbated the industry ’ s chronic labor shortage.
Construction jobs totaled 440,000 in April, the highest in Bureau of Labor Statistics records that began in 2001.
Aryan Higuish, a senior researcher and fellow at the Women ’ s Policy Research Institute, said there is room for growth, because the construction sector ’ s historical dependence on men now risks constraining its growth.
The institute estimates that about a third of women in the industry work in deals, and their share across sectors such as painting and carpentry is still as small as a tenth, though Higuish believes it will continue to grow.
This is partly because of the need for labor and because states and local administrations want to see more diversity in companies when they are awarded contracts.
Patrice Haley, of the diversity leadership team at construction giant DPR, said: “In this industry, we can ’ t dismiss people on the basis of gender.
“A lot of veterans are retiring, and we can ’ t leave any of the doors closed. ”
One of the temptations for women in the industry, Haley said, was to see what they were building right in front of their eyes, and she had started working in the industry in a manual job that required wearing a helmet and toe boots.
She said, "I can say I worked on this and built that."
There ’ s also the temptation to pay better than many other jobs that don ’ t require a college degree: In 2021, the average salary of an electrician was $59,000 and $98,500 for a construction manager, according to U.S. Department of Labor data.
Taqiya Wallace, 35, works for a large energy company in tracking construction project documents.
But she dreams of getting a license as a general contractor to start working on her own.
In June, I began studying building skills in a 16-week curriculum organized by Goodwill Industries in South Piedmont, Charlotte, where I learned to read blueprints and handle equipment.
If all goes according to plan, she will finish training with four industry certifications.
Although Goodwill does not target women, its organizers say a group of 15 people who completed training last year were all women, about half of whom went on to work in industry jobs.
Wallace, who was the first to receive a college degree in her family, sees getting a contractor ’ s license and hanging a sign for her company as a way to build the wealth she can bequeath to her family.
She said, “I want to be able to tell them this is our legacy. ”
Harassment and discrimination
Despite these encouraging trends, the sector still has a long way to go.
About a quarter of respondents to a survey of 2,635 workers conducted by the Women ’ s Policy Research Institute last year said they had experienced sexual harassment or repeated harassment on the basis of sex.
Half of those surveyed said that their lack of equal treatment by men was frequent or persistent.
Jenny Parker stood at a construction site in High Point, North Carolina, on a very hot day in July, grabbing a paper cup with an iced drink as she looked at her sawdust, paint and sweat stained shirt and said, "I love this.
It took me 10 years to get here. ”
Parker, who spent nine years in the Marine Corps, was upset by the managerial jobs she worked so she could pay her bills while raising her daughter, so she started working hard in real estate.
She signed up for training in building skills so she could repair the rental housing she owned.
At High Point, Parker received hands-on training in building house structures, performing stone work, and installing roofs.
She said she was able to work in partnership with the men on the team, but there were tensions at times, adding: “To be female in a male environment you have to prove yourself and work twice as hard, ” noting that some men do not accept instructions from a woman.
She said, “It ’ s a mindset that men should overcome. ”
Nicole Goulsby, owner of Red Ladder Residential, a construction company in Raleigh, North Carolina, recalls that when she started running worksites, some men ignored her when she addressed them.
She said her experience of bias faded when she distributed her signed paychecks, and she now notes that there are more women on the crews she contracts, whether they ride boards or paint.
Golsby explained that women build relationships easily and are more attentive to details, making them suitable for her field of work.
Nicknamed “Becky Nicky, ” Golsby said,“ I see things that no one else sees, and that ’ s why I do my job well. ”
The construction industry is also attracting more minority women.
An analysis by the Women ’ s Policy Research Institute found that the number of female construction apprentices between 2016 and 2019 nearly doubled, while Latinas recorded the largest increase of any race.
If we look at Ferridiana Cerato who graduated from college in 2020 with a double major in history and Spanish without being able to find any job that would enable her to benefit from her education well, she decided to try construction management.
Cerato took courses and received some certificates, including a certificate in welding.
She is now a project engineer in Indianapolis.
The job requires toughness, the 24-year-old says, with a lot of conversational “that doesn ’ t conform to HR rules ” and dealing with cynicism at times.
Cerato is one of three women in a team of nine managers and the only Latina among them.

How has the gender balance in the construction and maritime industries changed over recent decades?

What are construction and maritime companies doing to promote and aid women in the field?

Why are construction and maritime industries more popular with women nowadays?

Cerato herself got to know the industry at an early age through her Mexican immigrant father, saying, “I used to go out to work with him, and I never saw anyone like me, so it never occurred to me that it could be a viable career path.”

Please agree to our privacy policy in order to enable news listening.
(China Central News Agency, Wang Shu-fen, Taipei, 24th) The COVID-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a global upsurge in shipping, and the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war has caused shipping companies to face a serious shortage of crew. The Port Authority has launched a "Seafarer Nova Training Program", and Taiwan's seven major airlines have come to snatch people.
The MOU signing ceremony was held today by the Port Authority. This is the first time that the Authority has cooperated with social organizations, shipping operators, maritime colleges and government departments to promote the cultivation of talents in the maritime industry in Taiwan, while taking into account social welfare.
Seven major shipping companies, including Evergreen Shipping, Yangming Shipping, Wan Hai Shipping, Yu Civil Aviation Shipping, China Steel Express, Guangming Shipping, and Shibang Shipping, fully supported the "Seafarer Rising Star Incubation Program" and sent people to attend the MOU signing event today.
Yang Ming shipping chairman Zheng Zhenmao said frankly, now the lack of crew situation is very serious, shipping companies are in the fight, hope that more young people in Taiwan into the shipping industry, now the average salary of the crew is NT $80,000 to 90,000 per month, the captain has more than 300,000 yuan, is a high-income job, about 3 months of vacation time every year, there are more and more women to join.
Zheng Zhenmao said that the current maritime industry and everyone's imagination is very different, like the high-tech industry at sea, a container ship is hundreds of millions of dollars, with modern equipment, the crew's working environment is comfortable, not only has its own private room, there is also a billiard room, gym, but also provides 5G communication services, and the crew can video with their families every day.
Li Deren, assistant director of the Yangming Maritime Shipping Department, who once served as a captain, said that the world's shipping companies have been short of crew, and the gap has become larger after the outbreak, especially after the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the situation is more serious, because about 15% of the world's crew are from Ukraine and Russia.
According to the Bureau of Shipping and Port Administration, the main reason for the shortage of passengers is that due to the epidemic control in various countries, the crew will have quarantine problems and vaccination problems, and they will not be allowed to leave the ship at will. Cooperate to train crew for subsequent operational needs.

After passing the intensive training of the Class B, they can work on the ship and improve the family environment.

Grain farmer Qiu Jiebo
High efficiency chain extension
Our reporter is calm.
"As long as we find the right way, there is a great future for agriculture," said Qiu Jiebo, an 85-year-old in Qinyan Village, Henghe Town, Cixi City, Zhejiang Province.
University mechanical engineering graduate, he returned to the village in 2010, registered a family farm, planting wheat, rice and other food crops, and now has been dealing with crops for more than 10 years.
Gideon has a good policy.
The city will give 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year to college students under the age of 35 who return to their hometown to start businesses.
Qiu Jiebo said that many young people have gone out to work, and the village still relies on machinery and technology to grow land.
In June 2020, Qiu Jiebo purchased the first unmanned rice transplanter in Cixi City, relying on Beidou positioning system and Internet of Things technology to “intelligently upgrade ” the traditional rice transplanter. Qiu Jiebo lamented:“ The intelligent agricultural machine can plan the optimal route by itself, complete automatic rice transplanting, intelligent obstacle avoidance, turning and other operations, which is very convenient! ”
In Cixi, the late rice harvest begins in early November every year, which is also the busiest day of Qiu Jiebo - receive the study tour team during the day, take the students to experience cutting rice, beating rice, drying, and grasp the processing of rice at night, packaging finished rice.
"Last year, I planted more than 200 mu of rice, all of 'Jiahe 218' high-quality japonica rice, each mu yield of thousands of jin, half sold to the grain warehouse, about 1.5 yuan per jin. The rest of the processing sold to the market." Qiu Jiebo said of the grain industry is very proud.
Over the years, he registered a trademark and took the brand route, "our rice can sell 3.5 to 4 yuan per catty, and the husk is provided to the farmers as feed, 7 yuan per catty, and the gross profit can reach more than 100,000 yuan a year."
From planting to hosting, to processing and sales, and rice paddies to study, Qiu Jiebo tasted the sweetness of elongating the food industry chain.
The town is a key food producing area in Cixi City.
In the past two years, the town has set up a professional cooperative association of Jinsui Agricultural Machinery Service Co., Ltd., and the young Qiu Jiebo was elected as the head of the association. Grain farmers integrate into the modern agricultural industry chain.
Qiu Jiebo said confidently: "We will definitely expand the area of grain growing."
A few days ago, the farm has signed a new transfer contract for 300 acres of land.
Next, we must strengthen rice processing, carry out socialized services, and let more farmers meet a bumper harvest through mechanized grain growing. "

2021 / 08 / 29 22: 06
A pair of 17-year-old twins, Tsai Ming-han and Tsai Ming-hua, were influenced by their grandfather and father in the construction industry. They became interested in construction from a young age. They first obtained the "Heavy Machinery Operator - Excavator" certification last year and the year before. They joined the ranks of freak drivers. And...
Cai Minghan, Cai Minghua from childhood to see his father 's work, no stranger to construction, see the strange driver manipulate 15, 20 tons of heavy machinery feel "cool", from the Internet learned that at the age of 16 can take the strange hand certificate, they signed up for class together, after 32 hours of training, Although they often have to work in the hot sun, the two brothers are not afraid of hard work, and are happy to work part-time to make money as a leisure activity.
Cai Ming-hua says that unlike driving, Cai Ming-hua has to maneuver two joysticks, perform eight movements at a time, and rotate the car body and lift the boom according to the terrain of the construction site.
His older brother, Tsai Ming-han, studied business management at Chiayi High School. In addition, he has three computer and accounting licenses. He says that he can gain work experience and explore his career path by working part-time.
His younger brother, Tsai Ming-hua, who studied civil engineering at Paihe, is very interested in civil engineering, and usually watches videos of other strange hands and drivers, and tries to make his own videos of strange hands' working days, and runs a Youtube channel for the company.
Tsai Hsien-cheng, head of the Han-hua Construction Company, says that although he has to work under the hot sun and work hard, he can let his sons know how hard it is to make money and become self-reliant, and at the same time encourage them to try and find their own interests.

Jinshan ’ s most expensive “buyout ” landlord smashed 410,000 renters this year
Cryptocurrency platform FTX CEO arrested, extradited back to the United States, Stanford parents implicated
Fewer fines, fewer accidents, more female truck drivers, more and more attention.
In response to the increasing demand for truck drivers, more and more women are joining the ranks of drivers.
According to the Ministry of Labor, there were about 3.1 million truck drivers in 1999, and 4.9% were women. In 2021, there were nearly 3.5 million truck drivers, and 7.9% were women.
The number of female drivers has increased by 80% over the past 20 years. Maggie Selagea is one of thousands of women joining the industry.
In 2008, during the Great Depression, Selagea ’ s construction company went bankrupt, and she turned to the trucking industry, which was not easily affected by the economic downturn.
She became head of the transportation company Mega Load.
The company is headquartered in Chicago and ships throughout the country.
Selagea said, “I grew up with nine brothers and became a car lover.
I take care of my car and I want people who work with me to do so.
Selagea ’ s experience reflects the impact women have had on the transportation industry.
Rhonda Hartman, a member of the American Trucking Association, which recruits women and advocates for Women in Motion, said women drivers prefer safe driving, cherish equipment, have fewer fines and fewer accidents, and thus reduce litigation costs and insurance costs for trucking companies.
This view is supported by the analysis of the 2022 Women in Trucking Index.
The data shows that women often choose to avoid risk and focus more on safety than men.
In addition, women often have excellent multitasking and organizational skills, strong communication, patience, focus and reliability.
Matt Hart, CEO of the Illinois Trucking Association (ITA), agrees, saying there is a national driver shortage and the ITA is trying to recruit more women and form “road teams. ”
Its members must have exemplary driving records and good communication skills.
Hartman was one of the members.
She visited the White House to talk to President Biden.
She regularly offers driving lessons and travels the country as a seminar instructor.
Hart also said that because more trucks are now equipped with automatic transmission, which reduces the physical requirements, making it easier for women to drive.
Both Selagea and Hartman are excited to see more female drivers on board.
“Women ’ s participation has made the industry better, ” Hartman says, even though women are currently paid less.
On average, male truck drivers earn about $61,000, while female truck drivers earn only $52,000.
When the working environment is overwhelmingly male, female drivers may face backlash and stress due to gender.
To that end, Cornilla Johnson, who is training to drive a Class A vehicle, said, “Be confident in what you ’ re doing and who you are. ”
As a woman, you can definitely get through difficult times. "As a single mother, she likes this flexibility in working hours and makes herself more confident.

Fang Fang started as a cleaner in the construction site, "cleaning, emptying the garbage, wiping the table ah these", monthly income of 15,000 to 16,000 yuan, more than a year later in order to improve the income, she decided to test the card to become a "robot", "I look at their machine, I feel that the artificial higher a little easier, so I asked the masters, I asked him whether there are women to do you In this line of work, the master said yes, but less, I heard him say yes, and my heart was a little excited, so I thought that I would try it myself."
So Fang Fang spent more than 1,000 yuan, and successfully obtained the license of excavator (dump truck), roller and "fork truck" (stacker, crane).
She first drove 3 tons of small excavator, but due to lack of experience, the daily salary is only 1,000 yuan, less than the market price of 1,200 yuan, "they just learned it, the technology is not good, just came out of it is not suitable, almost a week to adapt, for a novice is indeed a little difficult."

As for supporting Fang Fang, who is still working hard, is the two sons, "I don't work hard, who supports my children?"
Who can I rely on?
Make money on your own and be safe. ”
The two sons who support Fang Fang are still working hard. (YouTube channel “Your Smile is Original in Hong Kong ”)
Because of the high property prices in Hong Kong, it is difficult to afford, Fang Fang spent more than 300,000 yuan 10 years ago to buy a house in Chongqing, and she wishes that her two sons finish college and can support themselves to start a family, she will return to Chongqing to live in retirement, "when it is time to buy a land at home, build a house, raise chickens and ducks, dig fish ponds and grow vegetables, the ideal life is like this."

Ten years ago, a hero fell in the moment of victory. Over the past 10 years, his spirit has continued to inspire the strength to forge ahead.
On November 23, 2012, China's first generation of carrier-based fighter J-15 took off and successfully landed, which attracted the world's attention.
Two days later, Luo Yang, general manager of the development site of the J-15 carrier-based aircraft, and chairman and general manager of the Shenfei Company of the China Aviation Industry Group, died of a sudden illness and tragically died.
Over the past 10 years, more than 15,000 Luoyang Youth Commandos have been set up throughout the system, covering various positions such as scientific research, production, testing, flight testing, service support, and epidemic prevention and control.
The Shenfei Company of the China Aviation Industry Corporation has set up 1969 "Luoyang Youth Commandos" in the places where Luoyang has fought, and the members have raised the banner of aviation service to the country, rooted in the development of aviation equipment, and made achievements in overcoming difficulties and making achievements.
Recently, four team members were interviewed by our reporter, telling how to let youth shine in the hot practice of building an aviation power.
Fang Wenmo — —
Do the little things to the extreme.
Twenty years ago, a big man with a height of 1.88 meters walked to the machine tool, causing the old master to shake his head: "This boss, and the height of the operating table does not match, dry fitters do not think what fame."
It took 10 years for the big man to win the national youth vocational skills competition fitter champion.
He also created a precision named after himself - "Wen-ink Precision."
He is the chief skills expert of China Aviation Industry Group, and Fang Wenmo of the standard parts center of Shenfei Company.
Fang Wenmo was born into a family of workers in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. At the age of 19, he graduated from technical school and was assigned to the Shenfei company with the first grade in the class.
Fang Wenmo's branch factory is responsible for processing parts for aircraft control systems.
If the plane is to fly safely, no rivets can go wrong.
From the first day of work, Fang Wenmo is determined to "do the best fitter in the country".
He converted the balcony of his home into a studio and immersed himself in hard work whenever he had time.
During the heat, sweat dripped down his hair and his clothes were soaked in sweat.
He focused on the parts in his hand, often skipping meals for more than 10 hours and relying only on water to supplement his physical strength.
Under normal circumstances, the fitter will change about 10 files a year, and Fang Wenmo has changed more than 200 files a year.
The limit of manual filing accuracy on the textbook is 0.01 mm, and the processing accuracy of square ink can reach 0.003 mm, which is equivalent to 1 / 25 of the diameter of the hair, which is called "ink accuracy".
Such precision, how to do? "Precision processing, is relying on ordinary hard work, master a certain muscle memory to complete, we call this skill 'human knife in one'." Fang Wenmo told reporters.
In 2013, Shen Fei Company named a team in his name, "Wenmo Class", which made Fang Wenmo feel more burdened.
Once, the factory handed an emergency processing task to the "Wenmo class", this task is difficult and high risk, and a slight carelessness in the process of processing will lead to the scrapping of parts.
Just when everyone was unable to make any progress, Fang Wenmo immediately decided to "transplant" a technical achievement he was tackling into this processing task.
After dozens of rounds of research, Fang Wenmo led everyone to determine the best processing parameters, and the trial parts were processed and molded.
In the end, the overall task was completed five days earlier than expected.
Fang Wenmo is a member of the first group of Luoyang Youth Commandos, and many members of the Wenmo squad have joined the commandos one after another.
In the practice room on the second floor of the standard parts factory of the Shenfei company, the wooden floor under the operation table was whitened by footprints, and the stainless steel workbench next to it left sweat stains.
With superb skills, "Wenmo class" has become the company's "special forces".
On one occasion, 20 or 30 people came to Shenfei's finished parts factory, holding two parts that could not be assembled, and they could not understand what the problem was. Yang Guoxin of the "Wen Mo Class" stood out and after detailed diagnosis and filing, he and his colleagues solved the problem in less than two hours.
In the past 10 years, the "Wenmo class" has tackled more than 150 topics and coordinated more than 40 technical problems, solving a number of aviation products high-precision processing problems.
Fang Wenmo often said: "Treat the product as a handicraft, treat the profession as a career, and do the small things to the extreme, everyone will become a big country craftsman."

Special treatment for "intractable diseases"
The aluminum sheet he processed can reach 0.1 mm as thin as A4 paper; the milling machine he processed reaches 0.005 mm; his small hole reaming technology can reach the accuracy limit of 0.002 mm … … Wang Gang, the chief skills expert of China Aviation Industry Group and the milling man of Shenfei CNC processing factory, has been working for more than 20 years to challenge the technical limit.
Wang Gang grew up near the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, often running after the track of the plane in the sky, and gradually sprouted "aviation dream" in his young heart. In 1999, Wang Gang, who graduated from the Shenfei Technical School, entered the Shenfei Company as a miller.
He arrived at the post an hour early every morning and studied hard and quickly became a skilled technician.
At an exchange meeting, Wang Gang learned that a foreign company can achieve the minimum processing wall thickness of 0.25 mm finishing, and at that time the Shenfei company can only reach the accuracy of 0.3 mm.
"They can do it, we can do it, and we have to surpass them."
Soon after, Wang just began to carry out intensive processing experiments.
After nearly a hundred attempts, he challenged the processing wall thickness to only 0.1 mm.
But Wang Gang is not satisfied, and after repeated experiments, he ushered in his own skills new height - milling machine milling processing of the manual accuracy of 0.005 mm. "Only hard study, diligent exercise, always adhere to excellence, in order to create magic in the ordinary," Wang Gang told reporters.
Wang Gang became one of the first members of the Luoyang Youth Commando.
He is obsessed with solving problems, specializing in "difficult and complicated diseases", and is known as the "magic doctor" on the production line.
Once, a newly developed aircraft entered the final assembly stage, the installer found that the connecting shaft was not inserted into the assembly, and production was forced to stagnate.
In an emergency, everyone thought of Wang Gang.
Wang Gang hurried to the scene, straight up to the tall fuselage of the plane, from time to time with his fingers tapping parts and listening carefully, finally, his eyes stopped on a few parts of the surrounding area of the assembly.
He made these parts simple finishing, and finally, the wing and the fuselage successfully completed docking, and the fighter showed a fierce shape.
Over the past 20 years, Wang Gang has led a large number of young workers to grow into talents. In 2010, Shen Fei established the first team named after employees, "Wang Gang Class", which took on a large number of tasks. In 2011, Shen Fei also established "Wang Gang Labor Model Innovation Studio", which provides technical support for scientific research and production, and further training of skills.
Tian Fang — —
Tighten the quality of this string
In the factory of Shenfei Company, it is necessary to ask who the only female monitor in the factory is, and no one does not know the answer.
A short hair, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a blue tooling, a party member badge on her chest, she is Tian Fang, a senior technician of aircraft rivet assembly, and the youngest team leader in the history of Shenfei.
In 2004, the 18-year-old Tian Fang graduated from the first place in the technical school and entered the Shen Fei department assembly factory. "In fact, I learned to be a fitter in the school. The fitter is a single workpiece grinding, finishing, processing, but the rivet fitter needs to assemble all parts together into parts, belonging to the field of aircraft assembly." Tian Fang told reporters And...
The drawings are more complex and the tools are as many as hundreds... In the face of new work that has never been touched before, Tian Fang comprehensively "remedied lessons" from theoretical knowledge to practical operation, learning by doing with the master during the day, and taking notes home after work at night to continue digesting, refining and summarizing.
In this way, Tian Fang quickly mastered the essentials of work, the average person from apprentice to independent operation takes 8 months to 1 year, she only spent 3 months. In May 2005, Tian Fang became part class leader.
Tian Fang admitted: "As a female monitor, she is relatively young, saying that no pressure is impossible." She set herself a small goal: to become a generalist on the production line.
In a year and a half, Tian Fang comprehensively improved his personal business ability and mastered the whole class process.
After that, no matter which procedure in the squad encountered difficulties, she was able to help with it.
Once, in the assembly of a certain type of machine, the team found that this product material is extremely special, and there is no suitable processing tool.
Tian Fang led everyone to look through the data, select different kinds of tools, try a variety of angles, and finally solve the problem of hole making assembly of special materials.
Another time, an important part can not be installed, if you want to re-furnace manufacturing, the cost is high, but also delay the production node.
Tian Fang volunteered to the superior: "Let me try." She and the workers together, will be more than 60 parts all decomposed, one by one measurement, and then re-assembled, and finally completed the assembly task with quality and quantity, a part is not wasted.
For Tian Fang, member of Luoyang Youth Commando, dealing with urgent, difficult and dangerous tasks is "routine". "In fact, the characteristics of riveting is often to deal with various assembly errors, this work is extremely complex, requires patience and meticulous." Tian Fang said that in the face of difficult problems, there is only one choice, that is, "production node and cycle is military order, I can not let production stop in my hands."
Over the years, whether it is carrying back and forth, repeatedly installing dozens of pounds of components, or working overtime for several months to complete the model task, Tian Fang never flinched.
Working on the assembly line for 18 years, Tian Fang has always tightened the quality of this string, there has been no problem of product excess, and the excellent yield has been maintained at more than 99%, which is a veritable "quality benchmark".
The team she led also won the “National Quality Trusted Team ” twice in 2015 and 2017 respectively.
Looking back 10 years ago, in the development of the J-15, Tian Fang and team members continued to eat and live in the unit for several months.
"I clearly remember what Luo said at the scene: 'In the future, all of you are heroes,'" Tian Fang said.
In her view, the promotion of aviation science and technology self-reliance, inseparable from scientific and technological innovation, but also inseparable from the spirit of craftsmen.
In the future, she will also drive more young cadres to participate, implement technological innovation to the production line, create more high-precision products, and make greater achievements.
Sun Zhiqiang — —
Taste the sweetness of innovation
"There is no parking lot in the air, and there is no regret for the test flight." People familiar with Sun Zhiqiang know that he often hangs this sentence on his lips.
As an assembler of Shenfei, Sun Zhiqiang is mainly responsible for the installation and commissioning of the aircraft control system.
In his words, the job is like a neurosurgeon and circulatory physician in aircraft manufacturing, and once a cable is short-circuited and a catheter is blocked, it will directly threaten the safety of the pilot and the aircraft.
"I am responsible for the electrical debugging, there are many problems that can not be detected by visual methods, in addition to the use of measuring instruments, but also need to accumulate a lot of experience."
"The best way to do this is to record every problem you encounter," Sun said. Sun Zhiqiang said that at first he was the only one to remember, and then the whole team developed this good habit.
Now, everyone in the team has two or three records, and they can share experiences when they encounter difficulties.
Sun Zhiqiang, 36, is an “old master ” in the eyes of workers. For more than 10 years, he has participated in the research and development of various types of domestic fighter aircraft, and has summarized and extracted more than 70,000 words of handouts and more than 150 hand-drawn“ zero error assembly drawings ”.
Damping parts is a unique type of rod device for shipboard aircraft, and the installation and debugging of damping parts has been called "old and difficult".
Everyone jokingly said: as long as you see more than 10 people gathered in the factory, do not ask, it must be installing damping parts.
Sun Zhiqiang told reporters that the damping rod is heavy and long, about 200 kilograms, and at least 10 people are required to carry out installation and commissioning.
Because the manpower is very tired for a long time, it must rest for a while, so it generally takes 1 day to install.
At the same time, in the debugging process, it is necessary to measure the stroke value, and the original visual manual line drawing method is very low in efficiency and accuracy.
In the face of this urgent technical problem, Sun Zhiqiang took the initiative to act.
He led the members of the "Luoyang Youth Commando" to inspect the original assembly and debugging process of the damping parts on the spot, record the operation content of each step in detail, and fully listen to the suggestions and ideas of the operators.
After collecting this information, Sun Zhiqiang organized the team members to conduct a "brainstorm": can the manual marking be changed to indirectly determine the scale?
How to control the filling amount of gas?
After heated discussion, they proposed the introduction of "aircraft damping parts installation and commissioning driving" and "damping parts buffer pillar compression stroke measuring instrument" two kinds of equipment ideas.
The members used their strengths, worked together, combined with the innovative method of simulation analysis of digital simulation assembly, and manufactured the driving and measuring instruments.
In the field practice, the number of operators dropped to 3, and the efficiency of the installation was greatly improved. "The success of the small test knife made me taste the sweetness of innovation." Sun Zhiqiang said.
Sun Zhiqiang insisted on using the craftsman spirit to decorate a "big power heavy weapon", and in 2021 he won the National May 1 Labor Medal.
Sun Zhiqiang said: "Every time I see myself involved in the manufacture of the battle eagle, I feel extremely proud!"

Journalist Tsai Pei-min / reporting from Yunlin
In recent years, Taiwan Power has vigorously recruited new and external technical personnel, and given sufficient education and training, in order to fill the manpower vacancy in advance, so that the replacement of old power distribution equipment can be carried out smoothly according to the progress.
The distribution of Yunlin District 64 students a total of 19 including 1 female student Liang Yating, with the advent of the female power era, to maintain the distribution line in Yunlin District power supply stability, will no longer be the monopoly of boys, Taipower women can also not let eyebrows.
Yunlin County area is located on the southern shore of the Tuoshui River and adjacent to the Taiwan Strait, the power distribution equipment has been eroded by salt dust for many years, plus the strong northeast monsoon from October to March each year, and the aging speed of the power distribution equipment has been relatively accelerated.
In recent years, due to the impact of the ebb tide in the workplace, the external personnel of Taiwan Power Company have retired or aged, and the skills of some jobs have gradually broken down.
In view of this, in recent years, Taiwan Power has vigorously recruited new foreign technical personnel and given sufficient education and training.

Hsu Yi-niu, director of the Yunlin District Office of the Taiwan Power Company, says that the district office has arranged for new trainees to work on the site, so that the trainees can understand the future work environment in advance. Become a qualified engineer.
Yunlin District No. 64 female student Liang Ya-ting before entering Taiwan Power Company, engaged in the work of Taiwan Power outsourced human computer data processor. In order to help Ya-ting, the District Office specially arranged three students to join the pole work. These three are the line class Jiang Shu-Lin, Cai Wan-Xu, and construction class Gao Jiajun. He learned how to climb a pole and pull a wire before he could become an official engineer of the Taiwan Electric Power Company.
Taiwan Power Company Yunlin District Office pointed out that the general cognitive external maintenance work is more suitable for "boys", the same is to climb the pole to reach for things, boys have a height advantage, but the smaller body of girls, it must spend more strength and pace than others, in order to achieve the same results.
But the advantage of girls is careful, in a team, a lot of tasks need to be completed by people, some people have strength, but like girls are more careful, will notice more details to complete the work more smoothly.

Fewer fines, fewer accidents, more female truck drivers, more and more attention.
In response to the increasing demand for truck drivers, more and more women are joining the ranks of drivers.
According to the Ministry of Labor, there were about 3.1 million truck drivers in 1999, and 4.9% were women. In 2021, there were nearly 3.5 million truck drivers, and 7.9% were women.
The number of female drivers has increased by 80% over the past 20 years. Maggie Selagea is one of thousands of women joining the industry.
In 2008, during the Great Depression, Selagea ’ s construction company went bankrupt, and she turned to the trucking industry, which was not easily affected by the economic downturn.
She became head of the transportation company Mega Load.
The company is headquartered in Chicago and ships throughout the country.
Selagea said, “I grew up with nine brothers and became a car lover.
I take care of my car and I want people who work with me to do so.
Selagea ’ s experience reflects the impact women have had on the transportation industry.
Rhonda Hartman, a member of the American Trucking Association, which recruits women and advocates for Women in Motion, said women drivers prefer safe driving, cherish equipment, have fewer fines and fewer accidents, and thus reduce litigation costs and insurance costs for trucking companies.
This view is supported by the analysis of the 2022 Women in Trucking Index.
The data shows that women often choose to avoid risk and focus more on safety than men.
In addition, women often have excellent multitasking and organizational skills, strong communication, patience, focus and reliability.
Matt Hart, CEO of the Illinois Trucking Association (ITA), agrees, saying there is a national driver shortage and the ITA is trying to recruit more women and form “road teams. ”
Its members must have exemplary driving records and good communication skills.
Hartman was one of the members.
She visited the White House to talk to President Biden.
She regularly offers driving lessons and travels the country as a seminar instructor.
Hart also said that because more trucks are now equipped with automatic transmission, which reduces the physical requirements, making it easier for women to drive.
Both Selagea and Hartman are excited to see more female drivers on board.
“Women ’ s participation has made the industry better, ” Hartman says, even though women are currently paid less.
On average, male truck drivers earn about $61,000, while female truck drivers earn only $52,000.
When the working environment is overwhelmingly male, female drivers may face backlash and stress due to gender.
To that end, Cornilla Johnson, who is training to drive a Class A vehicle, said, “Be confident in what you ’ re doing and who you are. ”
As a woman, you can definitely get through difficult times. "As a single mother, she likes this flexibility in working hours and makes herself more confident.
