How does your maple syrup wind up on your morning pancakes? This product, so iconically Canadian, is made in remote areas hundreds, sometimes thousands, of kilometers away from your
breakfast table. Well, you might answer “I just go to the super market and pick up a bottle,” which might seem the case. However, that bottle of Canadian goodness has been bottled, labeled,
packaged, and finally shipped to your local store by one of the hundreds of thousands truck drivers on Canada's high ways. That number is no exaggeration; there are currently over
280,000 truck drivers employed in Canada. They ship everything from lumber, to electronics, and of course your maple syrup. The Tertiary sector relies on the goods transported by these
trucks in order to provide better service to its costumers. They rely on quick shipping times, reliable service, and most importantly cost effectiveness, which new technology hopes to
provide. THE TESLA SEMI Representing the next generation of heavy duty ground transportation, the Tesla Semi will revolutionize the trucking industry and the Tertiary sector. Its design has
focused on improving the key factors the trucking industry considers vital to providing the best service; great performance, reliable service, and low-cost operation all while being
environmentally friendly. That’s right, environmentally friendly. These new trucks are jam packed full of new technology. From its independent electric motors, providing instant traction
control, to its enhanced autopilot, this truck is the future. - Capable of accelerating from 0–100 km/h in under 20 seconds, while fully loaded, this semi offers performance that is next to
impossible to achieve with a standard diesel semi, even if it were empty. - The enhanced autopilot offers drivers a safe experience on the road. With its advanced camera and sensor
technology, it helps drivers avoid collisions making the road safer for the driver and the surrounding cars. - Operating cost, which are rising for diesel vehicles due to the rising fuel
costs, are a fraction of its predecessor. It operates at nearly half the cost, $0.85 per mile, compared to a diesel semi, $1.25 per mile. It is estimates that the truck will offer up to
$200,000 in fuel savings and have a 2 year pay back period. This truck does seem fancy with all the new bells and whistles, but what does it mean ultimately for businesses in the tertiary
sector? The safety and performance are nice, but what value does it offer the customers and end user? The simple answer is, it should allow for cheaper products. By keeping operating costs
low and decreasing shipping time, stores will be able to pass the savings along to the customer, something any shopper will love, perhaps even more than their maple syrup. Now all this
vehicle needs is traction, no pun intended. Although expensive to the naked eye, these trucks are very competitively priced to its diesel counterparts. These vehicles are still in early
production, but they are coming. So, if you are in the trucking industry why not take a look and maybe even reserve your own, less expensive produces are something we all can enjoy. Reserve
