On the Road Towards Carbon Neutral: Canada’s First CNG Ready-Mix Trucks
<p>Welcome to Laying the Groundwork! In this episode, host Francis Brazeau sits down with Lee Timmins, our Manager of Technology, Landfills and Regulatory Affairs, and internal compressed natural gas expert, along with veteran CNG driver Danny Gagne to discuss a major environmental milestone: putting Canada’s first CNG Ready Mix trucks on the road.</p><p>From breaking down what compressed natural gas is to overcoming driver skepticism about power and reliability, Lee and Danny pull back the curtain on Tomlinson’s 50-truck alternative-fuel fleet. The conversation is filled with practical operational insights, a closer look at the infrastructure required, and a few highly entertaining stories from the road.</p><p><strong>Episode Highlights</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Twenty Years to an Overnight Success:</strong> Lee explains the evolution of CNG technology and why it is a cleaner, stably priced Canadian fuel source.</li><li><strong>Inside the Fleet:</strong> Danny breaks down the different trucks running on CNG at Tomlinson, from where it started to the new, historic ready-mix trucks.</li><li><strong>The Ultimate Driver Perk:</strong> Why skipping the freezing-cold, smelly diesel fill-up at the end of a long shift is a massive win for driver retention.</li><li><strong>Debunking the Power Myth:</strong> Danny tackles the ultimate trucker question "What's the power like?"</li><li><strong>The Magic of Zero Regens:</strong> How switching to a cleaner system completely removes the headache of regens.</li><li><strong>Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) & The Circular Economy:</strong> A look into the future of converting landfill waste and organics into carbon-negative fuel.</li><li><strong>Opened to the Public:</strong> How Tomlinson’s Moodie Drive facility is helping smaller local fleets make the green transition with a public fast fuel station.</li></ul><br/><p></p><p><strong>Key Takeaways & Quotes</strong></p><ul><li><strong>On Driver Perks:</strong> “When I come back to the yard and we still have diesel trucks running, and I see the guy standing there and it's raining or minus thirty, I just drive by... grab the nozzle, plug it in... Done.”</li><li><strong>On the Power Myth:</strong> “You can have the fastest car in Ottawa, but there's still a speed limit. There's still potholes.”</li><li><strong>On Environmental Impact:</strong> “You're seeing a twenty to thirty percent reduction in emissions once you move to CNG.”</li><li><strong>On Fleet Maintenance:</strong> “My truck has been down just as much as a diesel truck would have been”</li><li><strong>On Infrastructure:</strong> “That infrastructure can't be understated... we can leverage that existing infrastructure to power our future.”</li><li><strong>On Future Energy:</strong> “Maybe our landfill should be looked at as giant batteries of the future because all the materials in there that we could chemically convert back into an energy source.”</li></ul><br/><p></p><p>Whether you are navigating alternative fuel infrastructure, looking for ways to make your supply chain more sustainable, or just love heavy equipment innovation, this episode delivers a transparent, boots-on-the-ground look at the future of Canadian transit and construction.</p>

Mentoring the Next Generation
<p>Welcome to Laying the Groundwork - the newly rebranded Tomlinson podcast. </p><p>In this inaugural episode, host Francis Brazeau sits down with two of Tomlinson’s longest-serving team members: Dennis Colautti and Andre (Andy) Michaud. With nearly 100years of combined experience, they share candid stories and hard-earned wisdom on mentoring the next generation in construction. </p><p>From family legacies and old-school foremen to modern challenges like training younger team members who may lack field experience, Dennis and Andy pull back the curtain on what it really takes to develop strong, capable leaders at Tomlinson. The conversation is filled with practical advice, funny stories, and valuable lessons on patience, integrity, planning, and building relationships that last. </p><p><strong>Episode Highlights</strong> </p><ul><li>Dennis’s remarkable family story - from his grandfather’s immigration to restarting the family construction business </li><li>Andy’s journey starting at 18 on an iron crew under the “meanest foreman” in the business </li><li>The famous “Padding” story - how a $30k–$40k mistake became one of Dennis’s most important teaching tools </li><li>The 24-Hour Rule: Why patience and calculated responses matter in high-pressure situations </li><li>Old-school wisdom vs. new realities - the importance of field experience, picking up the phone, and building real relationships </li><li>Letting young team members “fail safely” and challenging them to think critically </li><li>Tomlinson’s culture of integrity, customer service, and pride in the work </li></ul><br/><p><strong>Key Takeaways & Quotes</strong> </p><p>On Patience: “I have a twenty-four hour rule… don’t give the answer right away. Sleep on it overnight. Think about it.” </p><p>On Learning from Mistakes: “It was a real big learning curve… I learned my lesson and developed so we weren’t going to have it again.” </p><p>On Mentoring: “Sometimes I’ll let them win one… and let them fail - as long as it doesn’t cost very much money. That way they learn.” </p><p>On Communication: “You don’t just send an email and wait two weeks. Get on the phone. It takes five minutes.” </p><p>On Leadership: “Do the hardest thing first in the morning… Don’t run away from anything.” </p><p>On Tomlinson Culture: “They were never shy about doing the right thing and always supplying the right equipment and the right people.” </p><p>Whether you’re a seasoned leader, a new team member, or someone considering a career in construction, this episode delivers timeless, practical wisdom rooted in decades of real execution. </p><p> </p>
