Country and Western (Star) Part 2 of 2

Continuing my road trip, on the return leg through New Brunswick, there was no let up in the number of Stars, but their occupations varied:


Nicely painted for GLF this Star was taking a break in Woodstock, NB with its extra long load of utility poles.


It was travelling in company with two more GLF Stars with similar loads. GLF Inc is based in St-Damien de Buckland, QC.

 This is the prototypical New Brunswick log truck. Somewhat smaller than Quebec trucks and hauling a 3 axle trailer (Quebec has many 4 axle trailers), and wearing a hefty moose bar.

Keith Nicholson + Sons Ltd run this no-rise  sleeper model pulling a Raglan live bottom trailer, out of Clearview, NB. They likely haul potatoes, since they are not far from Florenceville, NB, the capital of potato country.

Long-hauling fish is the likely occupation of this Western Star from Black's Harbour, NB, operated by B.R.S. Trucking Ltd.



Horace Construction is a paving contractor from the Halifax area, but their big twin steer dumper was taking a break at the Aulac, NB,  Irving Big Stop just across the New Brunswick border from Nova Scotia.  (A local Western Star dump truck was working on a Tesla recharging station in the background.)


 Day+Ross from Hartland, NB is a big potato hauler, and this rig, spotted in Debert, NB, was likely taking this seacan to Halifax. Many Day+Ross rigs are owner/operator - company trucks are generally plain jane white. 

More road trip reports to follow.
