More high, wide and heavy

 I've seen a number of odd loads in the last few days.

Watson trucks are a familiar sight in Halifax as they are the exclusive carriers for the Bombardier aircraft components. This good looking Peterbilt is typical of the fleet.

Fresh off the ship this wide tail assembly was bound for the Downsview, ON aircraft plant and will have an escort truck. Watson and its US partner Sycamore have now been acquired 100% by the QSL Group. In 2018 QSL partnered with Groupe Robert to acquire the company. QSL, Quebec Stevedoring Ltd, have also acquired Empire Stevedoring, including its operations in Halifax.

This large object would get the award for highest and probably heaviest.

TMF Heavy Haul of Mascouche, QC had the flatbed with the single axle dolly behind their Kenworth.


A couple of Grove crane ballast units were all the cargo this Kenworth from Quebec had on its trailer.


The truck had the name of Young Livestock, St.Pauls ON on its side, but a Quebec plate up front. I suspect that is a previous owner (incidentally from the former Downie Township, the homeland of a maternal ancestor).
