Heads I win, Tails you lose

 It was more aircraft components at Fairview Cove today as two tail assemblies were pulled out on flat bed trailers. We have been accustomed to seeing the smart looking Watson trucks pulling these trailers, but today it was trucks from Total Transport + Rigging, the company that acts as local agents for oversize loads. Watson may pick up the loads from TT+R, but it looks like these ones will be hauled directly by TT+R.

First out was a cleam looking Mack Anthem. It is hauling a Paron trailer, still with a Mills Heavy Hauling sticker. (Mills was the predecessor to TT+R under previous owners).

TT+R trucks, as were Mills trucks before them, are usually painted red, so this may be an owner /operator rig.

A Navistar International equipped with a third axle hauled the second trailer.

The tail assemblies arrive on ships of the Atlantic Container line and are destined for Bombardier's aircraft manufacturing facilities in the Montreal area or Downsview, in the Toronto area. Bombardier used to own the former Short Brothers factory in Belfast, Northern Ireland, but sold it to Spirit AeroSystems in 2020. It seems Bombardier still gets assemblies from Shorts, which ships out of Liverpool, England.
