Big and Red

 Navistar International seems to be selling more big trucks recently, after years of being mostly invisible in that segment of the business. Kenworth, Peterbilt, Mack and Western Star had that territory to themselves. 

This morning I happened to spot two big Navistars, and by coincidence both were painted red.

Total Transport and Rigging had this three axle job hauling a step deck trailer. The Cummins powered tractor had some nice shiny stuff.

Atlantic Tiltload is running this three axle rig which is dressed up a bit more. It was hauling a four axle Trail King trailer with a Liebherr truck crane, fresh off the boat, for the Sarens Canada crane rental fleet.

That unit, Number 19, is not their only Navistar. I saw another one, Number 301, a few weeks ago:

It was hauling a giant piece of farm machinery, a Grimme Veritron 470 self-propelled harvester. 

Gone are the days when International Harvester was the company name of Navistar International and its trucks were (affectionately?) called "corn-binders".
