The truck is owned by Payne Transportation LP (No Payne, No Gain) part of the Mullen Group. Founded in 2000, Payne, by acquisition has operations in Winnipeg, Fort Saskatchewan, AB and Houston, TX. It has over 200 tractors in its operation. See http://www.paynetransportation.com/
It first customer in 2000 and apparently still a customer is Versatile, makers of articulated 4WD farm tractors since the 1970s. Once part of Ford and then Fiat/New Holland they have been owned by Bühler Industries for some time. Bühler on the other hand has been 80% owned by Rostelmash of Rostov-on-Don, Russia since 2007. With 200 dealers in Russia, Rostelmash imports its tractors from Canada.
The Kenworth is a dandy, with lots of extra fittings for flat deck and long haul. The trailer also carries the outer tires for the farm tractor (which is facing away from the camera) and a certain amount of the white stuff picked up en route.


Each rig departed separately with its own flag car.

I've seen a few white Day & Ross trucks lately but thought they were just oddities. I wonder why they switched from the orange...cost cutting perhaps?
