Autocar report

It has been some time since I featured an Autocar, simply because I haven't seen any for months. Last Saturday's chance spotting in the Burnside Industrial Park was nicely kitted out for snow plow operation, but was not wearing its plows at the time.

It was instead towing a trailer with a roller onboard. The dump box colour is suggestive of a former Nova Scotia Department of Transportation history, but the white painted cab is a bit of a mystery.

American LaFrance - down for the third time, and out.

Clarke goes big

Despite its recent acquisition by TransForce, Clarke Road Transport has maintained its identity and has unveiled new graphics, in the same scheme as TransForce.

 This sharp new Freightliner was the first truck I saw in the new scheme, spotted March 3.

Clarke is also advertising for drivers with a large billboard at the entrance to the Fairview Cove container terminal. If the photo looks familiar it is because it appeared on Truckfax October 25, 2013: http://truckfax.blogspot.ca/2013/10/clarke-freightliner-and-big-scoop.html and was used with my permission.
