Paccar Fleet

Kings Produce Ltd, based in Greenwich and Port Williams, Kings County, NS, was formed by several farm producers to distribute their crops. As part of the operation they set up a trucking company, which has a unique characteristic. Unlike most trucking companies that adopt a standard colour scheme, each Kings truck  has a unique, but somewhat similar paint job.



Most of the trucks are Peterbilts, but I see at least one Kenworth - both brands owned by PACCAR (originally Pacific Car and Foundry)  the last of the independent truck builders.

These rigs were parked at their Greenwich truck shop Saturday, getting their weekly washes.

Heavy

M+J Total Transport + Rigging Inc, a division of Mills Heavy Hauling Inc of Halifax has been operating this Mercedes Actros for a few years now. Usually off in some remote area of eastern Canada working on wind turbines or hidden away in an industrial site, it doesn't often make an appearance in the wide open spaces.

Last week it was inside a chain link fence at Pier 9C in Halifax, after a heavy load transfer, but this weekend it appeared in the marshaling area outside the Fairview Cove container terminal. The truck originated with Fahrenholz Industrie in Germany, a company that works with Mills for expediting cargo on the European side of the pond.
