Big Trucks- Light Loads

A couple of sizable trucks arrived today [October 1] with B-Train loads of roofing insulation for a downtown construction project. The material  was craned off the trucks directly to the roof using a very new looking super boom truck.

First truck in line to unload was this 2014 International RH series, well equipped to meet a moose head on.

The next in line was a shiny black 2016 Kenworth, with an even more robust moose bar.

Both trucks are operated by Transportation Philippe Day Inc of Nouvelle, QC. An interesting company, involved in all forms of heavy transport, but more likely to operate Western Stars.

The unloading was done by this nifty Western Star with a National NBT 45-1 crane. Even though it was an eight story lift, there was lots of extension left over, with a tip height of 206 feet.

It was a tight squeeze on the narrow street, but this big twin steer Pete packer managed to get around with a little direction from the construction workers.
