KW from MB- amended

 Lots of long haul trucks make their way to Halifax, but they usually don't stay long enough for a photo. This Kenworth from Manitoba was an exception this morning.

Running for Jiffy Express Inc of Winnipeg it is hauling an unusual curtain side trailer. Common in Europe, these trailers are gradually becoming more popular in this country due to the ease of side loading and unloading with a forklift. Barely visible in the photo is the "man door" fitted in the forward bulkhead of the trailer.

The trailer once belonged to Integrity Express Shipping of Concord, ON but that company's logo and serial number have been removed and another number painted on.

Amendment

Later in the day I caught up with the truck again as it was in process of "swallowing" a container. The trailer is not a typical hard top / curtain side as I originally thought, but a cross between an accordion and a pelican!

Shining Star

A bright and shiny Western Star turned up today at the Fairview Cove terminal. 

Oversize loads such as this are usually imports to Halifax, arriving by ship, but this one is an export. Since I have got into trouble with this company before by identifying loads - yes they actually threatened to sue me! - I will leave this one's operator, shipper and destination a mystery.

(They still have nice trucks.)

Sharp Kenworth

 Sharp Transportation Systems of Cambridge, ON, sent this sharp Kenworth to fetch a container that was likely diverted from Montreal due to a longshoremen's strike,

Nice retro look.

Shiny Liner

This shiny Freightliner showed up today at Fairview in time for an inbound shipment from Europe. 

The rig is running for Transport LDC Inc:
