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!
