More Trucks from All Over

 Yesterday and today was time for more trucks from all over the country and even some local ones.

This attractive low rise F'liner with a MAC grain trailer works for WCF which appears to be out of Berwick, Nova Scotia. It was backing in at P+H Milling's flour mill in Halifax, with the Halifax Grain Elevators in the background. The trailer appears to have an interesting suspension with wheels all askew.

As usual there was lots or road transport from the container terminals today.

LFR Logistiques from Levis, QC had this rare Western Star with high rise / aerodynmaic sleeper. It has  reefer equipped skeleton trailer. 

Walmac Trasnportation hails from the southern New Brunswick village of Quispamsis but runs longaul open deck throughout Canada and the USS. Their mid-rise sleeper equipped Pete claims to be "Slow and Early". That scuffed up front bumper is an indication of very high mileage.

Agway Metals Inc of Brampton, ON delivers its metal roofing and siding with this high-rise Volvo, painted in company colours.

This F'liner from Travel Transport of Mississauga, ON was also delivering metal to the same construction project, and showed off how its trailer works for unloading the panels.

Halifax based road construction and maintenance company Ocean Contracting, runs a large truck fleet, painted in a unique green colour, and always spotlessly clean. This day cab Volvo, hauling a low boy from J.C.Trailers has a very small "payload" of a Kubota front end loader.

High Rises

 The previous posts featured trucks with low rise or mid-rise sleeper heights, which stands to reason with the type of trailers and cargoes they were carrying. Today however by chance I came across a number of trucks with high rise sleepers.

Despite the awkward location and terrible light conditions, I couldn't pass up this F'liner COE with high rise sleeper and drom box. AAA Provincial Moving Ltd of Edmonton, AB is running this rig which also features molded fender skirts and some shiny storage lockers.

Another white painted Freightliner showed up in my viewfinder.

CRE Transport of Terrebonne, QC runs this conventional high rise unit with a step deck trailer, likely here to pick up a container.

Also with a step deck trailer, this Kenworth has a nice two tone black and grey paint job. The cab has a 14-007 fleet number, for operator Diversco of Moncton, NB. The company provides propane tanks among its various lines of business.

Trucks from all over

 The Port of Halifax attracts truck traffic of all sorts. There are containers, heavy and oversize loads and some of the trucks come from far away. In the last few weeks I've seen quite a variety, most with step deck trailers.

APT Transport Inc of Winnipeg has been advertising for owner operators, and this mid-rise International appears to be an O/O rig. The curtain in the windshield is a traditional decoration for trucks in India.

RRA Trucking of Surrey, BC, also with a step deck trailer had this basic white Freightliner and mid-rise sleeper.

GTI Group from Lachine, QC has a fleet of Peterbilts with a distinctive paint scheme.  Another step deck, but this one is carrying a well shrouded oversize object.

Gunson Trucking appears to be a one truck company based in the southwestern Ontario farming community of Tara. It runs this beefy Western Star, in Halifax to pick up a new Fendt 828 Vario farm tractor from Germany.

Speaking of Western Stars, Total Transport + Rigging / Mills Heavy Hauling of Halifax runs this veteran 'Star with drop axle.

It was down in the port to pick up a new 45 tonne capacity reach / stacker built by the Chinese company XCMG.

XCMG stands for Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group.

Big Harvester

  A new harvester from the Belgian company Dewulf will soon be on the road behind a Kenworth from Express Mondor of Lanoraie, QC.

The big four row top lifting harvester is equipped with a discharge conveyor (in the up position near the back of the hopper). Express Mondor is in the heart of Quebec farm country, so the harvester could be  destined for work on any number of crops such as carrots or beets.

The interesting trailer has reflectors on the mud guards over each axle.

The beefy looking set-back axle KW has a mid-rise Aerodyne sleeper and is working with a two axle Temisko dolly.
