COEs and Scania in town

 COE trucks are uncommon, and Scania trucks in North America are as rare as the proverbial hen's teeth, but for some reason the Province of New Brunswick seems to have attracted at least two. See previous posts about the conventional straight truck Scania which I last saw in 2015: http://truckfax.blogspot.com/2015/07/road-trip-2-report-1-scnia-freightliner.html

Today, July 7, 2021, I spotted another Scania. Operated by Milltown Trucking from Oak Bay, New Brunswick, it was in Halifax picking up a piece of exotic machinery.

I could only squeeze off this rapid fire shot, (thankfully my windshield was clean enough that the auto focus worked.) The massive COE has a lift axle, typical of Euro trucks, and a high rise sleeper.

For machinery fans, the trailer was a Ross Elephant, beet washer! Too bad I didn't get a front view - it has an array of driving lights sufficient for movie making!

For those who really want a  COE it isn't essential to get one from Europe. Rebuilding a domestic unit from the last century may be the answer. This pristine Navistar was hauling something like ethanol for Fisher Transport, a growing liquid bulk company, better known for its milk tankers.
