COEs and Droms

 Moving season is a big deal in the Halifax area because many military families are being transferred to new postings before the start of the school year. Moving vans are traditionally the most frequent users of COEs, and dromedary boxes to maximize cubic capacity within the length limits.

Tippet-Richardson is one of the longest standing names in Canada's moving industry. This Freightliner COE is an appropriate representative for the company, particularity with the nice drom box. I am not sure what is going on with the high-rise side window. The unit is from Surrey, British Columbia.

Despite the United Van Lines trailer, the Freightliner COE cab unit is labeled "operated by United  AlliedVan Lines". However there is evidence that some stripes have been peeled off, so the label may be obsolete.

The cab is well worn, with lots of bug stains, rust and an Ontario plate secured with wire ties.
