New, Oldie and Used

 There are still some remarkably old trucks on the road, and some late model used vehicles, with lots of life left in them.

It is hard to tell how old many trucks may be because manufacturers tend to produce the same model for many years. However it is possible to establish a minimum age based on when a model was discontinued. One of the best known truck models of the 20th century was the Ford Louisville produced from 1970 to 1998.

This L8000 may well date from the late years of the model. Aside from the bumper (!) it appears to be in good original condition.

A newer vehicle - possibly year 2000 based on the fleet number, this Western Star is likely en route to Newfoundland. Dutton Transport of Moncton, NB had a sleek looking mid-rise Freightliner hauling the step deck trailer.

A "less used" pair of Western Star day cab tractors were waiting for their next assignments down on the waterfront:

I think they were involved with set up for this Grove 5250L crane:
