Trucks from far and wide

 With the wide variety of cargoes coming and going through the Port of Halifax it is not surprising that trucks come and go from all points. Today I spotted one from Saskatoon, SK. Rockport Carrier Co advertises that it has 40 drivers and works across Canada and the 48 United States with more than 100 dry vans and decks.

This Western Star is about as streamlined as they get, featuring the huge fairing over the sleeper, something not usually seen on trucks hauling step deck trailers. 

Behind it is one of Total Transport + Rigging's "trombone" Paron trailers, stretched out to carry an Airbus A220-300 fuselage imported from France and headed for Mirabel, QC. The aluminium-lithium and composite fuselage is secured to a dedicated "trolley", which in turn is secured to the trailer.

Due to road restrictions, the unit only moves out of Halifax at night so I was not able to see what truck was doing the hauling.
