Quote:
HALIFAX -- Twin 53-ft trailers could soon be rolling all the way from Halifax to the Ontario-Quebec border. Nova Scotia's Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal announced on July 29 that an LCV pilot project could be underway as early as October, allowing LCV (double 53-foot semi-trailers hauled by a single tractor) on selected stretches of highway.
