    The loads I did that was the best part. An hour in a tractor dealer full of farmers can be pretty entertaining. Most of them were used machines going to Montreal or Halifax for export. I did get a few dealer trade machines and some direct to purchaser loads. Most of the new stuff was Ford/New Holland out of the Winnipeg plant or area dealers. The used ones came from everywhere.

    Try ag machinery guys. Prince Edward Island is one of those RGN black holes too, but I’ve come off of there with potato harvesters a few times now. Was just a matter of finding the right guy. One I found is a tractor dealer that sells a lot of their trade-ins overseas.

    ---------------------------------------
    Taking "Sylvester" on my rollback for a quick shoulder rollover cleanup ........

    --------------------------------------
    Working a load-shift at the yard with the boss.
    Drop-deck blew a bag, load of light-duty rollback sub-frames and decks shifted badly.
    We are all about safety, so we used a medium & heavy wrecker and the reach-lift in order to fix the issue which was from top of load to the deck ........

    Forgot secured pics again. This is about ready to unload just west of Fort Worth.

    I did pop a strap on this one. First time it has happened to me. The left side 1st layer not really making contact with strap to hold an edge protector but just close enough to one strap to rub it. Popped going across mobile bay at about 2 am. I heard it and saw it but could not pull over until I got out of tunnel and on to water st. Pulled over, replaced the strap checked all the others and drove to nearest truck stop and put several layers of gorilla tape to protect it and it work great rest of trip.
