Dogs for Export - but we keep a few as navigators

In addition to the thriving export market for old school buses and old COE cabs to Cuba, there also seems to be a demand far to our south for old 'dogs.

This pair of Mack R model dump trucks were outbound in February. Originally from New Brunswick, they appeared to have a few years left on them.
At one time they belonged to H. Thomas and Sons.

Today, this Mack appeared, fresh from a Ritchie Bros auction - still with the auction stickers:

Formerly with Fred W. Engelmann of Lennoxville, QC, this one looks ready to roll.

We don't export all our 'dogs, we keep a few around Halifax to act as navigators in our rush hour traffic.
