    Hi Canadians

    I found this interesting site: http://truckfax.blogspot.ca
    It is a guy blogging about trucks in the city of Halifax. He spots a lot of interesting things because of the ro-ro ferries. This one got me interested:

    http://truckfax.blogspot.ca/2012/12/big-man-in-town.html

    What would a European MAN truck be doing in Canada? I know that you sometime have needs for big COE trucks and you almost can't get any North American COE trucks anymore. And I have read about a few companies going with Mercedes Actros. But Mercedes Actros I can somehow relate to due to Daimlers ownership of Freightliner. That should in theory make it easier to get Mercedes trucks serviced in Canada.

    But these MAN trucks:
    - Can they be serviced in Canada at all?
    - Can they be legally registred?
    - Anyone who know who are using them?

    Hope someone can help me. I'm a little bit curious.

    Kind regards
    Morten

    With Dutch companies like MAMMOETT, all kinds of equipment has been imported into Canada.

    Earl Paddock has been around for about a million years now.

    Maybe they rig them up in Canada, ship them to the Usa or middle east for the oil patch

    Hey, you just stole my post! ;-)

    I was just about to say, a lot of foreign chassis come through here for oilfield service truck conversions and then they're shipped to their final destination. China is a big customer.

    It's possible this thing will be rigged up as a smaller crane truck with a flatbed on it possibly... I have seen a few Mammoett trucks in Ontario...

    Earl Paddock I see them all the time being in Ontario... They got a nice fleet.... If I didn't work the City they would be a company I would look into for work...
