My Turnpike

Hello everyone, I took this today. This is my new company truck and my set that I pull. I think in a 137ft. 40 meters.

Here are some pics of Pikes and a Triple I've pulled over the years.

Hey there. I only run the Trans Canada. It's the main Hwy across Canada. I do a run from Wpg to the Alberta border. Haven't crossed into the states since 05 I think. 94 is a heavy lane for Canadian trucks. We have guys that run dedicated down to Minneapolis and Chicago.

For how I understand it. The name comes from the Doubles that run out on the toll ways in Eastern US. Canada started doing this in Alberta in 1969 I think it was. We can pull these into North Dakota but are restricted to 2 48's and a short day cab. But I think in the next few years your gonna see Pikes all over. Way more efficient. I'm hoping they let us start pulling 3 up here in the next coupe years. .
