After the truck show Mark heads out to his sisters farm for a few days rest, before going on to the next truck show. On the way he stops off at Wallenstein's Terminal. Marks family farm is also a customer of Wallenstein Feed & Supply Co.

Wallenstein brings in a great wash crew to keep their fleet in pristine appearance. Not just for the shows, but to maintain their year round cleanliness image. |

After the Wallenstein visit he heads across farm country, checking out this dairy farm on the way. As he drives through the St. Jacobs area, he passes a group of Mennonites headed to a meeting place.

While traveling through the back roads, he comes upon a few random rigs.

Not all trucks and truckers work as in show and shine exhibits. The job is not all hearts and flowers, and sometimes you have to face reality. There are times that it can be extra dirty, but remains a necessary evil, as displayed in the photo on the above right.

Livestock haulers are a group on their own. They are the Greyhound service to traveling animals.

Mark's family's farm is receiving a load of feed from Wallenstein Feed & Supply Co.

It's a pick up this time; a load of eggs
 |
This truck was waiting in front of the farm till morning to pick up a load of piglets from the next door neighbour. The driver works out of Manitoba. He immigrated from Russia to Canada 7 years ago. He was a veterinarian in Russia before coming here and turned trucker. It is a definite advantage when hauling livestock. |
Mark's rest period has come to an end, and it's time to move on to see the next truck show.
