Respect, Integrity, Lifestyle

Our Beginning

Started in 2013 as a mere social media page, then group, with focus to provide a platform for drivers, their families, friends and supporters to come together and interact, learn, give advice, exchange resources and more.

​Today, our Facebook media platform is called: Maritime Ride and Pride - The Group

2016 has seen the birth of our very first annual working-truck show & shine, which we have committed to supporting the Amherst NS branch of the Special Olympics.

Who we are

Since our initial appearance on Facebook, we have reached membership of well over 3500 members, and growing strong everyday. Due to the diverse ideologies and beliefs of members, we've opted to create a secondary network; and we also have resources with other Facebook groups.



We include not only drivers and friends, but also other industry-related people such as department of transport employees, diesel technicians, emergency services personnel, and various other related services that on occasion will weigh in with pertinent information on various topics.

​

Also since our beginnings, we have been involved with different fundraisers to help trucking individuals, as well as community groups.

​

​

Our Objectives

As we grow, it is our mission to promote the new-age "Brotherhood", to help guide our future replacements with the fast-evolving changes in the industry.

​

It is also our goal not only to help each other as brothers and sisters, but also to give back to the communities.

​

There's an old saying that goes: Without trucks, we'd be cold, hungry, and naked. But then again, without you, we'd be jobless.

​

So we need you, as much as you need us.

🚨 BREAKING: Canada just turned random trailers into stealth speed traps… and yeah, even the shoulder isn’t safe anymore. 🚛❄️👀

You’re driving past what looks like a normal semi trailer…
parked off to the side…
back doors cracked open…
gray sky… cold wind…
Nothing unusual.

Just another truck pulled over on the 401.
Right?

Wrong. 😭

Because in Canada—
even something sitting quiet in the snow…
might still be working.

You’re cruising down the 401, Trans-Canada, or some long empty stretch…
heat blasting…
roads covered in salt and slush…
speed sitting at a very “just keeping up with traffic” pace…
thinking the road is finally clear…

No cruisers.
No lights.
No stress.

Then you pass it—
that trailer.

And for a split second…
you see something inside.

A shadow.
A movement.
A lens pointed straight at traffic. 👀

Too late. 💀

Because inside that trailer—
is an officer.

Bundled up.
Sitting in the dark.
Door cracked just enough.
Radar cutting through cold air like it’s nothing.

No engine running.
No visibility.
Just… patience.

And a few seconds later—
🚔❄️

Lights behind you.

Because in Canada, it’s not just snowbanks waiting for you…
Sometimes it’s something parked…
looking completely harmless.

So next time you pass a random trailer sitting on the shoulder…
don’t assume it’s empty.

Because Canada might already be inside…
waiting for you to get comfortable. 🚛🚔👀

A photo. A memory. A jacket. When Kallie Siddall reached out asking if we could replicate the Peterbilt New Brunswick jacket her grandfather Norris wore for years, we were honoured to make it happen. This is why we love what we do. Click to read the full story - https://www.peterbiltatlantic.com/blog/a-jacket-full-of-memories--109021

Charles Woodworth has been part of Eassons Transportation Group as a Company Driver for 55 years. Fifty-five years on the road means thousands of safe deliveries, countless early mornings, long nights, changing seasons, and a work ethic that never faded.
Charles, your legacy is not only in the miles you’ve driven, but in the standard you’ve set for generations of drivers who came after you.
It was also a truly special moment as William and Brian Eassons, along with Trevor Bent (CEO), and local dispatch Tushar Makkar, were honored to share and cherish this milestone with you in person. Moments like these remind us that Eassons is more than a company, it is a family.

From all of us at Eassons, thank you for your remarkable dedication and for being such an important part of our story.

110 km/h in Saskatchewan ain’t a speed limit… it’s a dam life contract you sign without reading the fine print…
You set the cruise, settle in… and next thing you know you’ve been staring at the exact same patch of horizon so long you’re starting to think you’re in a painting… like nothing moves… time doesn’t exist… your soul just slowly clocks out and goes for a walk…
You drop to 100 for half a second and outta nowhere some pi**ed off farm truck materializes behind you like you just insulted his entire bloodline and his wheat field… but the second you bump it up to 120… oh look at that… now the RCMP shows up like they’ve been hiding behind the same rock since 2003 just waiting for your dumb ass to get confident…
There ain’t no turns… no curves… no nothing… just straight road, wind trying to shove you into the next province, and the occasional grain truck crawling along like it’s powered by anger and unpaid bills… your GPS says two hours… Saskatchewan says “nah… you’re gonna experience every second of that like it’s a prison sentence…”
You blink and boom… you just passed a town… 12 people, one gas pump, and a dog that’s probably running for mayor unopposed… you miss that fuel stop… congratulations… you’re now on a spiritual journey for the next hour and a half…
Welcome to Saskatchewan… where the roads are straight, the distance is a lie, and the real battle ain’t traffic… it’s staying conscious long enough to survive the damn drive…
