Maritime Ride & Pride

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. 🚛🚔👀
