Trucking

Doman Industries transport trucks no. 781 through 786 sit parked in a staggered line on a sandy lot. The sky is clear above them.

Doman Industries hauling truck no. 6 sits parked in the driveway of a suburban home. The truck bed is laden with boxes labelled "Doman Cowichan Envirofriend". A young boy leans out of the driver-side window, smiling at the camera. Two older men pose for a photo next to the truck, one of them seated on the side bar and the other seated in a wheelchair parked in front of the truck bed. Trees and a grassy field can be seen in the background. Note: many products and services have been sold under the "Envirofriend" label, so I'm having trouble narrowing down what could be in these boxes. It could possibly be recycled wood, or landscaping material.
