Scot Trucks

Scot Trucks was a truck body manufacturer located in Debert Nova Scotia. The company was in business from 1972 to 1980. Not a terribly large producer, most of their output was sold in Eastern Canada. Still, some vehicles from them found their way out west mostly as fire apparatus.

Scot also made cab-over vocational trucks (same cab as fire trucks), conventional over the road tractors and even some large mine dumps. In the end, they just couldn’t compete however and closed up shop after an eight year run. It’s said Scot built about eleven hundred vehicles of all types of which perhaps five to six dozen (a rough estimate), were fire chassis. We got this data from a former Scot manager. Other sources list a larger number, so something around three hundred or so Scots made into fire trucks, but we found nothing to corroborate that. It does seem a tad high.
