What drives Truro prices
Truro sits in central Nova Scotia at the junction of Highway 102 and Highway 104. That crossing is the reason the town carries the name the hub of Nova Scotia. The two main corridors through the province meet right here, at a single junction. Truck traffic moving along either highway passes through this point on its way across the province. Central Nova Scotia runs its freight through Truro. The hub name is not decoration. It describes where the roads actually go, and that makes the town a natural waypoint for any carrier working the province.
