This is a hand held snap shot with the Canon 18-55 IS kit lens. I could only get a shutter speed of about 1/6 in this building.

I only pulled this curtain van trailer for about three days. I always pull a regular flatbed that requires tarps for most things.

The curtain van has a metal frame work that slides both directions in a track along both sides of the trailer. When its closed up the sides are nice and tight and keeps the product dry.

I had to swap trailers with another guy who could not legally deliver a load of lumber to Los Angelas because he was almost out of hours.(DOT regulation)

When I took this picture, I had delivered the load of lumber and picked up a half load of steel at another place (on the front), and loading the other half here.

Any way I'm back home for now. Hope I didn't boar everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving ALL.

Ron

That's a beautiful rig, Ron! My brother is a truck driver, too--he hauls cars.
Good money, but long hours!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks naturegirl, Every time I have the opportunity to take a picture of the truck with a nice background like the arches near Moab Utah, or something like that, the truck is filthy dirty. I had just went through alot of snow and slush in Oregon, but when I got down to California it was sunny and in the 70's and 80's, so I stopped and washed it. Thanks again, Ron
