Heavy Trucks

Heavy trucks, for me, rank right up there with railroads as a photographic interest. I catch and photograph them wherever I can, without being too obtrusive. Three samples follow.

 

Here is a group of new Kenworth W900s fresh from the factory in 2005 before they had been put into service.

This is a Kenworth W900L loading apples at Tieton, WA in 2006  Sixty-four bins brings this rig right up to its 105,500 pound GVW.

Two Kenworths, this one pulling and one pushing, moved a 100 ton expansion joint for the new Tacoma Narrows Suspension Bridge from Spokane to Tacoma in April of 2007.
