My step deck trailer with ramps and full tarps is one of the most versatile trailers on the market.  Since moving to this trailer last year, I've been able to service more of a variety of shippers.  I've hauled lumber, onions, military vehicles, heavy equipment, steel, cargo trailers, clay, pipe, machinery and even ocean containers.  This week, I was able to transport for my favorite shipper, the U.S. Army. 

The military uses civilian trucking and logistics companies everyday to move their equipment and supplies around the country and even around the world.  I've hauled equipment for all branches of the military as my step deck is in high demand around the many military installations in Virginia and North Carolina.  There's always a lot of freight movement going on with the military until about September every year.  That's when the fiscal year is ending and everyone is short on funding until October 1st when the new funding starts.

This week, I was able to transport military items from the east coast to Texas and military vehicles back for the return trip.  It's always rewarding to help support the U.S. military and help them accomplish their mission.  For me, it matters what I haul.

I see a lot of military moves out this way as well, being near Pendleton and 29 Palms. Very cool that your trailer will go from lumber one week to vehicles the next!
