New Football Equipment Truck

[HkyMtneer]

How have I missed the earth-shattering news that we now have a full-fledged 18-wheel tractor trailer to carry our equipment up and down the highways!?! I've longed to replace the little equipment truck for years...being admittedly "envious" of the "big-time" programs with semi's. No longer! Now, we get to wrap this big boy with great new graphics each season.

Edit: Had some issues uploading photos and since the link is provided in a reply below I'll just encourage everyone to follow that link to the photos.

I'd love to see the truck but can't get the images to load.

I don’t see a truck; just trailer. I assume we’re using a owner op to pull the equipment. Would be nice to eventually buy a truck

Is this not the truck & trailer that got stuck overnight in the road at the stadium as it was being made ready for the Marshall trip?

You're correct...I guess I should have clarified. I just assumed that we have a tractor to actually pull the rig. The trailer is the most visible part of the "moving billboard" so I guess that is the part that got me most excited. I would also assume you're correct in that we're just renting a lift from an owner op when needed, as that would probably make the most sense, at least initially. I wonder if this was perhaps a donation, from Hollar & Greene or another company with a plethora of trailers and App ties?

As someone who works in the transportation business, I’d love for our company to do business with App for these kind of needs. I see an App State wrapped box truck in Hickory often and it’d make it even more enjoyable to see our company sticker right under the hood.

I can’t see what your talking about even when I click the link?

That box truck you see around town (Hickory area) is our old equipment truck. It was loaned/leased/operated (not sure of the exact arrangement or details) from Barringer Moving & Storage. When it wasn't football season and up on the mountain it's around the Catawba Valley hauling people's stuff. I see it around occasionally as well...saw it moving a house down the street just a month or so ago. I'm guessing the new trailer is ours outright, hopefully.

We used to do business with Barringer, but I think we lost it to our competitor. Either way, love seeing the truck, just wish it had our(my companies) sticker on it.
