    I pass the Alabama State dock scales every morning, been noticing more trucks than usual here lately. This morning the lot is full of flat beds and Lowboys, seen a shield for mine use yesterday coming out. Anyone noticed any more than usual increase in loads? Just good to see some things moving. Be safe out there.

    What do you think the big move is? Obviously with only flats, it's an industrial move. But what?

    Could be a crane. I know the big one that was here for the Vikings Stadium took something like 97 semis...

    Is there a war on somewhere?

    Last time trucks gathered like that was prior to 2003 invasion and again around 1994 when Korea was a problem. It was obvious to everyone including myself we were hauling actual war freight but not a word was said in the newspapers back then.
