One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of turbines keeps growing. So does the difficulty of moving them from factory to wind farm.\r\n\r\nToday’s wind turbine components are among the largest of <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-jobs-truck-drivers-guide#heavyloader\">super loads</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Blades can span 200 feet.</li>\r\n 	<li><em>Just half</em> a turbine\'s tower might be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nacelles weight up to 205,000 lbs. (That includes the generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus.) They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is an exacting heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting, too.\r\n\r\nAll in all, delivery of a wind turbine requires a caravan of 7 to 10 trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. Additionally, one or two may transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMoreover, you may need 60 trucks if you’re shipping six turbines at a time. Only an expert team of heavy haul drivers can get that caravan to its destination on schedule.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4405\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/turbin.jpg\" alt=\"flatbed driver jobs\" width=\"625\" height=\"362\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"KNOWN FOR OUR ABILITY TO HANDLE IT ALL \"][vc_row_inner column_margin=\"default\" text_align=\"left\"][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>Lone Star\'s flatbed &amp; heavy haul drivers are the best on the road.</h2>\r\nLone Star hauls cargo of all types, weights and sizes.

Firstly, they’re heavy and oversized. (Not to mention expensive and easily damaged.) Secondly, they require special tracking and security measures. (Owing to their critical role in national transportation and defense.) Most importantly, they ALWAYS need to arrive on time.\r\n\r\nAerospace suppliers build to order, on especially tight delivery deadlines. Their customers include\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Manufacturers feeding global supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines with thin stocks of maintenance and repair parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nShipping delays cause expensive problems. Manufacturers postpone deliveries. Delayed maintenance grounds planes. With the result that canceled flights trigger nationwide - even global - delays.\r\n\r\nLone Star is one of the most reliable shippers in this time-sensitive industry. Major aerospace suppliers and airlines have awarded our service.\r\n\r\nWant to help keep planes in the air? If you join our team of heavy haul drivers, you get the training and experience you need.

Firstly, they’re heavy and oversized. (Not to mention expensive and easily damaged.) Secondly, they require special tracking and security measures. (Owing to their critical role in national transportation and defense.) Most importantly, they ALWAYS need to arrive on time.\r\n\r\nAerospace suppliers build to order, on especially tight delivery deadlines. Their customers include\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Manufacturers feeding global supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines with thin stocks of maintenance and repair parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nShipping delays cause expensive problems. Manufacturers postpone deliveries. Delayed maintenance grounds planes. With the result that canceled flights trigger nationwide - even global - delays.\r\n\r\nLone Star is one of the most reliable shippers in this time-sensitive industry. Major aerospace suppliers and airlines have awarded our service.\r\n\r\nWant to help keep planes in the air? If you join our team of heavy haul drivers, you get the training and experience you need.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of turbines keeps growing. So does the difficulty of moving them from factory to wind farm.\r\n\r\nToday’s wind turbine components are among the largest of <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-jobs-truck-drivers-guide#heavyloader\">super loads</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Blades can span 200 feet.</li>\r\n 	<li><em>Just half</em> a turbine\'s tower might be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nacelles weight up to 205,000 lbs. (That includes the generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus.) They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is an exacting heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting, too.\r\n\r\nAll in all, delivery of a wind turbine requires a caravan of 7 to 10 trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. Additionally, one or two may transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMoreover, you may need 60 trucks if you’re shipping six turbines at a time. Only an expert team of heavy haul drivers can get that caravan to its destination on schedule.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3763\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Lonestar2-2.jpg\" alt=\"flatbed trucking jobs\" width=\"481\" height=\"302\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"KNOWN FOR OUR ABILITY TO HANDLE IT ALL \"][vc_row_inner column_margin=\"default\" text_align=\"left\"][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>Lone Star\'s flatbed &amp; heavy haul drivers are the best on the road.</h2>\r\nLone Star hauls cargo of all types, weights and sizes.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of turbines keeps growing. So does the difficulty of moving them from factory to wind farm.\r\n\r\nToday’s wind turbine components are among the largest of <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-jobs-truck-drivers-guide#heavyloader\">super loads</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Blades can span 200 feet.</li>\r\n 	<li><em>Just half</em> a turbine\'s tower might be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nacelles weight up to 205,000 lbs. (That includes the generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus.) They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is an exacting heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting, too.\r\n\r\nAll in all, delivery of a wind turbine requires a caravan of 7 to 10 trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. Additionally, one or two may transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMoreover, you may need 60 trucks if you’re shipping six turbines at a time. Only an expert team of heavy haul drivers can get that caravan to its destination on schedule.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4405\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/turbin.jpg\" alt=\"flatbed driver jobs\" width=\"625\" height=\"362\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"KNOWN FOR OUR ABILITY TO HANDLE IT ALL \"][vc_row_inner column_margin=\"default\" text_align=\"left\"][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>Lone Star\'s flatbed &amp; heavy haul drivers are the best on the road.</h2>\r\nLone Star hauls cargo of all types, weights and sizes.

It\'s certainly the ultimate test of a trucker\'s skills.\r\n\r\nLone Star\'s heavy haul drivers are up for the challenge. Of course, we make sure they get all the support they need to meet it safely, too.\r\n\r\nTo that end, our support staff stays well-versed in industry regulations and protocols.

Firstly, they’re heavy and oversized. (Not to mention expensive and easily damaged.) Secondly, they require special tracking and security measures. (Owing to their critical role in national transportation and defense.) Most importantly, they ALWAYS need to arrive on time.\r\n\r\nAerospace suppliers build to order. They\'re pressed to meet especially tight delivery deadlines. Their customers include the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Manufacturers feeding global supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines with thin stocks of maintenance and repair parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nObviously, shipping delays cause expensive problems. Manufacturers postpone deliveries. Delayed maintenance grounds planes. With the result that canceled flights trigger nationwide - even global - delays.\r\n\r\nLone Star is one of the most reliable shippers in this time-sensitive industry. Major aerospace suppliers and airlines have awarded our service.\r\n\r\nWant to help us keep planes in the air? If you join our team of heavy haul drivers, you get the training and experience you need. You become skilled at\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Securing high-value cargo.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of turbines keeps growing. So does the difficulty of moving them from factory to wind farm.\r\n\r\nToday’s wind turbine components are among the largest of <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-jobs-truck-drivers-guide#heavyloader\">super loads</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Blades can span 200 feet.</li>\r\n 	<li><em>Just half</em> a turbine\'s tower might be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nacelles weight up to 205,000 lbs. (That includes the generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus.) They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is an exacting heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting, too.\r\n\r\nAll in all, delivery of a wind turbine requires a caravan of 7 to 10 trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. Additionally, one or two may transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMoreover, you may need 60 trucks if you’re shipping six turbines at a time. Only an expert team of heavy haul drivers can get that caravan to its destination on schedule.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4405\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/turbin.jpg\" alt=\"flatbed driver jobs\" width=\"625\" height=\"362\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"KNOWN FOR OUR ABILITY TO HANDLE IT ALL \"][vc_row_inner column_margin=\"default\" text_align=\"left\"][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>Lone Star\'s flatbed &amp; heavy haul drivers are the best on the road.</h2>\r\nLone Star hauls cargo of all types, weights and sizes.

Firstly, they’re heavy and oversized. (Not to mention expensive and easily damaged.) Secondly, they require special tracking and security measures. (Owing to their critical role in national transportation and defense.) Most importantly, they ALWAYS need to arrive on time.\r\n\r\nAerospace suppliers build to order. They\'re pressed to meet especially tight delivery deadlines. Their customers include the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Manufacturers feeding global supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines with thin stocks of maintenance and repair parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nObviously, shipping delays cause expensive problems. Manufacturers postpone deliveries. Delayed maintenance grounds planes. With the result that canceled flights trigger nationwide - even global - delays.\r\n\r\nLone Star is one of the most reliable shippers in this time-sensitive industry.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of turbines keeps growing. So does the difficulty of moving them from factory to wind farm.\r\n\r\nToday’s wind turbine components are among the largest of <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-jobs-truck-drivers-guide#heavyloader\">super loads</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Blades can span 200 feet.</li>\r\n 	<li><em>Just half</em> a turbine\'s tower might be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nacelles weight up to 205,000 lbs. (That includes the generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus.) They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is an exacting heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting, too.\r\n\r\nAll in all, delivery of a wind turbine requires a caravan of 7 to 10 trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. Additionally, one or two may transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMoreover, you may need 60 trucks if you’re shipping six turbines at a time.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of turbines keeps growing. So does the difficulty of moving them from factory to wind farm.\r\n\r\nToday’s wind turbine components are among the largest of <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-jobs-truck-drivers-guide#heavyloader\">super loads</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Blades can span 200 feet.</li>\r\n 	<li><em>Just half</em> a turbine\'s tower might be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nacelles weight up to 205,000 lbs.

Wind turbine transport is an exacting heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting, too.\r\n\r\nAll in all, delivery of a wind turbine requires a caravan of 7 to 10 trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. Additionally, one or two may transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMoreover, you may need 60 trucks if you’re shipping six turbines at a time. Only an expert team of heavy haul drivers can get that caravan to its destination on schedule.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4405\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/turbin.jpg\" alt=\"flatbed driver jobs\" width=\"625\" height=\"362\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"KNOWN FOR OUR ABILITY TO HANDLE IT ALL \"][vc_row_inner column_margin=\"default\" text_align=\"left\"][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>Lone Star\'s flatbed &amp; heavy haul drivers are the best on the road.</h2>\r\nLone Star hauls cargo of all types, weights and sizes.

Many customers look to us for their off-road delivery and pipe stringing needs, too.\r\n\r\nThe heavy haul drivers of the oilfield thrive when faced with its extreme conditions. October to March is the industry\'s peak season. That means pulling oversized loads through rain, snow, ice and muck. You\'re far from pavement, in remote environments. It\'s certainly the ultimate test of a trucker\'s skills.\r\n\r\nLone Star\'s heavy haul drivers are up for the challenge. Of course, we make sure they get all the support they need to meet it safely.\r\n\r\nTo that end, our support staff stays well-versed in industry regulations and protocols.

Firstly, they’re heavy and oversized. (Not to mention expensive and easily damaged.) Secondly, they often require special tracking and security measures. Most importantly, they ALWAYS need to arrive on time.\r\n\r\nAerospace suppliers build to order. They\'re pressed to meet especially tight delivery deadlines. Their customers include the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Manufacturers feeding global supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines with thin stocks of maintenance and repair parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nObviously, shipping delays cause expensive problems. Manufacturers postpone deliveries. Delayed maintenance grounds planes. With the result that canceled flights trigger nationwide - even global - delays.\r\n\r\nLone Star is one of the most reliable shippers in this time-sensitive industry. Major aerospace suppliers and airlines have awarded our service.\r\n\r\nWant to help us keep planes in the air? If you join our team of heavy haul drivers, you get the training and experience you need. You become skilled at\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Securing high-value cargo.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of turbines keeps growing. So does the difficulty of moving them from factory to wind farm.\r\n\r\nToday’s wind turbine components are among the largest of <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-jobs-truck-drivers-guide#heavyloader\">super loads</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Blades can span 200 feet.</li>\r\n 	<li><em>Just half</em> a turbine\'s tower might be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nacelles weight up to 205,000 lbs. (That includes the generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus.) They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is an exacting heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting, too.\r\n\r\nAll in all, delivery of a wind turbine requires a caravan of 7 to 10 trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. Additionally, one or two may transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMoreover, you may need 60 trucks if you’re shipping six turbines at a time. Only an expert team of heavy haul drivers can get that caravan to its destination on schedule.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4405\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/turbin.jpg\" alt=\"flatbed driver jobs\" width=\"625\" height=\"362\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"KNOWN FOR OUR ABILITY TO HANDLE IT ALL \"][vc_row_inner column_margin=\"default\" text_align=\"left\"][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>Lone Star\'s flatbed &amp; heavy haul drivers are the best on the road.</h2>\r\nLone Star hauls cargo of all types, weights and sizes.

Firstly, they’re heavy and oversized. (Not to mention expensive and easily damaged.) Secondly, they often require special tracking and security measures. Most importantly, they ALWAYS need to arrive on time.\r\n\r\nAerospace suppliers build to order. They\'re pressed to meet especially tight delivery deadlines. Their customers include the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Manufacturers feeding global supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines with thin stocks of maintenance and repair parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nObviously, shipping delays cause expensive problems. Manufacturers postpone deliveries. Delayed maintenance grounds planes. In the end, canceled flights trigger nationwide - even global - delays.\r\n\r\nLone Star is one of the most reliable shippers in this time-sensitive industry.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of turbines keeps growing. So does the difficulty of moving them from factory to wind farm.\r\n\r\nToday’s wind turbine components are among the largest of <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-jobs-truck-drivers-guide#heavyloader\">super loads</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Blades can span 200 feet.</li>\r\n 	<li><em>Just half</em> a turbine\'s tower might be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nacelles weight up to 205,000 lbs. (That includes the generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus.) They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is an exacting heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting, too.\r\n\r\nAll in all, delivery of a wind turbine requires a caravan of 7 to 10 trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. Additionally, one or two may transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMoreover, you may need 60 trucks if you’re shipping six turbines at a time.

Many customers look to us for their off-road delivery and pipe stringing needs, too.\r\n\r\nThe heavy haul drivers of the oilfield thrive when faced with its extreme conditions. October to March is the industry\'s peak season. That means pulling oversized loads through rain, snow, ice and muck. You\'re far from pavement, in remote environments. It\'s certainly the ultimate test of a trucker\'s skills.\r\n\r\nLone Star\'s heavy haul drivers are up for the challenge. Of course, we make sure they get all the support they need to meet it safely.\r\n\r\nTo that end, our support staff stays well-versed in industry regulations and protocols.

Firstly, they’re heavy and oversized. (Not to mention expensive and easily damaged.) Secondly, they often require special tracking and security measures. Most importantly, they ALWAYS need to arrive on time.\r\n\r\nAerospace suppliers build to order. They\'re pressed to meet especially tight delivery deadlines. Their customers include the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Manufacturers feeding global supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines with thin stocks of maintenance and repair parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nObviously, shipping delays cause expensive problems. Manufacturers postpone deliveries. Delayed maintenance grounds planes. In the end, canceled flights trigger nationwide - even global - delays.\r\n\r\nLone Star is one of the most reliable shippers in this time-sensitive industry. Major aerospace suppliers and airlines have awarded our service.\r\n\r\nWant to help us keep planes in the air?

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of turbines keeps growing. So does the difficulty of moving them from factory to wind farm.\r\n\r\nToday’s wind turbine components are among the largest of <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-jobs-truck-drivers-guide#heavyloader\">super loads</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Blades can span 200 feet.</li>\r\n 	<li><em>Just half</em> a turbine\'s tower might be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nacelles weight up to 205,000 lbs. (That includes the generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus.) They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is an exacting heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting, too.\r\n\r\nAll in all, delivery of a wind turbine requires a caravan of 7 to 10 trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. Additionally, one or two may transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMoreover, you need up to 60 trucks if you’re shipping six turbines at a time. Only an expert team of heavy haul drivers can get that caravan to its destination on schedule.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4405\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/turbin.jpg\" alt=\"flatbed driver jobs\" width=\"625\" height=\"362\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"KNOWN FOR OUR ABILITY TO HANDLE IT ALL \"][vc_row_inner column_margin=\"default\" text_align=\"left\"][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>Lone Star\'s flatbed &amp; heavy haul drivers are the best on the road.</h2>\r\nLone Star hauls cargo of all types, weights and sizes.

Firstly, they’re heavy and oversized. (Not to mention expensive and easily damaged.) Secondly, they often require special tracking and security measures. Most importantly, they ALWAYS need to arrive on time.\r\n\r\nAerospace suppliers build to order. They\'re pressed to meet especially tight delivery deadlines. Their customers include the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Manufacturers feeding global supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines with thin stocks of maintenance and repair parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nObviously, shipping delays cause expensive problems. Manufacturers postpone deliveries. Delayed maintenance grounds planes. In the end, canceled flights trigger nationwide - even global - delays.\r\n\r\nLone Star is one of the most reliable shippers in this time-sensitive industry.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of turbines keeps growing. So does the difficulty of moving them from factory to wind farm.\r\n\r\nToday’s wind turbine components are among the largest of <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-jobs-truck-drivers-guide#heavyloader\">super loads</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Blades can span 200 feet.</li>\r\n 	<li><em>Just half</em> a turbine\'s tower might be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nacelles weight up to 205,000 lbs. (That includes the generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus.) They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is an exacting heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting, too.\r\n\r\nAll in all, delivery of a wind turbine requires a caravan of 7 to 10 trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. Additionally, one or two may transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMoreover, you need up to 60 trucks if you’re shipping six turbines at a time.

Wind turbine transport is an exacting heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting, too.\r\n\r\nAll in all, delivery of a wind turbine requires a caravan of 7 to 10 trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. Additionally, one or two may transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMoreover, you need up to 60 trucks if you’re shipping six turbines at a time.
