They’re heavy and oversized, expensive and easily damaged. They’re critical to national transportation and defense, which calls for careful tracking. And they ALWAYS need to arrive on time.\r\n\r\nAerospace suppliers build to order, on tight delivery deadlines. Their customers include\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Manufacturers feeding internationally sourced supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines with thin stocks of maintenance, repair and overhaul parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with unexpected breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nShipping delays cause expensive problems. New plane deliveries are postponed. Planes are grounded. 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 customer service.\r\n\r\nOur specialized flatbed trailers can safely handle oversize aerospace products.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. The size of new turbines keeps growing, as 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>. Blades can span 200 feet. Half a tower may be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long. Nacelles (including generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus) weigh up to 205,000 lbs. (They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.)\r\n\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is a highly specialized heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting as well.\r\n\r\nDelivery of a wind turbine often requires a caravan of 7 to 10 heavy haul trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three vehicles cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. One or two more transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMultiply that by six if you’re shipping six turbines to the same wind farm in a week.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. The size of new turbines keeps growing, as 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/\">super loads</a>. Blades can span 200 feet. Half a tower may be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long. Nacelles (including generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus) weigh up to 205,000 lbs. (They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.)\r\n\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is a highly specialized heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting as well.\r\n\r\nDelivery of a wind turbine often requires a caravan of 7 to 10 heavy haul trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three vehicles cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. One or two more transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMultiply that by six if you’re shipping six turbines to the same wind farm in a week.

While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three vehicles cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. One or two more transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMultiply that by six if you’re shipping six turbines to the same wind farm in a week.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. The size of new turbines keeps growing, as 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/\">super loads</a>. Blades can span 200 feet. Half a tower may be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long. Nacelles (including generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus) weigh up to 205,000 lbs. (They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.)\r\n\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is a highly specialized heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. The size of new turbines keeps growing, as 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>. Blades can span 200 feet. Half a tower may be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long. Nacelles (including generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus) weigh up to 205,000 lbs. (They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.)\r\n\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is a highly specialized heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting as well.\r\n\r\nDelivery of a wind turbine often requires a caravan of 7 to 10 heavy haul trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three vehicles cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. One or two more transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMultiply that by six if you’re shipping six turbines to the same wind farm in a week.

We presently serve a variety of oil and gas production companies - the majors as well as many independents.\r\n\r\nWe offer specialized transportation services to pipeline and compressor companies, too. Many customers also look to us for their off-road delivery and pipe stringing needs.\r\n\r\nIn the oilfield market, heavy haul drivers have to know how to handle extreme off-road conditions. October to March is peak season for oilfield trucking. That means pulling oversized loads through rain, snow, ice and muck 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. We make sure they get the support they need to meet it safely, too.\r\n\r\nOur managers and dispatchers are well-versed in the risks of oilfield transportation.

Firstly, they’re heavy and oversized, expensive and easily damaged. Secondly, they’re critical to national transportation and defense. (Thus calling for extra tracking and security measures.) And, 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 internationally sourced supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines with thin stocks of maintenance, repair and overhaul parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with unexpected breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nShipping delays cause expensive problems. Manufacturers postpone new plane deliveries. Delayed maintenance grounds existing planes. 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. The size of new turbines keeps growing, as 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>. Blades can span 200 feet. Half a tower may be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long. Nacelles (including generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus) weigh up to 205,000 lbs. (They\'re also too wide to travel through many tunnels.)\r\n\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is a highly specialized heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting as well.\r\n\r\nDelivery of a wind turbine often requires a caravan of 7 to 10 heavy haul trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three vehicles cradle the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. One or two more transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMultiply that by six if you’re shipping six turbines to the same wind farm in a week. Our expert heavy haul drivers and support staff get every truck in the caravan to its final destination on time.[/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.

And, 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 internationally sourced supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines with thin stocks of maintenance, repair and overhaul parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with unexpected breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nShipping delays cause expensive problems.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of new 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 (including generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus) weigh up to 205,000 lbs. (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 a highly specialized heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It fcalls 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 heavy haul trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three vehicles 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\'ll have to multiply that by six if you’re shipping six turbines at a time.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of new 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 (including generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus) weigh up to 205,000 lbs.

It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It fcalls 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 heavy haul trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three vehicles 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\'ll have to multiply that by six if you’re shipping six turbines at a time.

We presently serve a variety of oil and gas production companies - the majors as well as many independents.\r\n\r\nWe offer specialized transportation services to pipeline and compressor companies, too. Many customers also look to us for their off-road delivery and pipe stringing needs.\r\n\r\nIn the oilfield market, heavy haul drivers have to know how to handle extreme off-road conditions. October to March is peak season for oilfield trucking. That means pulling oversized loads through rain, snow, ice and muck in remote environments.

Firstly, they’re heavy and oversized, expensive and easily damaged. Secondly, they’re critical to national transportation and defense. (Thus calling for extra tracking and security measures.) And, 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 internationally sourced supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines with thin stocks of maintenance, repair and overhaul parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with unexpected breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nShipping delays cause expensive problems. Manufacturers postpone new plane deliveries. Delayed maintenance grounds existing planes.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of new 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 (including generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus) weigh up to 205,000 lbs. (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 a highly specialized heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It fcalls 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 heavy haul trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three vehicles 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\'ll have to multiply that by six if you’re shipping six turbines at a time. Only expert heavy haul drivers and support staff can get every truck to its final 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, expensive and easily damaged. Secondly, they’re critical to national transportation and defense. (Thus calling for extra tracking and security measures.) And, 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 internationally sourced supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines with thin stocks of maintenance, repair and overhaul parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with unexpected breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nShipping delays cause expensive problems.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of new 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 (including generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus) weigh up to 205,000 lbs. (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 a highly specialized heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It fcalls 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 heavy haul trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three vehicles 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\'ll have to multiply that by six if you’re shipping six turbines at a time.

Firstly, they’re heavy and oversized, expensive and easily damaged. Secondly, they’re critical to national transportation and defense. (Thus calling for special tracking and security measures.) And, 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 internationally sourced supply chains</li>\r\n 	<li>Airlines with thin stocks of maintenance, repair and overhaul parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with unexpected breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nShipping delays cause expensive problems. Manufacturers postpone new plane deliveries. Delayed maintenance grounds existing planes. 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 customer service.\r\n\r\nLone Star\'s heavy haul drivers have more training and experience than their peers.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of new 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 (including generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus) weigh up to 205,000 lbs. (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 a highly specialized heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It fcalls 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 heavy haul trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three vehicles 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\'ll have to multiply that by six if you’re shipping six turbines at a time. Only expert heavy haul drivers and support staff can get every truck to its final 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, expensive and easily damaged. Secondly, they’re critical to national transportation and defense. (Thus calling for special tracking and security measures.) 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, repair and overhaul parts</li>\r\n 	<li>Anxious customers faced with unexpected breakdowns</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nShipping delays cause expensive problems.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of new 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 (including generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus) weigh up to 205,000 lbs. (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 a highly specialized heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It fcalls 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 heavy haul trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three vehicles 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\'ll have to multiply that by six if you’re shipping six turbines at a time.
