<h2>Rigs, equipment, supplies, piping &amp; parts</h2>
Oilfield transportation was Lone Star’s <a href="http://lonestar-llc.biz/about-lone-star-transportation/">first specialty</a>. Over time, we've served many oil and gas production companies. That includes the majors as well as independents.

We also offer specialized transportation services to pipeline and compressor companies. Some look to us for off-road delivery and pipe stringing, too.

All our customers expect us to meet the oilfield's challenges. October to March is the industry's peak season. That means pulling oversized loads through rain, snow, ice and muck. A driver travels far off-road, in harsh conditions. It's certainly the ultimate test of a trucker's skills.

Lone Star's heavy haul drivers savor the challenge. Of course, we make sure they get the support they need to meet it safely.

To that end, our staff follows industry regulations and protocols. In short, it's our job to help drivers minimize risk and meet delivery deadlines.

Take the challenge.

<h2>Planes, engines, components, tooling &amp; ground support equipment</h2>
Aerospace parts pose a shipping challenge. They’re heavy and oversized. Furthermore, they're expensive and easily damaged. They also require extra tracking and security. Most importantly, they ALWAYS need to arrive on time.

Aerospace suppliers build to order. They're pressed to meet especially tight deadlines. Their customers include the following:
<ul>
 	<li>Manufacturers feeding global supply chains</li>
 	<li>Airlines thinly stocked with maintenance parts</li>
 	<li>Anxious customers faced with breakdowns</li>
</ul>
Lone Star is one of the most reliable shippers in this time-sensitive industry. Our service has won many awards from major aerospace suppliers and airlines.

<h2>Lone Star is the wind energy transportation leader</h2>
Wind turbines account for more than 30% of new power generation in the United States.

Surprisingly, transportation may be wind power's leading challenge. 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.

Today’s wind turbine components are among the largest of <a href="http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-trucking-jobs-guide/">super loads</a>.
<ul>
 	<li>Blades can span 200 feet.</li>
 	<li><em>Just half</em> a turbine's tower might be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long.</li>
 	<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>
</ul>
This 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 also calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting.

All in all, delivery of a large wind turbine may call for 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.

Moreover, 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.

Without a doubt, Lone Star has that team.

Lone Star is particularly known for its ability to plan, permit and deliver super loads.

As our president and CEO, <a href="http://lonestar-llc.biz/tex-talk/">Tex Robbins</a>, explains,[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<em>"Our team spends months planning every super heavy haul job. They develop optimal routes. Most importantly, they pay attention to the details. That includes what to do in a snowstorm, as well as where they'll park the truck overnight.</em>

<em>Whether shipping cross-town or cross-country, planning and communication are critical. We make site visits along the route. As we go, we reach out to government agencies, police departments and utility companies. We get all of them involved in the move. So everyone understands and supports our plan.</em>

<em>With the result that our driver delivers the load to its destination, safely and on time."</em>
