This trailer and rig used to sit on the back lot of Stalcup Trucking in Coos Bay, Oregon and was used souly for the pupose of hauling Hog Fuel to the different Mills and power Plants which ran them.
She was one of the first trailers built (the Mfg Name escapes me) and served the company well. The Internation Transtar was a constant Companion to this trailer. The trailer itself is of the walking floor design and when loaded was backed into the unloading area and the back doors unlocked and the floor power unit ingaged. This would activate the chain and grouser unit on the floor and slowly movee the load out of the trailer. The unit also has the older style steel frame screens which were predominate on early chip rigs of the day. The driver carried a long aluminum pole on the rig which he used to flip open and close the screens. A lot of manual work involved here!!
