Wind Turbine Blades On the Move From KK Integrated Logistics On Aug. 31

Wednesday afternoon I took a ride down past KK Integrated Logistics and noticed a truck loaded with a bundle of (2) wind turbine blades moving through the yard. I went up to a vantage point on the top of a hill along the route and photographed three trucks heading that way. For the second truck, I was able to photograph them after they had made the left turn at the intersection of 10th Street and 10th Avenue. For the third truck, I moved along 10th Avenue until I was just about across from the Holiday gas station store and photographed the escorts and truck as they made that turn. As you will see in the slideshow, considerable skill is involved in all of these movements. Great job!!

The first truck comes from behind Fibrek	The escorts take up position	The truck comes up a hill on lower 10th Street
Rear view of the convoy	A second truck makes a right turn along the truck route	This turn is more difficult than coming from behind Fibrek
The turn is almost complete	A third truck shows up from the route behind Fibrek	The second truck comes up the hill with a bundle of blades
The second truck has made the turn onto 10th Avenue	The third truck approaches 10th St./10th Ave. intersection	Coming into the turn at the intersection
Notice that the cab of the truck is beyond the curbing	I half expected the 2 vehicles to back up out of the way	But they didn't have to do so
The truck makes the turn even with the tight quarters	Safely through the intersection	Rear view of the truck with its bundle of blades
Another escort vehicle brings up the rear
