Kenworth hauls a pig

 We don't see livestock hauled by truck very much in my area, so perhaps this load will be a close as I come. 

T-Lane Nation is an Edmonton, AB based carrier with offices across the country from Saint John, NB, to Mission, BC. This beefy Kenworth is typical of the trucks they run.



The KW is hauling a big Aspen trailer with dollies front and rear and the payload is a container carrying a pipeline inspection tool called a "pig". These torpedo like units can be equipped with cameras or x-ray devices to investigate and record the condition of some types of pipelines. The container presumably contains the pig and all the control equipment required to operate it.

Quest Integrity is an inspection company based in Seattle and is noted for pigging technology. The schematic on the door of the container implies they work world wide. It features a cutaway drawing of a pipe complete with pig.
