Saw this retired military UH-1 Huey converted into a civilian crop duster this morning. I-5 near Williams, California. Plenty of work opportunities for them out here with the millions of acres of crops, vineyards, fruit and nut trees.

Very cool! Drove by it in training... didn't have time to stop. I was right seat at the time so I did get a pic or two but nothing as cool as that!
Thanks for sharing!

The ones I did take and share. Looks like I was starting to show signs of sleep deprivation as I was a bit fuzzy on what State I was entering!

The joys of being a local ltl/intermodal driver 😂
LTL:
Less Than Truckload
Refers to carriers that make a lot of smaller pickups and deliveries for multiple customers as opposed to hauling one big load of freight for one customer. This type of hauling is normally done by companies with terminals scattered throughout the country where freight is sorted before being moved on to its destination.
LTL carriers include:
Intermodal:
Transporting freight using two or more transportation modes. An example would be freight that is moved by truck from the shipper's dock to the rail yard, then placed on a train to the next rail yard, and finally returned to a truck for delivery to the receiving customer.
In trucking when you hear someone refer to an intermodal job they're normally talking about hauling shipping containers to and from the shipyards and railyards.
