Awesome Oil and gafield trucks on Biglorryblog Thanks to MMartin P and Energy Contractors!

"You live and you learn!" so says Martin Phippard who adds. "For example I had no idea that gas and/or oil exploration took place in the Eastern regions of the USA. Yet here we have Energy Contractors LLC serving 'the North Eastern USA and the Appalachian Basin' with their rather tasty KW, Peterbilts and Navistars. Apparently the company has depots in West Virginia, Tennessee and Pennsylvania and while the trucks aren't quite as big or as heavy-duty as their Western counterparts, they are pretty impressive nonetheless. So thanks to Matthew Burns and www.energycontractorsllc.com for the pictures. Regards, Martin."
