I canβt post a picture on the comments- but I have one of space x in Brownsville . Company I worked for had about 15 trucks a week for a couple of months delivering steel for a building there . Super cool!
PhoenixSmasher@reddit
Can't wait to see those!

I wonder if I can fit that rocket in my prison pocket π€

Not space x but I delivered to NASA in the Bay Area.
Dachshundpapa@reddit
My employer has a contract with them and the boring company

I used to work for kag and would deliver to space x all the time. Work died at kag so now Iβm at another company doing the same shit

Thats weird, where I'm at, I regularly load next to KAG guys. They're paid hourly so they're slow π

everythangspeachie@reddit

They sounded like a good place tonight place to work up here.
Head-Lawfulness9617@reddit
I did fuel with them. They were good. They were on the low end of pay, though. They have a lot of big accounts, so there was plenty of work.
SuperCrispCurrency@reddit
I have picked up freight that was going there. But Iβm local P&D so someone else got the honor of bringing it there
greybeardgrunt@reddit
Iβve delivered steel trusses for a new building and rocket & booster motor components to Space X in FL.
truckrr_trent@reddit
Nice
Final_Scheme@reddit
I deliver to the Gardena location pretty often.
PineappleLong510@reddit
What were you delivering?
Actual-Money7868@reddit (OP)
Not my picture unfortunately. But those trucks are either carrying LOX or Liquid methane
DoctorZebra@reddit
Iβve done one for Blue Origin and several for United Launch Alliance.
The Blue Origin one was sketchy as hell as far as having to back almost half a mile through a field next to railroad tracks to get to the temporary tank they had set up.

I have Elon call me up and ask if I can come through he needs help

Itβs funny all this was built on a horses ass. The distance between each wheel on a wagon a horse pulled is the exact same distance as a rail. Essentially making all that built on a horses ass.
The wagon trail was formed from a game trail, then the wagons leading to rail cars. My PSA for the day. Bahahahaha America was built off an ass! Knew it. π

We do NASA, Blue Origin & SpaceX somewhat frequently. We did a drop & pick up at Merritt Island last week. We've carried an F-35 fuselage & air force drones, some ridiculously cool things!
Actual-Money7868@reddit (OP)
That is sooo awesome, super jealous π
banryu95@reddit
My coolest delivery has been to Three Mile Island once I'm a while.
HowlingWolven@reddit
Iβm surprised they donβt have a railhead or a pipeline for their methane.
Actual-Money7868@reddit (OP)
Surprised they don't make it on site tbh
HowlingWolven@reddit
Apparently an air liquefaction plant is in the cards for Boca.
deadpat03@reddit
I don't think they are using cow farts to get to mars
HowlingWolven@reddit
Starship and Super Heavy fly on methalox engines.
omgitsoop@reddit
Just to warehouses, not dropping payloads straight to the rocket
Actual-Money7868@reddit (OP)
That's still very cool.
Tuffted_Mouse@reddit
IS that helium?
Actual-Money7868@reddit (OP)
It's either LOX or liquid Methane
Western_Button_2366@reddit
I'm don't know the model but it's a 8x8 transport vehicle with a palfinger knuckle boom. Super cool setup.
Actual-Money7868@reddit (OP)
Noice, you earned your rocket stripes π¨βπ
Wadester58@reddit
No but we can watch the launches from my pasture pretty cool
Western_Button_2366@reddit
We built a truck for blue orgin b
Actual-Money7868@reddit (OP)
Dope what kind of truck ?
pwhoyt63pz@reddit
I used to run bananas between Hialeah (Florida) and Minneapolis. Stopped at NASA and played tourist there. Closest I ever got, and it was many years ago. π
BeardedRenegade@reddit
Noice.

I delivered a portable office to the liquid nitrogen tanks at vandenberg air force base a few years ago. No rockets were present, but I got to see the fueling area and the contraption that holds the rocket in place. Extremely cool day at work, lost at least 6 hours for security and escort.
yak_danielz@reddit
i have done blue origin a couple times. no SpaceX yet
truckerdraven@reddit
I wish. That would be absolutely awesome.
RevolutionaryDebt365@reddit
THE KAG
Evach_Rouro@reddit

cramboneUSF@reddit

FinzClortho@reddit
I did early this year in Brownsville. And delivered a few times to Tesla in Austin.
