NE FLorida Shots

[Yulee]

If you look just below my user ID, you will see the words, Jr Member, so be gentle if this does not turn out as other pro's postings. Spent a fall Saturday Morning snapping pics. It was slow for the LTL side, tons of FX Grounds but few others. As my photography skills grow, I hope to get some better shots







A lone Estes International




Enjoy!

Cool pictures, FedEx Ground always has some sharp equipment running around.  That W900L is nice and you caught one of those former RPS pups.

I like the FedEx W900 and the Estes, great pictures!

Before you know it you are a senor citizen just like that!

Sometimes it's not HOW you shoot, but WHAT you shoot!

Thanks guys! This spot is at the FL Welcome Center on I95 about a mile south of the Ag Inspection stations and US 17. It is a pretty good spot for southbound shooting, except for the skinny little pine tree that kept getting in the way. My better judgement told me that FL DOT would not be very understanding if I yanked out the chain saw.

It is amazing what other can see that you can't. Looked at these pics a several times and never caught the ex-RPS trailer.

Thanks again and will post more as I snap them.

Picked up a few more shots along I-95.



The Estes is from the same area as the others.

These others were taken just south of Jacksonville.



Was at a bad angle for the southbound shots, but snagged this Central Transport.





Not sure if these Conway Truckload belongs in this thread. If not, I'll stick it somewhere appropriate.



Last but not lease, and OD Cascadia. It is not a great shot, but sense the Conway guys like the visors so much, I thought I would throw it in.

FedEx Grounds major relay point from Orlando FL is at the TA in Richmond Hill GA. If you stay at the welcome center long enough you can catch them both ways. UPS freight and FedEx freight run a few but nothing like ground. Great shots.

That explains a lot! They come by at a rate of about 1 every 5 minutes, or at least it seems that way . The Richmond Hill TA is about 5 hours one way from Orlando, so it would fit with a 10 turn around. During the week you can see a lot of FXF coming through as well. Only problem is I don't have time to get out and take pics during the work day. Thanks.

Nice Shots Yulee, I like those 2 Con-way Rigs and that ODFL Cascadia Daycab

Welcome to the board.  Your shots will get better with practice as you learn the subtle nuances of your camera and find good spots.

I like the twin screw Estes pulling doubles you caught.

Practice make perfect. The ODFL shot was rough because it was one of the first and I had not figured my lead time yet. Trying to shoot between trees, signs and light post is tough, let alone the timing of the cars. Then there is all the technical stuff with a camera. Missed a couple of good shots too because of not having enough time to catch something. There was a FX Expedited  that looked like it was a car carrier. Also missed a Conway/CFI tht had super singles on both the tractor and trailer. Maybe next time. I think I have figure out the thumbnail way of putting in links. Practiced on that a bit last night on the carrier spotlight under photography.
