Concert Touring Companies and Trucks

[window]

Hello all. Just wondering what companies are there in America that are used to tour music shows? Shows like the big concerts and operas, ballets and musicals? Just wondering as in Australia we have 3 or 4 major companies that do this sort of work, and I work for a local company in Brisbane that cart backline and sound and lighting equipment.

Thanks

There are 4 major trucking companies here in the states involved with touring shows..............My employer, Clark Transfer Inc. Harrisburg,PA the number one provider of Broadway show/theatrical transport in the country. Stagecall Inc. Phoenix,AZ,and Upstaging Transport Inc. Chicago,IL and Janco Inc. Wayne,NJ..........The last two primarily do Rock & Roll and major tours,while Janco's primary tour is the WWE Wrestling tours.......................Mark

Matt,Clark uses all Owner-Operators,so various makes and models,as does Stagecall, Upstaging uses red 386-387 and 379 Peterbilts,Janco has a mixed bag of Freightliners and Volvos (the Mack CX-613 pulling the Peter Pan trailer is me!)...........Mark

Friends of the family used to work for another company, Truck 'n' Roll. They do primarily music industry shows. As I recall all their trucks are black Freightliners.

I forgot about Truck and Roll,they used to do a lot of sub-contract work for both Stagecall and Janco...........................................Mark
