Pictures of the new Buckeye equipment semi-truck.
One of my fellow Hamilton Township Alumni members' husband did some of the work on this rig, so I thought I'd post the article which includes a 19 picture gallery of the setup. Hopefully this isn't a repost (sorry if it is).

Buckeyes Pack Up for Trip to Texas
Ohio State to transport equipment in new trailer
Sept. 6, 2006
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio State unveiled its new equipment trailer Wednesday before loading up for the 19-hour trek to Austin, Texas. Ohio State's equipment staff packed the 18-wheel tractor-trailer outside Ohio Stadium for the match up Saturday between the No. 1-ranked Buckeyes and No. 2 Texas.
The trailer received a new paint job last week and features the Ohio State logo on top of the trailer as well on both sides. The trailer is believed to be the only college football equipment truck with a painted top, which is distinctly viewable from overhead.
Former Buckeye Ken Blair III (1981-84) and his father Ken Blair Jr. own the vehicle and have provided the semi to Ohio State for its road trips since the 1982 Holiday Bowl. Blair III, a member of the 1982 Holiday Bowl team and the 1984 Big Ten Champion Buckeyes, has traded duties driving the rig with his father for the past 25 seasons. The two will share driving responsibilities to Austin, marking the first time the father and son have driven together on a trip.
"We love Ohio State, point blank," Blair III, who owns Circle Express Trucking Co. in central Ohio, said. "This is a good opportunity to represent the university and we cannot wait to get to Texas."
Ken Blair Jr. got the idea to transport Ohio State equipment by tractor-trailer in 1981 when the football team transported its equipment to the 1981 Liberty Bowl by using a moving van with a banner hung around its backside.
"We enjoy doing what we are doing, we're just Buckeyes," Ken Blair Jr., who owns Central Express, a local trucking company, said.
The trailer, which is 48 feet in length, was painted by Columbus Sign Co., of Columbus, Ohio. The trailer's design was created by Kent Kroger, senior graphic designer for Ohio State creative services.

They should get the Ohio National Guardsman who changed his name to Optimus Prime to drive that thing.
