window Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabrux Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
