That looks like one of the "Southern Pride Trucking" rigs. That company specializes in moving aviation related materials. I have used them in the past for moving jet engines and landing gears. They never scratched anything that they moved for me except once back in the 1980's...... They were hauling an "as removed" set of B747 body landing gears that they had picked up in NY during the winter. The driver supervised the loading and had the rigger set the axles on blocks with the shock strut vertical and still attached to the bogie beam. As the rig moved toward balmy Southern California, a combination of the bumpy roads and thermal expansion caused the shock strut to slowly extend until it finally clipped an overpass. It was repairable, but the trunnion definitely needed re-chroming!!!!!

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.

S: Took hammer away from midget.
