General Ike Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) I have seen dozens of these on I81 and I40 from Knoxville to Nashville. I saw about 10 of them at one time near Oak Ridge on I40 in October. They're usually light grey, white or blue. Same box on all of them. Tough to see from the pics, but there is a door that leads into the box in the center rear. Its clearly intended for a person to enter through not just to retrieve cargo. Thats the spare tire on the rear drivers side.

tjc transport Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 looks like one of the radiation detectors used in the ports, only without the scanner arm that goes over the trailer Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

However they all have deep tinted windows and look somewhat more clandestine then what I would think a vehicle used simply for the detection of radiation would look like.

dagotwit Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Most likely they belong to the U. S. Department of Energy's Office of Secure Transportation (OST). Most likely they deal with nuclear weapons security. https://nnsa.energy.gov/aboutus/ourprograms/defenseprograms/securetransportation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
