Born from a Pennsylvania truss hauler’s search for a better way to move unwieldy building materials, Titan Truss Trailers manufactures purpose-built trailers that haul trusses upside down and unload them safely to the side. Linford began hauling trusses in 2000, and his nephew Josh helped turn the idea into a first prototype completed in October 2021. The company’s trailers are designed for single-operator loading and unloading while reducing the logistical burden of oversized-load hauling.
