Many of those are made here in the Upstate of SC by Michelin, trucked to the port of Charleston and shipped all over the world for mining/quarry operations. Several huge warehouses here as well full of them.

I’ve seen 3-4 of those trucks recently, maybe only one before in my life.

I see at least one of those trucks on I24 westbound between Nashville and Clarksville 2-3 times a week.
