Freddy J. Marin considers himself truly blessed — and it's easy to see why. As the Owner-Operator of Marin Trucking Inc. and the head of a Pilot Car company, Marin brings passion and precision to every haul. One of his recent jobs was nothing short of incredible.

Just two months ago, Marin transported a massive compressor machine that had traveled all the way from Scotland for testing. After picking it up at the Port of La Porte, Texas, he carefully hauled the load to George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. But this wasn't your average airport drop-off.

At the runway, the compressor was loaded onto the legendary Antonov — a colossal cargo plane known for being one of the largest and heaviest aircrafts in the world. This flying giant has shattered multiple records, and thanks to Marin, it had the perfect payload to match.
