The Trailer Owner Who Keeps Concert Tours Rolling

When fans pack a sold-out arena, they expect a night they’ll never forget. Lights hit the stage. The music starts. Their favorite artist begins right on cue. 

What most people never see is what it takes to make that moment possible. 

Before the first chord is played, someone has already put in hundreds of miles to make sure every piece of staging, every instrument, and every detail arrives safely and on time. That responsibility lives behind the wheel. 

For Ray Stewart, it’s part of everyday life. As the owner of Outlaw Truckers, Ray has hauled tour equipment for artists like Alanis Morissette, Joan Jett, and MercyMe. He knows that when he’s on the road, an entire crew and thousands of fans are counting on him. 

“The entertainment industry is fast-paced, especially arena shows. You load from one show, drive five to six hours, then load into the next show. The durability of the trailer is obviously what’s important.” -Ray Stewart, Outlaw Trucking 

In the video below, Ray shares what it’s like to haul the gear that brings live music to life, the pride he takes in his work, and why reliability and high-performing trailers matter more than most people will ever realize. 

Hear the story behind the miles. And what it takes to make it possible.
