  I think believe this to be Rohr San Diego Prestressed Concrete. These appear to be the prefabricated concrete columns for the Pearlridge monorail in Hawaii. The logo on the tractor cab door says, "SDPC."
  
  The flatbed trailer says, "Matson" and "intermodal system," suggesting it may be going on a ship.
  
  Truckers call flatbed trailers, "skateboards," because they look sort of like a skateboard.

  ample light short exposure time sans gunpowder I'm sure - very distinctive sharpness. This shot must have cost a mint.

  I loathe huge glittery, blingy, pre-digested comments!
  
  And I love the straight lines, curves, perspectives. light and shade, and the clothes and nonchalant stance of the man - reminds me of Fred Astaire.
  
  Classic Art Deco.
  
  @ vox9r - I would be interested to know why this cost a mint. Glass plate negatives etc.?
