the Chesapeake Bay
Bridge, its deck filled with
a row of trucks sporting
orange stickers on their
windshields. The stickers attest to the fact
that these trucks were sold through Ritchie
Bros. Auctioneers, the world’s largest
auctioneer of construction, transportation,
mining and agricultural equipment.
