Subject Matter: The photograph shows a six-wheel flatbed truck, with four-wheel trailer attached, used by the California Arabian Standard Oil Company at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The truck is moving along a dirt or sand track, and is seen from the front, possibly from the rear window of another moving vehicle. The truck and trailer are not loaded. In addition to the driver, who cannot be seen inside the truck’s cab, there are at least seven men travelling on the truck, standing either on the footplates or truck bed.
