This is the list of the Convoy and Island's Key vehicles. They are parked inside a parking lot surrounded by a Chain link fence with a gate. With them is the Maintenance area building where they are up kept, Daily. This area is located in the Center of the Island, across the street from the Library and Town Hall.
M35 1/2 "Deuce and a Half", Three of them.
The M35 2½-ton cargo truck is a long-lived 2½-ton 6x6 cargo truck initially used by the United States Army and subsequently utilized by many nations around the world. Over time it evolved into a family of specialized vehicles. It would not only inherit the World War II GMC CCKW's famous "Deuce and a Half" nickname but forge its own legacy.
The M35 started as a 1949 REO Motor Car Company design for a 2½-ton 6x6 off-road truck. This original 6-wheel M34 version was quickly superseded by the 10-wheel M35 design. While the basic M35 cargo truck is rated to carry 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg) off-road or 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg) on roads, they have been known to haul twice as much as rated. Trucks in this weight class are considered medium duty by the military and Department of Transportation. It's role now is to haul heavy loads of supplies back to the Island with a Driver and a person in the passenger seat as a support Gunner.
Big Rigs, x2 (A Kenworth and a Peterbelt)
The Heavy 18 Wheeler Rigs are used to transport a large number of people to and from Jamestown on Runs or to transport heavy equipment such as Bulldozers, Excavators, ect.
Fuel Tankers, x2
The back bone for the vehicles of the Island. One holding Diesel for the Deuces, the Big Rigs and the Humvees. While the other Fuel Tanker is for the Regular Vehicles. These Trucks stay on the Island unless they have to go out and get more Fuel so they don't run out. (Usually go out for Fuel run's when the tanks are a 3/4's Empty.)
Humvee's, x4 (Two with .50's and two without)
These are used to transport the Soldier's on Guard duty for the Convoy when they are out in the field looking for Supplies. Always taking the front and the rear of the Convoy.
