What's the Story?

These are either sawlogs or destined for veneer.  You can tell by looking at them.  The logs are very large in diameter - measuring several feet.  And presuming that is a standard 48 to 53 foot cargo flatbed trailer they look to be twelve foot lengths.  Pulp bolts (logs for the paper industry) need to be sticks 100 inches long and, often, no less than three or four inches in diameter at the small end.  

Curiously, this freight is northbound out of Milwaukee.  The implication is that these logs are from somewhere south or perhaps they arrived in the Port of Milwaukee having originated somewhere else in the world.

They also look like a denser-ringed, higher value wood and note the colored identification tags affixed to the ends. 

My guess is some sort of high value or exotic wood to be utilized as veneer in the construction of expensive finished doors or cabinetry.

Of course, that is simply idle speculation.  What do I know after-all?  Sure would be nice to know the true and real story.
