"I've been trucking over 20 years. My dad had a
construction company and we had to move heavy equipment. I
started driving dump trucks and moved up to 18-wheelers.
This truck has a 280-inch wheelbase, 550 Cat, 18-speed.
Drive train is original. We run Rotella® T4 on
15,000-mile cycles. Been running it for over 15 years.
Have had good longevity out of it and there is no reason
to change. We get 1,000,000 miles out of the trucks. 15th
year of coming to SuperRigs®. Love coming. It's
good camaraderie. Like a trucker's reunion. Y'all treat us
like family."

"This is our first SuperRigs®. The main reason
we came is because I wanted to see what the hype was
about. I remember looking at the calendars when I was a
kid and going "man...if I could get on it". The fact that
we were chosen over the iron here is a very surreal thing.
Just amazing. We built this truck around the sleeper,
wanted to match the mid 90's vibe of it. The engine is a
Cummins X15 565, 2050 torque, 18-speed transmission, 336
rears. We run T5 in it and it's really helped with the
idle issues when we first got the truck."
