Or if you like to drink beer, or eat a nice meal, a truck got those goods to your supermarket....

Here are some of my favorite OTR trucks and some from a few truck shows i atend...

starting off Dustin Fosters Pete 379

i love a show truck, but i sure as hell don't wanna see one on a jobsite. i have enough to worry about without worrying about getting a pretty truck scratched.

Acosta has a crazy nice pete. If im not mistaken,he has the front end on airbags. Think there is a video clip of him "dumping" the front with a coke can under the bumper and it almost flattens it out. :drinkup:notworthy


Crazy to think these trucks are everyday haulers! :usa
