Mike and his family own The Trailer Depot in Northford Connecticut and sell all types of trailers. Mike uses the 2002 Peterbilt 379 and 2007 Fontaine 48’ step deck to pick up and deliver all the trailers he sells and services.
The 2020 Blessing of the Trucks was held on August 15 in Shipshewana IN.The weather was great and 115 trucks showed up.
If you know Lavern Cross, then you know he’s a big time A model guy. He bought his first W900A Kenworth in 1988, and this is his 3rd A model.
September 24-26 was a great weekend for a truck show! There was no humidity and no chance of rain and for September the temperature was actually cool, not as cool as the trucks that had assembled for this show. Wow, what a turnout for this show.
Scott Diller of Lanita Specialized named the 2018 Kenworth W900L and 2018 Mac trailer you see here “Last Hurrah”. The reason for that name is because this will be the last big build Scott plans on doing.
As time goes by and modernization takes place all good things must come to an end. New upgrades in designs, styling, comfort and technology take the place of the luxuries we’ve already become accustomed to. After a 21 year run beginning in 1959 the Peterbilt 352 was ready to be phased out with the 1980 model year. Replacing the 352, 282 and 352H will be the newly designed and innovative 1981 Peterbilt 362.
Age 17 CJ Redwine sent us this month’s Diesel Doodle.
I caught this cool 108” K100 rolling down I-95 in Springfield Virginia back in the mid 80’s
Michael Taylor gets the honor of driving this large 2019 Peterbilt 389 glider for LVT. Michael has worked for LVT for 19 years and this is his second big ride they have allowed him to build and drive.
So this 1999 379 has a personality as big as the owner and a lot of little trick things you have to really stand and take notice to even see. Of course there’s the big stuff you see rite away like the 359 dash from 4-states and the Hogebuilt fenders but its all the little trick stuff that I enjoy, like airplane lights used for the dome lights and so much more!

On September 19th 2020 Leroy Keens held his annual East Coast Marmon Truck Meet at Weaver Markets in Denver Pennsylvania. If you’ve always wanted to check out a Marmon truck up close this is the show for you!
Forty-five trucks attended the Second Annual Jaeschke Trucking Truck Show, held on a warm Saturday in July at the Webster County Fairgrounds in Fort Dodge, Iowa.
Phil Levasseur of Plymouth Massachusetts is no stranger to cool Kenworth’s, as his last W900L was a real head turner. We were lucky enough to be able to shoot his brand new 2021 Kenworth W900L just before it went to work hauling gasoline and jet fuel throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island and the occasional trip to Virginia.
