Clanton, Alabama-based owner-operator Jason "Otis" Harris has always been a fan of Peterbilts and the color yellow. With his 2024 389, he got the best of both worlds.
Harris showed his Pete at the 2024 Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky, in March. The Oakley Trucking-leased owner-operator pulls a 2024 Mac end dump hauling anything from scrap and mill scale to waste, hazmat and more.

When Harris purchased the truck. he added Talladega Fiberglass rear fenders, Trux Dual Revolution lights that change to blue, a 14.5-inch drop visor color-matched to the rig, and a 20-inch lift bumper -- "a chore in itself," Harris said.
Unlike many lift bumpers, Harris' lifts vertically instead of horizontally.
Inside the rig, Harris has added a few custom touches with chrome accents on the dash, with more plans to redo the entire interior down the line. "We’ll slowly get there," he said. The truck boasts a 565-hp Cummins with an 18-speed under the hood, which Harris said he may add some chrome to in the future.
A unique feature on the truck is the wrap on the rear fenders, completed by P1 Graphics. A friend of Harris's works on old cars, and a design he put on a car gave Harris the idea.
