East TexasEast Texas plowboy

W.J. Moore, known on the air waves as the East Texas Plowboy, owns this 1993 Kenworth W900L, which runs on a 460-hp Cummins and an 18-speed transmission. Moore hauls lumber under his own authority from Pineland, Texas, to Houston. Before Moore owned it, the truck won an award at Overdrive’s Pride & Polish in 1997. Moore says he likes the paint job the best of all the truck’s customizing. He owns the 1999 Trans Trap flatbed pictured here. Moore has been driving for 49 years and has been an owner-operator for 23.
