No. 136, as this 2009 Peterbilt 388 is known to shipping container hauler Yamko Truck Lines, based in Long Beach, Calif., is one of two trucks from a purchase that resulted in a few Best of Show victories at Pride & Polish events in Las Vegas and California — those coming after fleet manager John Gonzales, seen above in the video, and his crew had time to work their customizing magic on the two rigs.
