CLASS IS IN

Shawn Parker couldn’t be prouder of his 1995 Peterbilt 379, which he named Class in Session. The interior has wood flooring and a chromed-out dash, with lots of red lights inside. The exterior has 8-inch pipes, train horns, 202 LED lights and full fiberglass fenders with ghost flames specially painted by his daughter’s godparents. The truck also features a 500-hp Cummins and plenty of chrome, much of which Parker custom-designed.

SUNNY DAY

Mitch Havard of Kiln, Miss., has driven for nine years and bought his first Peterbilt last year. The 2001 Peterbilt 379 sports a 550-hp Caterpillar with an American Class Platinum Interior. He uses his rig to haul dry bulk.
