MHC Kenworth opens new Topeka location

Apr 4, 2013

MHC Kenworth has opened a new dealership in Topeka, Kan. The building, designed with green technology, is located off Interstate 70, at 209 MacVicar Avenue. The 35,000-square- foot facility hosts energy-efficient geothermal temperature control features, as well as translucent hollow-core overhead doors in the service department to allow natural light into the building and provide insulation.

Owner-operator Raiko Graveran might be the 'nicest dude in all of trucking,' a version of which has been said by more than one truck showgoer who's found him and his 1995 Freightliner FLD 120 parked up. Here he's showing off fairly recent wins at the Old Town Rig Down event in Nacogdoches, Texas. Look for Graveran out at the Stars, Stripes and White Lines event this week in Atlanta.

Red, white and 'Little Blue': The story of owner-operator Raiko Graveran

RGT Transport owner Graveran came to the United States in '08 on a raft from Cuba, ultimately able to gain legal permanent resident status with the immigration policy of the time. Today, he's the proud owner of a multi-award-winning custom '95 FLD flattop that cuts a unique picture on the show circuit.
