Midnight Rider: 2005 Peterbilt 379

Jerry KleinsasserJerry Kleinsasser of Frankfort, S.D., tore his 2005 Peterbilt 379 to bare frames and rebuilt and customized the truck equipped with a 550-hp Caterpillar and an 18-speed transmission. Kleinsasser hauls equipment – enjoying oversized loads best – and for the custom paint job, he turned to Facebook to find his painter. He named the truck Midnight Rider because he enjoys driving at night.
