Equipment hauler John Johnson drives this 2012 Peterbilt 389 for RD Reed Heavy Transport. The truck is powered by a 550-hp Cummins and an 18-speed transmission. Johnson’s based out of El Cajon, Calif., and he mostly runs the I-10 corridor to Houston and back, he says. He’s added a few aftermarket touches, including the rig’s fenders, drop visor and tool boxes.
