High Valley’s custom military, aerospace hauler

Updated Jun 16, 2016

Owner-operator Shane Becker of Ramona, Cailf., runs the West hauling military equipment, jet engines and oversized aerospace equipment with this 1999 Peterbilt 379.

The truck is powered by a 625-hp Caterpillar and a 10-speed transmission, and Becker’s loaded the truck with custom features. Becker has added a Jones Performance hood and fenders, a 20-inch Valley Chrome bumper with a flip kit, drop visor, 1,200-watt sound system, LED flat screen and more. Becker says he and his son Mikey did the bulk of the custom work. Becker’s High Valley Trucking will also turn 20 this year. “Something my family and I are very proud of,” he said.
