Jared Dean’s 2001 Peterbilt 379

Aug 12, 2016

This 2001 Peterbilt 379 is owned by 30-year-old Jared Dean out of Wahoo, Neb. It’s powered by a Caterpillar C15 6NZ and falls somewhere around 650 horsepower, he says. The truck has a stainless steel 20-inch Texas-style bumper and a set of 8-inch West Coast Turnout stacks from Lincoln Chrome. Dean has also made some upgrades to the interior, such as a custom shifter and leather low-ride seats. He hauls feeder calves in Nebraska and throughout the Midwest.

Ledford got his start trucking after working a dock where his manager said Ledford would never drive truck. Not only would he drive, he'd grow a fleet well beyond 30 trucks before selling out. MRL Transport is his second turn in the barrel, and Ledford's hit a profitability sweet spot.
