Francis Loretangeli, out of Greenwood, Delaware, owns this 2004 Western Star 4900 Lowmax. The rig sports a 500-hp Detroit with an Eaton 13-speed. Loretangeli bought the truck in Missouri and took it to 4 State Trucks to add a drop visor, bumper, stainless accessories on the exterior and interior and a Centramatic APU. He also had the truck stretched from a 265-inch wheelbase to a 305-inch wheelbase. Brunners Fabrication in Joplin, Missouri, added the headache rack. John Calhoun drives the truck for Loretangeli, hauling oversize loads, HVAC equipment, steel and other freight with a step deck.
