Rod Brantmeier bought this 2000 Kenworth W900 from Maryl and Carol Jones in 2006 and had the “Jones” on the door repainted to say “Jesus” to represent his faith. The rig, which Brantmeier calls “Xcess in Moderation,” has been stretched to 300 inches and is powered by a 525-hp Cummins N14 Celect Plus with an Eaton-Fuller 18-speed and 3:55 rears. It features a 106-inch Double Eagle sleeper that boats a shower, bathroom, full kitchen, two-burner stove, convection oven, 30-inch flatscreen TV, coffee maker, refrigerator/freezer, rooftop air conditioner, a 7,000-watt generator and more. Brantmeier currently pulls a 53-foot van for Landstar hauling hazmat chemicals, fireworks, air freight, trade shows, aviation parts and more. The motorcycle is Brantmeier’s 2003 Suzuki Intruder VL1500.
