Schmitt 2020 04 21 08 41

Joe Schmitt drives this 2017 Peterbilt 389 for Pfister Bulk Transport out of New Holstein, Wisconsin, pulling hopper bottoms hauling bulk commodities. The rig is powered by a 500-hp Paccar MX-13 with an Eaton 18-speed and 3:25 rears. The trailer is a 44-foot 2019 Mac pneumatic tanker with a mirror finish. The modest customizations to the truck include a 20-inch bumper, some lights and the striping on the truck. Pfister owns the truck and trailer, which Schmitt drives through the Lower 48 and Canada. During his 30-year driving career, Schmitt has amassed more than 3 million accident-free miles and has been both an owner-operator and company driver.
