Heidi Bowlby owns this 2005 Volvo VNL 780 and 2008 Vanguard trailer that was spray-painted by hand and clear-coated. The truck is equipped with a 450-horsepower Cummins ISX and 10-speed Eaton Fuller Ultrashift. Bowlby, out of Kings Mountain, N.C., hauls any general freight that can be hauled in a dry van.
