Grain Haulin

Submitted by James Burgess

James Burgess, out of Orangeburg, South Carolina, hauls mostly Feed Ingredients with his 2020 Freightliner Coronado and 2021 Timpte Hopper. The rig is powered by a 500-hp Detroit with an Eaton 13-speed with a 3:42 ratio. He hasn’t done much custom work with the truck other than some chrome gauge bezels, buttons, interior lighting and matching shifter and brake handles. On the to-do list more lights on the exterior (truck and trailer) and wood floor.
