Mission, Texas-based Greg Huerta started his Cristy Ally Heavy Transport in 1994 and today runs a fleet of 25 trucks specializing in “super heavy loads,” Huerta said. The fleet is named for Huerta’s wife, Cristy, and his first daughter, Allison.
Huerta, a third-generation trucker, said that “since I was a kid in Pampers, I’ve been in trucks.”

One of the newest in the bunch is featured in the video up top. It’s a 2025 Peterbilt 589 Huerta ordered in 2024 from Rush Peterbilt “with super-heavy specs,” he said -- 52,000-pound rears, a 605-hp Cummins X15 with 2,050 lb.-ft. torque and an 18-speed automatic. “She gets the job done,” he said.
He had the rig on display at the 2026 Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky, where Overdrive caught up with him and his truck's plentiful custom touches, including a visor, extra lights, special paint on the rear fenders that includes some pearl that shines in the sun.
He also had the breathers and tanks painted to match the cab.
Huerta designed the headache rack and had it built by Brunner Industries.
The blue paint scheme is a Cristy Ally fleet staple dating back to the owner's first truck, purchased in the ‘90s. The orange frame idea came from “a gentleman that works for Fitzgerald Trucks,” he said. When the rig first arrived, “it had no chrome. It had an orange bumper when I got it from the factory. It had no mufflers, had no visor, and it didn’t look very nice.”
Huerta was thinking: “I did a big mistake, but it turned out good once we did the fenders, the chrome, the lights.”
Perhaps the most unique feature on the truck is inside the rig, a Rolls-Royce-inspired headliner.
The headliner is suede and features star lights that blink, with the occasional shooting star streaking across the ceiling.
Some of the truck’s custom pieces came from 4 State Trucks in Joplin, Missouri, others from Iowa Customs. There were “several people that helped us out to put it together,” Huerta noted.
The company logo is stamped into the front grille.
On the rear of the truck, in addition to the fifth wheel, it also boasts a Rockinger hitch “to pull the big trailers,” Huerta said. “It doesn’t just pull off the fifth wheel, it pulls off the bumper, too. The big super loads go off the bumper.”
Huerta gave the truck the nickname "Heartbreaker 1" when he was talking with his wife about what to name it.
"That was the first thing that came to my head, heartbreaker. You know, I'm going to break people's hearts if I beat them" in truck show competitions, he said.
There's also a "Heartbreaker 2" in the Cristy Ally fleet, but it wasn't quite ready to make its debut at MATS this year, he noted.

Greg Huerta: This is a 589 Peterbilt and I ordered it with a super heavy specs. It's got 52,000 rears. Got a 605 Cummins 2050 torque with an 18-speed automatic. And she gets a job done.
My name is Greg Huerta. And the name of the business Cristy Ally. A lot of people ask if I'm facilitated with a movie star from California. Which I'm not, let me get that straight. Cristy is my wife and my first daughter's name is Allison, so we came up with the name Cristy Ally. This business, back in ’94, I've been in the trucking business since ‘94.
I'm third generation in the trucking business. Since I was a kid in Pampers, I've been in trucks.
Overdrive: Was there any details on the truck that you'd like to point out?
Greg Huerta: Well, just like I say, the front end of the truck. On the logo, you know, the grille on it. As you can see, we've done a lot of work with the visor, the lights, some of the interior work.
Overdrive: What kind of work did you do on the interior?
Greg Huerta: We did the headliner suede and the star lights. I got that idea from a Rolls-Royce car. You know, I keep it blue for the most part, but you can change colors. Any really, any colors you like. There was a falling star.
Overdrive: I bet that looks cool at night.
Greg Huerta: Oh, yes, sir, it does. We had these, out of billet aluminum, the fire extinguishers. We don't want to do no stickers.
Overdrive: Who made the headache rack?
Greg Huerta: I designed it, but it’s Brunner. During the build, we did some painting on the fenders. We put some pearl in it. Rockinger hitch to pull the big trailers. Hitch like that sets you back $15,000. It's a tow-bar style trailer. This pivots, it goes up and down. This is where you connect it.
You'll see in the back with the fenders and the, you know, where we pull the trailers, it was all my design. Some of the stuff came from Iowa Custom. Some of it came from 4 State. Several people that helped us out to put it together.
Name for the truck? Heartbreaker. Heartbreaker 1.
Overdrive: OK. How'd you come up with that?
Greg Huerta: You know, it just, I was talking to my wife, and, that was the first thing that came to my head. Heartbreaker. You know, I'm going to break people's hearts if I beat them. So I named that Heartbreaker 1 because we do have another show truck, and that was going to be Heartbreaker 2. We were going to bring it, but we didn't make it doing the final touch-ups on it.
