Jun 1, 2011

Terry Carnahan of Huntsville, Mo., hauls feed, grain and fertilizer with his 1995 Kenworth W900. After a friend dubbed it “Black Magic,” Carnahan added decals to make it official. The truck is equipped with a 500-hp Cummins and a 13-speed transmission. “It looks like an old truck with a pissed-off attitude,” Carnahan says. “A lot of guys say it looks like something out of a movie.”

In a tough spot market, strong relationships with those who feed you will pay off

Fewer loads available, too many truckers competing for those loads. Such has been the case in recent times. As the market hits bottom, relationships with brokers or direct shippers is more important than ever.
