East Bernstadt, Ky., resident Robby Gaines bought this 1981 Kenworth W900A from a former boss after hauling refrigerated loads with it for years. Gaines, a member of the American Truck Historical Society’s Bluegrass Chapter, retired the truck after it topped 2.8 million miles, but it’s become a fixture at antique shows since. It’s equipped with a 340-hp Caterpillar and a 9-speed transmission.
