Russell Fox leases his 1997 Peterbilt 379 with McEnroe Logistics in Kalamazoo, Michigan, doing towaway work. It's powered by a 550-hp Cat with an 18-speed. The rig has 2.6 million miles and is on its second rebuild and second transmission, but still sports its original rears. Fox says using the truck in towaway has given it an "easy life when you're delivering new empty trailers most of the time."
