NYC aggregate hauler's 2012 Kenworth W900

May 17, 2024

Patrick Tompkins owns and operates this 2012 Kenworth W900 and 2021 Mac Steel Dump Quad hauling aggregate and blacktop around southeastern New York and New York City. Before Tompkins bought the truck three years ago, it was totaled and rebuilt by the original owner.

Powered by a 550-hp Cummins ISX with an 18-speed, the rig features a Jones Performance hood, laminate flooring, custom color-matched upholstery inside, and a hardwood deck with recessed marker/turn lamps. Tompkins said he has added a few of his own touches since purchasing the truck and plans on "changing it up a bit in the coming years."
