David Kosar is the owner of Dallas, Texas-based RiteWay, a 25-truck fleet. The business was started by David's late father, Frank, 51 years ago. The company started out hauling dairy products, and today they pull reefers, step decks, low boys, dry vans and flatbeds.

David himself drives this 1996 Peterbilt 379, running from Dallas out to the West Coast. It's powered by a 550-hp Cummins N14 with an 18-speed and 3.70 rears. It sits on a 317-inch wheelbase.
