Zebedee Steinmann has owned and run this 1987 Peterbilt 359 daily for three years. It primarily pulls flatbed freight with a 2020 Mac with the occasional RGN and reefer "to help some friends out," Steinmann said. 

The rig was previously powered by a Cummins NTC 350 with a 15-speed, and today boasts a 1994-model mechanical Cummins N14 with an Eaton 13-speed. It also features a 2006 Meritor steer axle on an air-ride suspension, a 2006 Flex Air rear suspension, and 3.36 rears. Steinmann personally maintains the rig, doing the repairs and modifications.
