Bruns

Tennessee-headquartered Kevin Bruns owns this 2019 International LoneStar, with which he pulls a 53-foot Transcraft step deck today leased to Bennett Motor Express. The rig is powered by a 500-hp Cummins X15 with an 18-speed Eaton-Fuller and 3.55 rears with full locking differentials. 

It sits on a 260-inch wheelbase. Bruns said the truck was originally purchased by an owner-operator in Canada, spec'd "with just about every option."

Hear more of Bruns' story in this 2025 edition of Overdrive Radio, published before the owner-operator leased to Bennett later in the year:
