Tractor of the Week

Driver: Chris Thomas

Company: Autumn Transport

Tractor: 2000 Freightliner Classic XL Cummins N-14 Celect Plus 525HP/1850 Torque

Notes from Chris: Bought in 2013 and ran it ever since, have redone or rebuilt nearly everything on it over the years except the paint. The truck has become as much a part of me as I am of it. To me, the fact that I can do it the way I do shows that the American Dream is still very much alive and freedom is still available to folks out there. Been everywhere except California in it.
