Peterbilt trucks, and a living history with three owners of a 359, 379 and 389

Overdrive Radio

The mood among truck owner participants in Peterbilt's sixth-ever, invite-only Pride & Class parade event and truck show in Denton, Texas, this past October might have been marred by the freight demand situation. As Texas fleet owner and custom-truck builder Troy Massey of Massey Motor Freight put it, "If you're not struggling in trucking, you better be real quiet about it." Certainly don’t tell anyone just how you're achieving your success, Massey went on from there to say. If you do, chances are they’ll be coming for your business soon enough. Yet the mood at the Pride & Class event for truck owners was upbeat, for Massey too. "This is a pretty prestigious event" for Peterbilt owners and enthusiasts, he said, and represented his first invite. "I'm pretty excited." The same was true for two other owners featured in this edition of Overdrive Radio. Settle in for a tour through history via three models in a long lineage of Petes, from a 1984 vintage Peterbilt 359 custom restored by owner-operator Greg Crispell: https://www.overdriveonline.com/custom-rigs/video/15661158/ownerop-greg-crispells-finely-tuned-flattop-1984-peterbilt-359 To oil and gas pipeline professional Jarrett Landry’s “oversize dually,” as he quipped about the single-drive-axle former daycab 1988 379: https://www.overdriveonline.com/life/article/15636541/peterbilts-sixth-annual-pride-class-parade-kicks-off And, finally, Troy Massey’s latest custom creation, moving well forward to model year 2022 of the 389. With the 589 taking that model’s place in the long-hood genre for Pete this year, consider this edition something of a tribute to all that’s come before, and all that remains well-entrenched in the present through the work of these owner-operators.
