The pristine 2019 Peterbilt 389 heavy-haul glider of Aaron Walters

Owner-operator Aaron Walters got in under the wire of significant declines in glider kit production with his purchase of this 2019 Peterbilt 389, powered by a 1999-built Caterpillar and outfitted for the high-wide-and-ugly freight operation of Walters Transport Service of Pipestone, Minnesota.
His father launched the company more than a decade ago, Walters notes in this video. Overdrive caught up with Walters on the site of the Walcott Truckers Jamboree back in July this summer, where he took first in his Bobtail 2018-'21 class and won the Bobtail, Show Only portion of the Lights at Night competition.
Walters and his father own just two trucks, but maintain numbers higher than that of massive 12-axle and other trailers for hauling wind-energy-related freight, as Walters notes in the video.
His own operation, with a 12-axle coupled, brings his combination to 126 feet long, often grossing well over 200K lbs. on weight most of the time.
A few owner-operators with their authority run for the company on a power-only basis.
Peterbilt of Sioux Falls did much of the work on the interior of this rig, with plenty in the way of custom accents, painted trim pieces, floor and more. Nu-Gen Services out of Port Allen, Louisiana, handled the exterior, with the addition of plenty in the way of 12ga Customs parts -- steps, mirror brackets, air cleaners, 8-inch cab extenders and more.
Catch views of several unique touches on this high-class rig in the video. And if you missed it during the Walcott show, here's a photo of it under a rainbow that capped Day One of the event at Iowa 80: www.overdriveo...
