TOWN LIFE PT 26; TRUCK PARADE PT 2

 Hillsdale is hosting a truck parade, with a number of regional trucks participating...

Another one of the trucks is this KW K100 Aerodyne, with added sleeper. Yet another one of the local produce haulers.

Another Peterbilt 389 with custom paint on both tractor and trailer.

Another look at the Ford CLT9000.  While cab-overs are rare these days, CLT9000's are even more scarce. Class 8 Fords in general are rare nowadays, since Ford exited the market in 1996, and sold the division to Freightliner, who re-branded it Sterling, which lasted just over a decade before being shut down in 2009. During the 80's, APMT, APRR's trucking affiliate, operated a small fleet of these trucks in this paint scheme; this may well be one of those trucks!

A Pete 389 tows a goose-neck detachable, loaded with a Caterpillar  320D L excavator.

One of a number of cattle trucks found in the region, serving dairy farms, is this KW W900A.

Another spread-axle reefer pulled by a Pete.

A KW pulls this spread-axle reefer.

The last truck is, perhaps, the best one. A KW K100 Aerodyne pulls a specially painted 45' trailer honoring POW's and MIA's.

The final semi also leads us into next week, as we celebrate our nation's birthday. Here's an early Happy Fourth of July!
