This model — the 379 — was aimed at the owner operator, it is thought, and it has had quite a successful career being used by truckers everywhere. The long ride. It became THE truck for small trucking fleets and owners, and was Pete’s top seller every year it made them.
Here’s one owned by a driver from Florida and he runs all over the road, not really any further than Virginia to the north, Louisiana to the west. But when he hauled cars, he ran all 48. He talked to BigRig Videos about it. You might picture this truck cruising down the street with the radio going., maybe “Mellow Yellow” playing.
This is a 2003 Peterbilt 379 Frameless Dump Trailer. Could you have guessed it?
Extended hood. With a 2001 Aluminum frameless end-dump trailer. Seven inch stainless straight pipes, flat tops with 90 degree elbows.
Alberts Transport, out of Tampa, Florida, is the label on the door.
It’s not the first truck the driver’s built up from scratch, and with his son, Albert, junior. He has some plans for the viser and fender, so we’ll see what he comes up with next.
