This custom Pete has caught our attention again and again, and finally I had to search it out and write about it.
It’s a 2009 Peterbilt 389 tri-axle, and the guy who pointed us toward this great truck is a member of the Facebook page, John McCabe.
The owner-operator of this truck, heavy hauler Randy Supak, calls the truck “Bad Habit,” and it runs for Equipment Express out of Texas (Caldwell), a trucking company that does pipeline equipment and other transport. This custom semi truck has a 600 horsepower Cat engine pulling it and a 315 inch wheelbase, and that custom blue and silver paint job that stretches across the truck and its decent sized sleeper unit — not a big studio sleeper like the ARI sleepers we sometimes feature, but one that suits the style and type of vehicle here — that might just have gotten into a nice sweet spot between not too much and just enough. I wonder what this guy would do with a giant studio sleeper or a motorhome-ized tractor!
Note that this custom Peterbilt is not to be confused with the other truck called “Bad Habit”, which is an International Lone Star created for Regional International by Elizabeth Truck Center. That one’s a cherry colored new International with “tribal” style custom paint.
You might also confuse this one with another of Supak’s custom trucks. You see those racing flag type graphics on the photo above. Well, he has another truck with a paint scheme where it was blue like it is but with silver-grey outlines trailing from the nose backward on the sides, also a tri-axle, but a Kenworth. I wonder what this guy would do with a giant Here’s an interior shot:
