"Stories"

This month's Showusyourtruck.com winners are two fantastic looking working-class Kenworths. These owner operators have invested a lot of time and work keeping their rigs looking sharp and professional. In the Mercer category, Adrian Tardy turns heads with his Kenworth W900L. In the "Best of the Rest" category,  James Good won with his '96 KW, "Blue Streak."

Although Adrian Tardie is fairly new to Mercer, he's no stranger to trucking. He's proud to point out that his '98 KW has driven 1,600,000 miles and counting. This truck features a 550 CAT engine and 18 speed transmission as well as custom pinstripes, drop visor, and headache rack. With help from his seventeen-year-old son, Tadd, Tardie makes sure that his truck looks nice and is in top shape inside and out. He explains, "A clean truck means a clean driver." When Tardie first purchased this truck, he had been diagnosed with cancer, and since he has beat the disease and found success with Mercer, the truck has become sentimental to himself and his family.

James Good's "Blue Streak" is in great condition, with a shiny sky-blue exterior and navy pin striping. The '96 Kenworth is a T800 model, featuring 425 CAT engine and a 15 speed transmission. If the truck's neat appearance doesn't already clue you in, it's clear that Good takes pride in what he does and he has an impressive 1.3 million miles on this truck to show for it.
