The month of March brings with it the promise of spring and the end to another long battle with Old Man Winter.  Another truck show season is fast approaching and it's time to get out the polish and shine up your rides for those long awaited competitions of summer.   This month's pick for Working Show Truck is another sharp looking dump truck, owned by Chad Brindle from James Creek, PA.  Chad's jet black 2007 Peterbilt tri-axle dump is another example of a hard working truck that's been turned into a showstopper by its owner.

      Chad hauls hard coal with this black beauty so it definitely gets dirty every day.  You wouldn't know it by looking at all of the polished stainless and chrome and you can see yourself in the fully polished dump body.  The truck is powered by a 475 CAT C15 engine along with an 18-speed transmission and 46 rears.  The truck's 270" wheelbase is decked out with a number of custom features.  Chad has a mini turbo wing on the hood and a 20" Valley Chrome bumper trimmed with lights up front.  A drop visor and polished lower cab panels accent the black paint along with custom green flamed pin striping on the hood.  The coal body is trimmed with a number of extra lights and custom aluminum fenders.  The inside of Chad's coal hauler is every bit as nice as the outside.  Chad has added a custom 4 ft. shifter and chrome gauges decorate the dash.  The interior also features a number of wood accent panels and a fully polished steering column. 

      Though he's only 27 years old, Chad has been trucking for over 8 years and he's already put over 200,000 miles on his Peterbilt.  When he's not driving, Chad enjoys spending time with his family and friends.  He also likes participating in various truck shows and says that his most memorable experience thus far was winning the dump truck class at the Transport for Christ Truck Rally in June 2008 with his son Chaddie Jr.  Chad takes great pride in keeping his coal-hauling Pete looking its best at all times and it shines like a diamond amongst all of the piles of coal.  Congratulations Chad on being chosen as the Movin' Out Working Show Truck of the Month.  Your efforts have turned your Peterbilt into one classy, chromed coal hauler!
