Duncan Excavating/Jacob Duncan, Driver

Jacob Duncan of Duncan Excavating moves the Earth – literally with his stunning 2025 Peterbilt 567 with a Cummins X15 engine, Allison 4500RDS transmission, 46,000 lbs. Meritor rear end, and a Morocco Welding smooth side aluminum bed.

Jacob, a graduate of Washington and Jefferson College,  is the 3rd generation to be working in the family business, which was started in 1958 by his grandfather Jack T. Duncan.  Today, his father Jeff Duncan runs the company.

Duncan Excavating hauls screened topsoil and bulk landscape material in the Pittsburgh area.

In late April, Duncan Excavating supplied and hauled (along with other dump hauling companies) 26 MILLION pounds of dirt from their soil site in South Park, Pennsylvania to construct the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship event track at Acrisure.  When  the race was over, the dirt was moved out of the stadium to a back parking lot just down the street.  I did a ride along with Jacob in mid-May as he was moving the 26 MILLION pounds of dirt back to Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh for the Monster Jam Truck Show.   It took the drivers of  the 18 dump trucks around 12 hours to complete the job. 

The Duncans wanted to thank Ryan Fogarty of Hunter Trucks for finding the 2025 Peterbilt 567 truck for them and Mickey Morocco of Morocco Welding.

Thanks for letting me ride shotgun in your awesome Peterbilt 567, Jacob!
