RIG of the<br />

Interview by Wendy Miller<br />
Photos provided by William McPherson<br />
William McPherson was eager to customize his 2019 Peterbilt<br />
389, equipped with a Cummins engine and an 18-speed<br />
transmission. He first added a drop visor, along with a new<br />
light bar, bumper and steering wheel. The truck is still a work<br />
in progress. Most recently he has added a painted dash, new<br />
door-panel pieces, wood floors, new rear fenders, headlights<br />
and stacks. McPherson has been driving on his own for 32<br />
years, after starting out as a team driver with his dad. He now<br />
owns his trailer and primarily hauls steel and aluminum. His<br />
dad is not here to see his son’s progress, but McPherson said<br />
he hopes he would be proud of how far he has come as a<br />
driver — and with spec’ing his rig.<br />
