Big Orange

Just recently we dabbled in a new segment of the used truck industry. The segment I speak of is the world of custom sleeper trucks. We have had trucks on our lot that have had ICT sleeper conversions, but we've never had a large sleeper truck.......at least until now. We brought in a 2007 KW W900L with a 120" ARI sleeper on it and put our spin on it. The truck didn't need much since it was already really loaded up and very well taken care of, but we always have to put the Interstate Trucks touch on every truck we get. So it was solid orange and we painted the fenders black and had custom painted Harley Davidson graphics put on it. It looked sharp!

Well it caught the eye of a man from Minnesota......and his wife, of course. Kurt and Deb Schuetzler with Top Hat & Tails Transportation came across it on the internet and after seeing it in person and driving it, they decided to take it home and leave behind their 1999 KW W900L with a 110" ARI sleeper. Kurt and Deb haul a variety of products, but most commonly they haul for Purina and on their way home they haul steel. They've got a 2003 Wilson aluminum flatbed trailer with a curtain side attachment, so they are really versatile on what types of loads they can haul. They have one of the best and most desirable setups that any trucker could have. If you have to be out there on the road all the time, why not live comfortably? And these folks definitely deserve to! They have been in this business for 25 years and have put in many long hauls and still manage to be a couple of the most pleasant people we've ever come across.

Our hat is off to you Top Hat & Tails!! Good luck with your new addition and keep on truckin'.
