May's Truck of the Month is a 2007 Kenworth W900L. It’s powered by a C15 Caterpillar ACERT delivering 475 bhp. The 18 speed transmission runs the power to 3.36 rears on a 280 inch wheelbase. The KW has an 86 inch Studio Sleeper which features a 13 inch color TV with DVD player, fridge, pull-down sofa and an “upstairs” bunk.
Bill Harvey, of Midland, Pennsylvania, is the lucky driver of this eye-catching rig. Bill drives for Beemac Trucking, Ambridge, PA, and runs the entire continental US but most of his deliveries are east of the Mississippi river.
Harvey’s KW pulls a 2007 East 53’ aluminum flat-bed spread-axle trailer with a Roll-tite Conestoga tarping system.
Bill has 29 years of accident-free driving and has tanker and doubles/triples endorsements. He pulled doubles for about 8 years and has been with Beemac Trucking for 14 years.
Beemac Operations Director Dave Dudo had this praise for Harvey: “We are proud to have Bill driving for Beemac Trucking. He is an excellent, safe driver who always displays the utmost level of class and professionalism. Bill represents Beemac Trucking very well to our employees and customers. I have never seen Bill in a dirty truck, as he has always kept his interior and exterior clean. Bill is a true asset to the trucking industry and we are proud to have him on our team.”
