Daniel and Phyllis Snow, owners of Harrison, Arkansas-based Snow Trucking, are mainstays on the truck show circuit, having won a multitude of awards at shows across the country with their ever-evolving 1996 Freightliner Classic XL, “The Goose.”
Most recently, the couple’s rig picked up two first-place awards in Overdrive’s Pride & Polish virtual competition, winning in Interior and Working Combo, 2000 & Older. The truck also placed second in Antique. That impressive performance follows the 2020 virtual Pride & Polish, where the Snows won in the Working Combo, 2015 & Older category and placed second in Interior.

They have now transformed the sleeper into a master suite decked out with all the amenities – a full kitchen, bathroom, fold-out bed and more. It also features plenty Dark Jade Medium Metallic accents to go along with the rest of the truck, along with plenty of XK Glow lights that can change color and strobe with a click of a button.
Since the 2020 Pride & Polish competition, despite a number of personal challenges the couple faced throughout the year, the Snows have added a new front bumper, switching from a stainless bumper to a Talladega Fiberglass painted bumper to match the paint and striping of the front fenders. That was the result of two accidents in 2020 in which they got hit while parked at a truck stop.
“We try to take whatever is negative and change it to something positive,” Daniel said. “So that’s what we decided to do. The second time we got hit, we decided to go ahead and change colors on the front end. We stayed with the green, of course, but we used the heavy metallic vinyl in the green on the bumper, which matched a lot of the interior we had done in vinyl also.”
The 140-inch sleeper features all the comforts of home, including a kitchen, bathroom and more.
