Richards says he started driving when he was 15, and after four years of service in the Navy, he became an owner-operator in 2003. This is the fourth truck he’s owned. Richards also produces a YouTube-based show called Renegade Trucker. See Richards’ episode from this particular load below.

At the rest area next to Richards in the photo is a 1985 Kenworth W900B that Richards says is “owned by Tony at Red Top Trucking. Really nice guy — the truck has been in his family since it was bought new.”
Richards’ truck is powered by a 550-hp Cat and an 18-speed transmission.
