Four generations of show-quality, long-hood Petes shine for Alabama fleet

Alabama-based small fleet owner David McKinney, a self-proclaimed "Peterbilt guy," has been trucking since the mid-1990s and today runs an 18-truck fleet. Here, four of the fleet's trucks are featured -- one each from the last four generations of long-hood Petes.

West Virginia-headquartered Patrick White has faced -- and overcome -- his share of adversity during a 25-plus-year trucking career. Sheer determination and willpower have brought him through not only tough economic times, but also personal difficulties might have driven others out of trucking entirely. White is Overdrive's Trucker of the Month for January.
