At just 21 years old, Devin Castleman of Long Lane, Missouri, is only a few months into his trucking career—but he's already behind the wheel of an impressive 2026 Kenworth W900. Chris caught up with Devin at the 2026 Laid Back on I-55 Truck Show in Perryville, Missouri, where he shared how growing up around a family sale barn and riding with his grandfather planted the seed for a career in trucking. After earning his CDL in March, Devin traded his previous job as a union paving operator for the open road and hasn't looked back. The W900, owned by Justin Croff, features British Racing Green accents, custom pinstriping, front Air Ride and interior work completed by "Built By Wolf" in California. Underneath, it's equipped with a Cummins X15, 18-speed transmission, 3.36 rears and a 291-inch wheelbase. And this isn't just a show truck. With more than 38,000 miles already on it, it's been put to work hauling cattle, horses and live chickens, with grain hauling next on the schedule. Devin has even already made the run to California as part of a team-driving trip. What makes Devin's story especially interesting is how quickly things came together. He earned his CDL, asked Justin if he needed a driver, and soon found himself with a full-time trucking job. His advice to other young people thinking about trucking is simple: take the shot. #BigRigVideos #KenworthW900 #Kenworth #Trucking #TruckDriver #CDL #CustomTrucks #WorkingTrucks #SemiTrucks #LaidBackOnI55 #TruckShow #PerryvilleMissouri Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWVH1gwSYZwMZFqCspdw2Rw/join ©Copyright Big Rig Videos, LLC. / Produced By: Christopher E.

At the 2026 Laid Back on I-55 Truck Show in Perryville, Missouri, Chris caught up with Maurice “Mo” Zurliene of New Baden, Illinois, and his remarkably preserved 1982 Ford LTL 9000. Mo is only the second owner of this Ford, which was originally ordered and specced by its first owner before he drove it right off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1981. The truck is powered by an 8V92 Silver Series V8 Detroit Diesel, backed by a 13-speed transmission, and has just 488,000 miles on it. Even more impressive, the paint is still original, the truck retains many of the options documented on its original build sheets, and it has only had one trailer hooked to it in the last 30 years. Mo says that when he finally did pull a trailer with it, the old Ford “drove like a Cadillac.” We take a closer look inside and underneath this classic LTL, and fire up that two-stroke Detroit to hear it run. Mo has decided it’s time for the Ford to find its next caretaker, and his biggest hope is that whoever gets it will continue preserving it as the show truck it has become. #BigRigVideos #FordLTL9000 #FordTrucks #8V92Detroit #detroitdiesel #TwoStrokeDetroit #ClassicTrucks #OldSchoolTrucking #semitrucks #truckshow #LaidBackOnI55 #PerryvilleMissouri #VintageTrucks #BigRigs Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWVH1gwSYZwMZFqCspdw2Rw/join ©Copyright Big Rig Videos, LLC. / Produced By: Christopher E.

Before the trucks roll in, we’re taking a tour around downtown Perryville, Missouri with James Stegall to see what this town has to offer during Laid Back on I-55 truck show weekend. Along the way, we find some pretty interesting places — including a shoe store with 7 generations of family history, locally roasted coffee, custom truck lettering and graphics, a full-service spa inside Perry County’s first hotel, great food, Airbnbs overlooking downtown and the American Tractor Museum with more than 100 tractors. James also gives us a look at where the trucks will be parked, the VIP area, the trucker rodeo location, combo parking and where drivers need to go for registration. Once the trucks, lights, vendors and music fill the streets around the courthouse, downtown Perryville becomes a pretty incredible setting for the Laid Back on I-55 truck show. #BigRigVideos #PerryvilleMissouri #truckshow #SemiTrucks #BigRigs #CustomTrucks #Peterbilt #Kenworth #trucking #DowntownPerryville Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWVH1gwSYZwMZFqCspdw2Rw/join ©Copyright Big Rig Videos, LLC. / Produced By: Christopher E.
