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.

After filming the Smoky Mountain Big Rig Showdown in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, Chris spotted Austin Kiser rolling down I-40 in his recently purchased 1996 Peterbilt 379 which turned into a ride along and a firsthand look at what his truck does every day. Austin bought the Pete because he needed a shorter truck for local hauling. The 379 is powered by a 5EK CAT, backed by a 13-speed transmission, and rides on a 270-inch wheelbase. Austin pulls a 32ft MAC dump trailer hauling gravel, sand, rock, and other materials to asphalt plants around Tennessee and North Carolina. Chris rides with Austin as he delivers a load of 78-size gravel to an asphalt plant near Knoxville, hear that classic 5EK CAT working through the gears, and take a closer look at the truck’s clean but practical interior completed by the crew at Semi Casual. Austin also shares the history of Kiser Trucking, a family operation that dates back to the late 1960s or early 1970s and has grown to approximately 40 to 45 trucks. He talks about growing up around the business, driving for his father, owning his own truck, and choosing local work so he can spend more time with his growing family. We also get Austin’s thoughts on the first Smoky Mountain Big Rig Showdown and why he believes the event will be even bigger next year. #BigRigVideos #Peterbilt379 #AustinKiser #KiserTrucking #5EKCAT #CaterpillarDiesel #WorkingTruck #SmokyMountainBigRigShowdow #SemiCasual #TruckShow #OwnerOperator Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWVH1gwSYZwMZFqCspdw2Rw/join ©Copyright Big Rig Videos, LLC. / Produced By: Christopher E.

Come along with Chris, Brian and 14-year-old Fred Rethwisch as they examine this true Peterbilt time capsule before meeting its new owner and getting the complete story. What showed up was an incredible piece of trucking history at the Smoky Mountain Big Rig Showdown in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. It's a remarkably original 1985 Peterbilt 359 short hood with only 136,000 original miles. Owner Justin Odom of Robbinsville, North Carolina, had been searching for the right old-school Peterbilt for years. Just when he was about ready to give up, this truck appeared on Facebook Marketplace. Justin found the listing only 15 minutes after it was posted, made an offer, and purchased the truck just days before bringing it to the show. This 359 still wears its original paint and features a 475 Cummins, original seats, period-correct lights and a rare Double Eagle sleeper with two teardrop rear windows. The sleeper still has its original refrigerator, mattress and color television—and they still work! Justin also has the original paperwork showing a 1985 purchase price of $74,344, including more than $10,000 for the Double Eagle sleeper. After being kept in climate-controlled storage since approximately 2000, this Peterbilt remains in unbelievable condition. #BigRigVideos #Peterbilt359 #Peterbilt #OldSchoolTrucking #ClassicTruck #TruckShow #DoubleEagleSleeper #CumminsPower #SmokyMountainBigRigShowdown Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWVH1gwSYZwMZFqCspdw2Rw/join ©Copyright Big Rig Videos, LLC. / Produced By: Christopher E.

Brandon Smith definitely understood the assignment with this incredible 2024 Peterbilt 389 and matching custom bulk tanker! Chris caught up with Brandon at the 2026 Smoky Mountain Big Rig Showdown in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, for a complete walkaround of this North Sea Gray and Grabber Blue combination. The truck features a 565-horsepower Cummins X15, an 18-speed transmission, 3.42 rear gears, a 280-inch wheelbase and only around 4,500 miles. Built with help from Jeff at 12 Gauge Customs, Jim Higgins and several other talented craftsmen, the Peterbilt is packed with custom details. Highlights include a tapered miter-cut bumper, a 379-style grille surround, a custom diamond-pattern grille, single-square headlights, a 359 hood strip, glass watermelon lights, hidden air ride components, custom stainless deck plating and milled aluminum diamond accents surrounding the lights on the back of the sleeper. The interior by Spare Time Fab blends old-school and new-school styling with button-tuck upholstery, suede accents, custom floor mats and a two-stick setup. Brandon also transformed a used 2018 steel pneumatic tanker into a matching bottom-drop bulk trailer. The trailer was stripped down, smoothed, painted and customized with stainless-steel details, Shift fenders, glass-lens LED lights and diamond accents that carry the truck’s theme from front to back. The combination is known as “Understood Assignment,” and although it currently spends most of its time traveling to truck shows, Brandon plans to eventually put it to work hauling glass-related materials and pulling dump trailers. This is also Brandon’s first brand-new truck after trucking since 1999, making this one-of-a-kind Peterbilt build even more meaningful. #BigRigVideos #Peterbilt389 #PeterbiltTrucks #CustomPeterbilt #UnderstoodAssignment #SmokyMountainBigRigShowdown #CustomTrucks #TruckShow #BulkTanker #OldSchoolTrucking #CumminsX15 #PigeonForge Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWVH1gwSYZwMZFqCspdw2Rw/join ©Copyright Big Rig Videos, LLC. / Produced By: Christopher E.

Jason Loyer of Loyer Farms gives us a detailed tour of “Tax Exempt,” the family’s beautifully restored 1989 Mack Superliner II, at the 2026 Smoky Mountain Big Rig Showdown in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Jason and his family spent approximately two and a half years transforming the former dump truck back into a tractor. The build features a custom Valley Chrome bumper, metallic red and charcoal paint inspired by a Mack Superliner their father owned years ago, a handcrafted wood floor, custom fuel tanks, polished aluminum, six-inch exhaust stacks, the original Mack engine and transmission, and countless period-correct details. Because replacement parts for these older Mack trucks are not always available, the Loyer Farms team had to find, fabricate, restore, or custom-build many of the components. The truck was completed just in time for the 2026 Mid-America Trucking Show and will eventually return to work pulling a hopper trailer—although it may be reserved for fair-weather duty. Jason also talks about the family members, friends, painters, polishers, fabricators, and parts specialists who helped bring “Tax Exempt” back to life. #MackSuperLiner #MackTrucks #TaxExempt #OldSchoolTrucking #CustomTrucks #SemiTrucks #TruckShow #BigRigVideos #SmokyMountainBigRigShowdown #LoyerFarms Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWVH1gwSYZwMZFqCspdw2Rw/join ©Copyright Big Rig Videos, LLC. / Produced By: Christopher E.
