Andy Johnson’s ‘BIG JOHNSON’ Freightliner

August 2010

Cattle haulin' Nebraskans Andrew & Craig Johnson are the owners of the 2002 Freightliner Classic appropriately dubbed "BIG JOHNSON"!

He's got a 550 hp Cat, 18 speed trans, 275 inches of wheelbase, a kickin audio/video sytem and nearly 400 lights!

The trailer is a 2010 Wilson 53ft-triple axle, in which young Andy pioneered a really cool look by having 15 red interior lites installed in the wagon to make for an awesome, but eeery, nite-time glow inside the trailer!

They can legally gross 95,000lb up there around their home state, but when they come to Misery to see us here at CSM, they kinda gotta sneak in and real quietly sneakkkkkkk out!

Our local scalehouse DOT friendlies don't typically see the big ol BEEF hauler rigs like this down round' here, and they usually wanna pull him around back for a lil' closer look-if you know what I mean!

The triple axles on the truck and trailer let Andy haul about 62,000 lbs of cattle-WOW-that's a lotta burgers & steaks!

Andy wants to say a Big thanks to Jake, JT, Ashton, Miranda and Owen for ALWAYS jumpin in as needed and keepin BIG JOHNSON looking good, lit up, and the Pride-O-the-Fleet!
