About Peterbilt 379

This 2006 Peterbilt 379 is owned by May Trucking Co., which operates a fleet of more than 900 tractors, providing transportation services for refrigerated and dry products throughout the United States. The 2006 Peterbilt 379 was one of the last to be created.

Peterbilt 379's were produced from 1987 until 2007. During this period, the model evolved to utilize modern technologies and amenities to provide truckers with a comfortable semi truck for extended time on the road.

This truck features a 13-speed transmission, tandem axles and a Pete Flex Air Suspension system, which is a hybrid of leaf and air springs. Pete Flex Air offers low chassis height and improved ride for refrigerated and tank applications. With this 100-gallon gas tank, fueling up less frequently makes drivers happy.
