10-4 Magazine / April 2025 55 Here’s a photo of “The Boston Trucker” Mike Ga in taken at the 1997 Walcott Truckers Jamboree. Mike is standing in front of a 1996 Peterbilt 379, owned by Bud Meyer Truck Lines, who he drove for at the time. The truck had a 460 Cummins, a 13-speed, and an American Class interior. Mike spent thousands of his own dollars on chrome and upgrades to show this truck, and to pay for extra truck washes, as well. He ran this truck 160,000 miles a year and did about 10 shows a year from 1996 through 1998.
