10-4 Magazine December 2022

www.tenfourmagazine.com DECEMBER 2022 COVER FEATURE: Dylan Badders (28) of D.T.B. Trucking in Parowan, UT owns and operates this classic and cool 1994 Freightliner FLA. Equipped with a 500-hp CAT 3406B hooked to a 15-speed over transmission and 3.42 rear gears, the metallic purple and metallic dark charcoal gray cabover also has a custom air-ride front suspension, built by Dylan, a custom purple and light gray interior, and a 240-inch wheelbase. Dylan completely redid the truck after it was side-swiped in July of 2021, and added the phrase “It Is What It Is” to the back of the sleeper in honor of his grandfather Cliff, who lived by that moniker and passed that attitude to young Dylan, as well. Dylan uses this truck every day to primarily haul hay throughout the western states.
