10-4 Magazine / May 2026 19 Jacob “Gundy” Gunderson (30) from Oconomowoc, WI has had a passion for photography that originated back to high school, while looking through the lens at trains, beautiful landscapes on family trips, and his passion for cars. It is no surprise that seeing one of the Wisconsin big rides is what sparked his curiosity into the truck world. Credit goes to his grandfather for introducing a then 20-year-old Jacob to Steve Moss (cover feature December 2011) who took him under his wing. Steve played a formidable role in Jacob’s life by taking him to many truck shows, introducing him to people within the industry, and giving Jacob plenty of subjects to photograph at his shop – he even gave him a job at their trucking company. Jacob’s first official truck show was the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, KY in 2017 where his handle JG Photography came to fruition. Later, in 2023, he created Class & Chrome, which encompasses more of his photos, along with his annual truck photo calendar. Jacob said his favorite thing about the shows is the people – from meeting up with the ones he already knows to meeting new ones. Obviously, he loves the trucks, but the people definitely draw him to the shows. Jacob first met our leaders Dan Linss and Erik Sieben at Rantoul in 2017 and then began to get involved with the magazine shortly after meeting up at the ATHS National Convention in Reno, NV in 2019. Initially, he provided features and show reports, but eventually settled into his focus of strictly truck photography. Over the last few years, another family has become his extended family which he is grateful for – Bill, Sayra, Luke and Owen “Fred” Rethwisch of Rethwisch Transport. Known for their beautiful tanker combos, Jacob enjoys his time with them, including a road trip ride to the 75 Chrome Shop show in Florida this year, then on to our Truckin’ For Kids show in Bakersfield, CA. Today, Jacob still works at Jack C. Moss Trucking in Lannon, WI, working in the shop, doing whatever it takes to keep the trucks looking clean, and assisting with service records and data entry. His summers are filled with shows and compiling photos of the trucks in attendance. He has become a valuable asset to the magazine with his supporting photos at various shows including Truckin’ For Kids and our 10-4 Trucker Rodeo and Show. When asked about his thoughts on 10-4 Magazine, Jacob plainly stated, “It is the best magazine, best group of staff, most personable, and most professional, which I am all about. Glad to be a part of the team!” Thank you, Jacob, for your continued support and contributions, we appreciate you! n Who’s Who in 10-4 Magazine: By Stephanie Haas THE PATHS THAT CROSS
