10-4 Magazine October 2023

® OCTOBER 2023 COVER FEATURE: Eric Gri ith (52) drives this slick 2023 Kenworth T880 for Freres Engineered Wood Products in Lyons, OR. Driving for Freres for 27 years, Eric hauls various wood products throughout the Pacific Northwest. Powered by a 500-hp X15 Cummins hooked to a 13-speed, this Medium Red Metallic KW looks similar to the other 50 or so trucks Freres runs, but Eric is known for keeping his extra clean. In business for over 100 years, Freres focuses on plywood and veneers, and is still family owned and operated.
