Price Trucking, while keeping things going strong in the dump truck side of the business, which is where company operations are focused today. Truck number 70 saw the addition of stripes to the hood when the hood needed to be repainted. That paint work was actually done in-house. Not long after this, the truck was taken to Richfield Trailer in Richfield, WI where it was painted back to one color with an additional Peterbilt factory paint scheme as a blank canvas for an upcoming event called World of Wheels. The new paint was completed during the winter of 2017/2018, so it was ready for the World of Wheels show in Milwaukee, WI in February of 2018.

This box came out at a time when the hydraulic high-lift gates were not yet available. This two-way gate system allows for normal dumping applications such as stone and dirt, as well as changing the gate to a swing gate, for heavy demolition and large boulder/rock dumping. Price Transport does an amazing job of going through each one of their trucks during the winter, getting them polished and completely detailed.
