Jake Laughlin - Laughlin Trucking

Jake Laughlin began his trucking career back in 2015 and he's following in the footsteps of his dad, who he thanks for getting him hooked on trucking as a career.

Jake's truck definitely has an "old school" vibe to it, as the black paint is accented by just the right amount of patina brought on by plenty of trips down the interstate! This black 1981 Kenworth W-900 A-Model can definitely still get the job done and Jake looks pretty damn cool out there on I-70 going thru the gears.

He pulls a 2015 Reitnouer Max Miser curtainside trailer, hauling all types of building materials including lumber, drywall, steel, and bricks. There's plenty of power in this "old girl" to pull any hill, thanks to the 3406E CAT motor.

Jake gives thanks to his best friend & mechanic, Gonzalo, for always helping him keep the wheels turning! The truck sits on a flex air suspension and Jake has been driving it since 2017. He has a long trucking career ahead of him, but the road doesn't seem that long out in front of him, when he's driving such a cool old truck.

Movin’ Out applauds Jake Laughlin for all of his hard work by choosing his KW as our September 2024 Working Show Truck of the Month.
