You don't see too many short wheelbase 2 axle Western Star 5700 XE tractors like this one. The 5700 XE debuted in 2015 and is one of my favorite big rigs from a design perspective. Unfortunately however Daimler Trucks North America, Western Star's parent company, made the decision to stop production of this rig as of 2022. Photographed by me in Fresno 2015.

I photographed these 2 concrete mixing trucks in Milpitas.

I photographed this Atlas Van lines single trailer Peterbilt tractor in Reno. It has an oversize sleeper cab, extra chrome trim, custom projector beam headlights and a nice large grille guard.

This is a moderately customized Freightliner Columbia with a short sleeper cab. The projector beam headlights, grille insert and chrome windshield cover are all custom. Whoever parked these 2 moving trucks did a great job because the Atlas Van Lines box truck is perfectly aligned with its big rig counterpart. I have photos of two other Atlas moving trucks in my Nevada Arizona Trucks album.

This 5 axle sleeper cab Peterbilt is either a 379 or 389, I can't tell for sure because it's custom.

This is one of my favorite big rig designs, I photographed this CAT in Idaho. I think it has a Trail King TK110SA Sliding Axle Trailer. Caterpillar introduced the CT660, CT680 & CT681 Class 8 on highway vocational trucks back in 2011 and they ceased production of these trucks for the U.S./North American market after the 2016 model year. Caterpillar continues selling rebadged International on highway semi trucks for the Australian market only. And they continue to produce huge off road dump trucks for use in open pit mining operations in North America.
