Personal mission for Ben Cadle's personal 2024 Pete 389, custom-built with Semi Casual assist

Augusta, Georgia-headquartered Cadle Trucking owner Ben Cadle, longtime agent for Bennett Motor Express, spec'd out this unit in 2023 to his liking, ordering the rig from Fitzgerald Peterbilt in Crossville, Tennessee. It's powered by the Paccar MX-13 motor, he said, hooked to a brand-new polished-out Dorsey flatbed that Cadle's parallel Trelco Trailers business, leasing and selling trailers, showcased at the Large Cars and Guitars truck show in Kodak, Tennessee, in May.
It's the third 13-liter Paccar motor Cadle's owned, having good luck with them generally. "I was getting excellent fuel mileage coming up here," he said. "It was getting ... a little over 10 miles to the gallon," he said. Empty, mind you, with the flatbed, but impressive nonetheless for the less-than-a-year-old rig.
Cadle took delivery of it in August last year, and generally is treating it less like a daily workhorse than his personal truck. Between August and May, he'd hauled little in it, putting on just 16,000 total miles in the unit, lightly customized to his liking with some assist from Semi Casual, the Fitzgerald-affiliated custom shop we also caught up with at Large Cars with their twin custom 589 Petes: www.overdriveo...
