It was a foggy morning at the 75 Chrome Shop on December 7th. Dave Mattingly was killing time while waiting for dispatch to call him with his next load. The conversation we had on the highway ranges from his previous career that took him around the world to, his favorite truck stops, to how he manages staying out on the road for months at a time. He is running a 2016 Peterbilt 386 / Cummins ISX15 / 425hp / 13sp / 3.25 rears.
