Veteran driver Ingrid Brown gives Heavy Duty Trucking a walkaround of Blackjack Express' custom 2025 Peterbilt 589, explaining the decisions behind everything from the 605-hp Cummins X15 engine and 18-speed transmission to the custom lighting, sleeper, APU, and Great Dane spread-axle refrigerated trailer.
