Factory Five’s New Flagship Truck!

It’s been a big week here at Factory Five for capital equipment upgrades.  Thanks to our partners at Anderson Motors, we’ve traded-in our 2004 Peterbilt tractor for a brand-new Volvo 670 to pull Factory Five’s show and event trailer.

We had a lot of help selecting this new tractor from our partners at Stewart Transport. Colin Stewart and all of his drivers run Volvos, so they were able to help check out and spec out the new rig.

The truck is heading to Texas for the Texas Cobra Club Meet at the end of the month, and then afterwards it will be heading to Competition Graphics for a new graphics package for the tractor and updated trailer.

The new truck is a really exciting investment in bringing the Factory Five experience to customers around the country.
