Leif Blair Transport run eighteen trucks and this Kenworth T904 is Leif's flagship. The truck was put on the road in 2003 and is double shifted, seldom stationary. Mike and Paul are the fortunate drivers to pilot the big Kenny which does a run from Hamilton down to the Ferry in Wellington and then back up the North Island through the Hawke's Bay.

The Kenworth is powered by a CAT C-15 550 hp engine with an 18-speed Roadranger trans. The truck features offset rims, seven bar grille, stainless air cleaner covers, chrome air intakes, plate and wing. The cab is fitted with the Kenworth buttoned interior.

The wing that sits on the top of the cab was fitted by a company in Rotorua and was only added to the truck last year. The truck can be seen usually with a B-train hauling general freight.

Thanks to Leif for allowing us to feature his flagship. Also, thanks to Earl and for driver Mike for parking up the rig in not the most ideal conditions!
