Brandon Daley based in Paeroa, located in the North Island of New Zealand, runs this 1996 Kenworth K100E Aerodyne. Originally brought into the country by Trevor Harcourt, Brandon purchased the rig in 2001. It was operated under Mainfreight colours for a short while until Brandon and father started a business - Daley Partnership and was then painted in the colours that it wears today.
Unlike most Kenworths in New Zealand which are sourced from Australia, this truck was directly imported from the States, hence the personalised plate - USA KW. It was then converted from left hand drive to right hand drive. Now on its second engine the truck is powered by a Detroit Series 60 which puts out 475hp through an 18 speed transmission. The truck hauls general freight all around the North Island on a variety of trailers.
