Opting for Luxury: Owner Operator Purchases Canada's First Kenworth T800B with 86" Studio AeroCab

KIRKLAND, WA -- When you spend 45 to 48 weeks a year traveling lonely Canadian highways, the comforts of home are usually thousands of miles away. And according to one long-time owner operator, a trucker can gain a real appreciation for the "simple luxuries of home." That's why David Schewalje took delivery of Canada's first production Kenworth T800B spec'd with an 86-inch Studio AeroCab.

"This is sure a lot different than my first truck -- a 1968 Kenworth W900," laughed Schewalje, whose 30-year driving career has put 2.5 million miles in his rear-view mirrors. "I've always been a Kenworth fan, but this latest rig is the kind of truck I'd like to retire with. It feels more like an RV than a truck."

Schewalje, who calls Cache Creek, B.C. home, says his T800 Studio AeroCab is also a hit with his fiancé and eight-year driving partner, Diana McLellan.
