The Spirit Of The American Trucker – December 2013

AJ Sandhu was just seven years old when his parents emigrated from India to California in 1977. He was fortunate to grow up with good, honest, American kids whose dads were into building custom cars. This upbringing caused him to assimilate quickly into living in America, and in 1990 he started trucking. His third truck was a 1998 Peterbilt 379 with a unique multiple color scheme. When it was 15 years old and had 1.5 million miles on it, the truck burned to the ground. After that, he bought this 2000 Pete and couldn’t resist putting another custom paint scheme on it to make it look cool! This is a local California truck, which runs between Stockton and Salinas. In regards to his success, AJ said, “Hard work will get you nice things, but only honesty will earn you true friends.”
