Trucking his way: Matthew Karr, May Trucker of the Month, puts out his shingle as K-Mac Trucking

Year 2022 was something of a banner one for independent owner-operator Matthew Karr. Leased to fuel hauler Quality Transportation of Halltown, Missouri, he put up big profit numbers in the 2021 Peterbilt 389 he spec'd with a 290-inch wheelbase and 78-inch sleeper, generally "not trying to make it a show truck," Karr said, but rather just what's necessary for what the rig fundamentally is.
