Snow Farms

These two large Freightliners are owned by Daniel and Phyllis Snow and Jayme and Whitney Snow.

The blue Freightliner is a 1999 Classic XL that belongs to Jayme Snow and his (as of June, congratulations!) new wife Whitney. Jayme bought this truck eight years ago when he was 18 years old. The wheelbase has been stretched to 351” to accommodate the 130” sleeper. The Snow’s have done all the work themselves except stretching the frame. They are just about finished decorating the inside of the sleeper with a rustic ranch home theme. Power comes from a 500 horsepower Detroit routed through a 13 speed transmission and 3:73 rears.

The green 1996 Freightliner Classic XL belongs to Daniel and Phyllis Snow. Daniel and Phyllis’s Classic also rides on a 351” wheelbase but their truck features a 140” ICT sleeper. Daniel and Phyllis bought their truck about seven years ago and have done all the work themselves except for paint and stretching the frame. Power for Daniel and Phyllis’s Freightliner also comes from a 500 horsepower Detroit backed by a 13 speed transmission and 3:73 rears.

Thanks for sharing!

    Like the cab over!! Never been a really big fan of Freight Shakers, but that being said I have always liked the classic XL look. Really nice job on these two. What’s even cooler is it’s a family thing!!
