Our Oakley Transport Fleet is Growing

​We keep our fleet fresh. Our goal is to always cycle in new equipment to keep our drivers rolling and our loads moving. This is why we decided to add Peterbilt to our fleet. 

Since this addition, there has been quite a buzz of interest around what kind of amenities these new Peterbilts feature, what exactly they have under the hood, and how they differ from our Volvos. We put together this list of specifications for our Petes and Volvos to help answer these questions. 
 
Oakley Transport's new Peterbilts offer a premium driver environment that is ergonomic and highly comfortable.
