Owner Jim Rishel runs this all-burgundy Volvo VED12 built out by J & J Truck Bodies and Trailers with a 4,600-gallon steel tank and Fruitland 500 cfm pump. The truck is powered by a 465 hp Volvo engine tied to an Eaton Fuller 8LL transmission. The truck is built for a day-into-night workload with the large tank, three 4-inch intakes, a 4-inch discharge and work lights on the sides and rear. The dark, single-color look is contrasted by aluminum hose trays and front wheels. Rear wheels are white, matching the simple tank and door signage. Featured prominently is Rishel’s golden retriever, Lady Cate, who rides shotgun on long routes. The graphics were from Auto Trim Design. The cab is set up for comfort with spring ride, AC, cruise control and an iPod- and Sirius satellite-ready stereo. The truck hauls mainly residential septage.
