Classy Truck of the Month - January 2025

Robert Bell, owner and operator of Plumbing Authority in Everett, Ontario, added this 2025 Western Star 47X with a 4,000-gallon Transway Systems tank. The unit, supplied by Premier Truck Group, is affectionately named “The Warden” and equipped with a digital Garnet See-Level tank gauge, heated rear brass valves, aluminum diamond-plate tank protection and a Fruitland 870 Model rotary vane pump rated for 501 cfm and roughly 28 inches Hg. The truck is powered by a 455 hp Cummins X12 that’s tied to an Allison 4000 RDS transmission. The vehicle sits comfortably on a 46,000-pound rear air ride suspension setup. The lettering was a father-and-son project, using premium high-reflective glass bead vinyl. The Warden allows Plumbing Authority to expand their services, adding septic tank pumping to its list of existing offerings.
