Truck #92 would of been the other Mack Titan, Truck #94 would of been one of three2011 Western Star's that was boughtduring the third season of the show when they had traded in three other 2008 Western Star's that had the three problematic cat engine's that bbigrig had mentioned in his post, The fourth truck that has given the Pelletiers problems would been the tri axle truck that is called "The Three Little Pigs" that Wayne Pelletier still currently drives to this day, The Western Star dealer had to warranty the motor in the The Three Little Pigs atleast three different times when the motor had blown up on them a few times, Truck #93 and Truck #94 would of been traded in last year on two cat trucks which would of been Truck #103 and Truck #105 and Truck #95 would of been traded in someone after the first week of June this year on I believe the first International that the Pelletier's bought which would be Truck #104, Truck #93 would of been the brand new truck that Tom Mushero that goes by the handle "Playboy" got during the third season of the show and would of been traded in on Truck #105 last year about a month they had traded in Truck #94 on Truck #103, No, Bone Crusher got done for the Pelletiers a year after the show had finished filming back in 2012, Even though Bone Crusher wasn't seen during the third and final season of the show, He was still currently employed for the Pelletiers at the time third season was being filmed, Bone Crusher had went to go work for a company namedEJ Carriers after he got done for the Pelletiers and had got a Freightliner Coronado that was only a year old when he started working for EJ Carriers, But, Yes, You're right, Bone Crusher did love his Mack Titan that he had while he was employed at the Pelletiers, Truck #92 which is the one that got totaled after a second roll over would of been the Mack Titan that Bone Crusher would of got brand new on the show, But, After Bone Crusher got out of Truck #92, Danny Pelletier would of got Truck #92, Because, Danny had already rolled over Truck #91 and The Mack Titan that Bone Crusher had was the better Mack Titan out of the two, The rookie that they would of called the preacher during the third season of show would of eventually came back some time after the show was done and would ended up driving Truck #92 while Danny Pelletier was on leave for a little while and not to long after Danny Pelletier had returned Truck #92 was totaled in another roll over, Someone else out of state had also wrecked a Mack Titan that was very unfixable, But, Still had good parts on it, So, They had bought Truck #92 off of the insurance company that was auctioning it off and parts were used off of the unfixable Mack Titan to get Truck #92 back up and going and as far I know Truck #92 has been fixed and is still going some where out of state and when it was fixed they even kept the same paint scheme and the same colors as when it was featured on American Loggers, Truck #99 would be a 2012 Cat truck and would also be the second Cat truck that the Pelletiers bought would of been the replacement for Truck #92, Truck #99 still remains in the fleet to this day, Danny would of started driving Truck #93 until they traded it in on Truck #105 last yearafter he totaled Truck #92 in a roll over and Danny is also now the assigned driver to Big Foot which is the truck Lester Dube drove on the show, A rookie by the name of Eric LeBeau during the third season the show would of got Truck #91 after Danny would of got out of it and would of rolled it two more times before he was done with it and than the last assigned drive to Truck #91 before they rid of it would been another rookie driver by the name of Reg Adams, Reg Adams would of later got Truck #94 after Truck #91 was traded in and I believe Reg Adams currently has Truck #98 right now which would be a silver Kenworth W-900 with maroon fenders and a small sleeper, I am also aware that Eric LeBeau actually originally started off driving The same light blue Western Star that the preacher was driving during the third season of the show before he got Truck #91 after Danny Pelletier got out of Truck #91, The patch on the oil pan of Truck #91 is from a second season episode when Danny Pelletier had first got the truck brand new after he had hit I believe a snow drift and Yes, As I've already stated it has been rolled over a few times, Truck #91 would of also been traded in on Truck #102 which would of also been a Cat Truck, Truck #102 also still remains in the fleet to this day, Truck #92 would of been the first Mack Titan of the two Mack Titans that was bought and Truck #71 that they had called "The Curse" would of been traded in on Truck #92, A few weeks later Truck #68 that a rookie by the name of Darrell Belanger during the second of the show ended up driving that always seemed to have a problem with the truck and that also beat on the truck quite alot was traded in on Truck #91, Tom Musherothat goes by the handle "Playboy" would of also Truck #68 during the first season of the show, The three 2008 Western Star's that bbigrig had mentioned in his post that had the problematic cat engine's were all traded in a year after the two Mack Titans came into the fleet, The three 2008 Western Star's were bought shortly before the show had began filming and were bought specifically for Bone Crusher, Danny Pelletier and Wayne Pelletier which were known that were going to be regular drivers on the show, Bone Crusher had came out of the other light blue one which is Truck #79 that still currently remains in the fleet today and got a brand new light blue one which would of been Truck #81 and which would of also been traded in on Truck #95, Jason Nice would of been seen driving Truck #79 during the first two seasons of the show and the preacher would of been seeing driving Truck #79 during the third season of the show, Jason Nice would of got Truck #68 brand new before he got Truck #79 after Bone Crusher got out of it and Tom Musherothat goes by the handle "Playboy" would of got Truck #68 after Jason Nice got out of it, Although Tom Musherothat goes by the handle "Playboy" would of started off driving Truck #69 before he got Truck #68, Danny and Wayne had got the other two brand new twins that were bought in 2008 which would of been Truck #82 and Truck #83, Jake Lawyerson that was a rookie shown in the third season of the show that had ended up quitting and coming back for the final episode would of got Bone Crusher's Truck after he got out of it and Jake Lawyerson would of also ended up totaling Truck #74 in the final episode of the third season in a head on collision, Another rookie driver that they called the God Father that was never seen on the show would of been the last one to have Truck #81 after Jake Lawyerson got out of it before it was traded in on Truck #95, Wayne Pelletier would of got Truck #82 brand new and Truck #82 would of also been the truck that Wayne would of driven during the first season of the show until he got the three little pigs during the second season of the show after Eldon got out of the three little pigs, Steve Gilman that drove the Black Freightliner on the show which would be Truck #75 would of drove Truck #82 for a little while his truck was down for a little while andTom Musherothat goes by the handle "Playboy" would of been the last driver that Truck #82 would of had before it was swapped in on Truck #93, Truck #82 was the truck that was seen being hauled off by a wrecker to Western Star dealer in Bangor in a season three episode, Tom Mushero would of had Truck #70 in between having Truck #82 and Truck #93 while waiting on Truck #93, Wayne Pelletier also drove Truck #82 for one more trip in a third season episodewhen he was pulling doubles in the rain and use a different truck to use on the highway to haul to a couple of loads to a millwhen he had to separate his double trailers, Danny Pelletier would of got Truck #83 brand newand Truck #83would of also been the truck that Wayne would of driven during the first season of the show until he got his Mack Titan, Travis Mushero would of Truck #83 after Danny got out of it until he got Truck #94 brand new and than Wayne Pelletier drove Truck #83 for a little while and was even seen driving it duringone of the third season episodes while his truck was down, They had to do a motor job on the tri axle truck that they call the three little pigs and motor on the three little pigs was still under warranty, So, The dealer told the Pelletiers to keep Truck #83 a little longer even though they had already traded it in on Truck #94 until they were done rebuilding the engine on the three little pigs the first time around, Travis Mushero had also started off driving Truck #69and got Truck #69 after his brother Tom Mushero got out of it and than Travis Mushero later got Truck #74 after got out of Truck #69 and Travis Mushero also had Truck #64 for a little whilein between having Truck #83and Truck #94while waiting on Truck #94, Truck #70would of been the truck that was traded in on Truck #98 and Truck #70 was also seen many times on the

load in the rain in one of the third season episodes, And the Pelletiers would fixed and ran Truck #74 for about a year after it was involved in a head on collision in the final episode during the third season of the show until they traded Truck #74 in on Truck #97, Jason Walton which was a rookie seen in one episode inthe third season of the show would of been the first one to have Truck #74

Truck #95 brand new after he got out of Truck #74, Dana Noble which was the rookie seen in the first season of the show that droveTruck #71 that they had called "The Curse" would of got Truck #70
