Hey! I'm Brayson! And I love trucks!
Bio: Since I was a kid I've always been fascinated with trucks, trains, and ships. I live in a sleepy town called Mishicot, Wisconsin. My house is right down the road from a large dairy farm, and a couple miles the other way is a giant digestive plant; so I have plenty of different trucks traveling down my road. I even live in a family with a truck-driving tradition.
I expertise in mostly North-American trucks from around 1950-Today. Although there are some other areas I do delve in from time to time. I don't submit vehicles all too often, so you can usually find me on the Unidentified Vehicles page.
Now here's 𝙩𝙝𝙚 old rig! A 1986 International 9370 - This was my great-uncle's own rig! He bought it new in December 1985. He lived in Michigan at the time and was an owner operator. He sold it to a large trucking firm about 20 years ago. Sometime around 2007-ish it ended up in Suring, Wisconsin. It was abandoned sometime in 2009, and has been sitting ever since. He used to call his truck "The Atom Smasher" because he usually hauled hazmat cargo with it. I couldn't believe that I managed to find this truck. It has a custom paint job, which is how I was able to identify it. It's currently in awful condition, but maybe one day I'll be able to find the owner and restore it. One can dream though.

1990 Mack R600 - (Dump Truck. License Plate: KB5222 - Owned by Cedar Springs Dairy. It's used quite often actually, I like seeing it out and about working.)
1967 Mack R600 - (Tractor. License Plate: TX1198 - Owned by Vinton Construction. I do believe this is their oldest truck. Plates expired in 2006 which explains why it's never out and about)
1989 Freightliner FLC 120 64T - (Tractor. License Plate: SS1481 - Previously owned by Walt Graber Excavation. I have no clue who owns it now, but it was recently moved to a distribution company.)
1987 Mack Ultra-liner - (Tractor. License Plate: TZ1944 - Currently owned by Reinke Equipment? It's been sitting here since at least 2014, and was previously owned by Wagner Excavation)
197? Diamond-Reo C-114 64 T - (Tractor. License Plate: SS194 - This truck has been abandoned in a field across from my grandparents. It has been there since 2015, and the plates don't register when looked up. For sure from the 1970's however.)
1945 Oshkosh P-Series (Snow-Plow. License Plate: 23525 - Yes, this Oshkosh really is that old! A truck dating back to World War 2 that is still used to plow snow on my county roads! )
Wisconsin is full of cool trucks, so hopefully I can share my knowledge on them whilst on this site.
That's really it about me. Hope your day is swell! -Brayson
