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 F-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. The plates expired in 2009, and it was parked here sometime between 2018 and 2020. As of late-2023, the truck has since been moved, to where I have no idea. But I hope she ends up somewhere nice, and a little less cold.

Some other trucks from my area:
1973 GMC Astro 95 Royal Classic - (Tractor. License Plate: LF30252 - Owned by Dose Farms. Been off the road since 2006. This is one of the rare "Royal Classic" Astro models, made for one year only in 1973. I believe less than 2,000 of these were made.) [Not my photo]
1986 International F-9370 Eagle - (Tractor. License Plate: TS26296 - Owned by Fictum Acres. Still in active usage, although sparingly)

1978 International Harvester Transtar II COF-4070 B -(Tractor. License Plate: TS28253 - Previously owned by Cedar Springs Dairy. Been off the road since 2010. It was sold to a farm in Iowa in May 2022)
1980 Oshkosh F-Series - (Dump Truck. License Plate: PB495 - Owned by Cedar Springs Dairy. It's rarely used, but I caught it moving once.)
1990 Freightliner FLA 086 - (Tractor. License Plate: 17652Z - Owned by Old School Express. I rarely ever see it out, but it's a pretty cool rig.)
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 south of Madison! Somehow she made her way all the way up to a farm near where I live. She was parked there for about six years until she was moved again in early-2023 as pictured here. In late-2023 she was moved to a salvage yard one of my relative's owns. She has since remained there with an unknown fate...)
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 W-Series (Snow-Plow. License Plate: 23525 - Yes, this Oshkosh is ACTUALLY that old! A truck dating back to World War 2 that was still used to plow snow on my county roads! It was rebuilt in the mid-1970's instead of being replaced, and was finally retired from service in the late-2000's. As of 2024, it has since been retired and stored at an excavation place in Two Rivers.)
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
