CUSTOM RIGS March 2014 | Overdrive | 67 M egan Folkes, dispatcher at Gulf Logistics and Parish Transport in Ellisville, Miss., poses with a 2003 Peterbilt 379 owned by her dad, Alton Folkes. Megan urged her father, owner and operator of the six-truck Two Rivers fl atbed fl eet out of Seminary, Miss., to dress up a purple Pete, as that's their favorite color. "I've always liked Peter- bilts, and I've always wanted to fi x one up," she says. Her dad's Pete isn't the only one to show some purple at her direction. Megan's fi ancé, Austin Ashley, built and runs Double Take, a 2007 Pete 379 with purple stripes that won Best of Show at the 2012 Overdrive 's Pride & Polish at the Great American Trucking Show. Ashley's truck also won the Pride & Polish Truckers' Choice National Championship award at the same Dallas-based show in 2013. Passion for purple Model_0314.indd 67 2/27/14 8:35 AM
