Ringgold, Georgia-based husband and wife team owner-ops Jeremy and Tiffany Wallin haul flatbed freight in their 2017 Freightliner Coronado glider, but the newlywed couple is also in the process of customizing it into a home. 

"It looks like a cow threw up in there," Tiffany joked about the truck's interior. "We're partial to Texas, we love Texas and Texas themes, and we like the outside glistening and the inside kinda cowboy."

Added Jeremy, "My truck was pretty basic before she moved in, but a woman turns a truck into a home." 

The couple married in April of 2022, and Tiffany, a former college administrator, seemed to fall in love with trucking just about the same time she fell in love with Jeremy. The rig sports a 1998 Series 60 Detroit engine, 3:55 rears, and a 10-speed manual transmission, and the pair run electronic logs. The team driving situation rarely sees them hurting for hours.

"I never thought I'd almost pay $100,000 for a five year-old glider, but I'm happy with it," he said. "It's definitely a money maker."
