John Lockley takes delivery of his Kenworth T909

Some trucks are built to work, others are built to make a statement.
John Lockley’s new Kenworth T909 does both.

Fresh out of the Southpac Trucks New Truck Prep bay, this Waihi-bound T909 has been finished to exact specifications, combining proven performance with a level of detail that sets it apart the moment it rolls out the door.

Built Around the Owner

Every detail of this T909 reflects a clear vision, one shaped by experience and an understanding of what a truck needs to deliver on the job.

From the extensive use of stainless steel through to the carefully considered finishing touches, this build is more than a standard delivery. It’s a truck put together with intent, where every element has been selected to meet both practical demands and personal standards.

Because for operators like John, a truck isn’t just a piece of equipment, it’s a reflection of the work behind it.

 The Final Touch: New Truck Prep

Before hitting the road, the T909 passed through Southpac’s New Truck Prep bay, where attention to detail takes centre stage.

Here, the finishing process goes beyond the factory build. Precision detailing, fit-out, and presentation ensure that each truck leaves not only ready for work, but finished to a level that stands out.

In this case, the result speaks for itself,  a clean, sharp build that balances durability with standout presence.

A Truck That Stands Out on Any Road

The Kenworth T909 has long been a staple of New Zealand transport, known for its strength, reliability, and iconic design. In John Lockley’s spec, it carries that legacy forward,  with a personalised edge that makes it unmistakably his.

Whether it’s on the open road or pulling into site, this is a truck that gets noticed for all the right reasons.

Ready for the Road Ahead

Now complete and ready for collection, this Waihi-bound T909 marks the start of its next chapter, built to handle the workload ahead while representing the pride and standards behind it. For John Lockley, it’s more than a new truck. It’s the result of getting it done right.
