About Shock Wave Shockwave is the first of the Shockwave trucks. It currently holds the world record for jet-powered full-sized trucks. The truck has three Pratt & Whitney J34-48 jets, which allow the truck to complete the quarter-mile at 6.63 seconds. Shockwave uses conventional truck tires. However, they shave 85 pounds of tread off each one to reduce the weight (mass) of the tire and to keep the tread from separating and flying off when traveling at 300 mph.
