The annual event is free to attend and open to the public.

“The opportunity to celebrate the 35th Shell Rotella SuperRigs is a great testimony to the hardworking truck drivers from the U.S. and Canada that deliver goods every day and take great pride in their work and their trucks,” said Megan Pino, global brand manager, Shell Rotella. “The dedication of so many drivers over the years has made this a great event and we look forward to sharing the Titans of Tulsa with drivers and people in the Tulsa area.”

The Shell Rotella SuperRigs truck parade, which allows drivers to show the local community their great-looking rigs, will take place downtown on Friday night beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the Brady Arts District around Guthrie Green.
