Forty-two trucks entered and 38 were judged.
Steel hauler Lynette Myers earned a $1,500 check for besting a field of bobtail competitors with her 2000 Kenworth W900 called "Precious Dreams." Her OEM bunk is a spectacular combination of tucked black vinyl with bright pink for contrast. Chubby baby angels highlight her first place graphics.
Top combo winner Ron Baird drives "March Madness," a 2000 Peterbilt 379 and 2000 Heil Pneumatic Tanker owned by Kevin Hoffman, Hoffman Transportation. He, too, scored a $1,500 prize against tough competition by sweeping first place wins in Mural, Lights and Class, plus wins in OEM Sleeper and Engine.
