Trucks are judged by industry professionals who score them based on exterior appearance, design, detail, finish, originality and workmanship. Eighteen working trucks receive awards for categories like Best of Show, Tractor, Tractor/Trailer Combination and Classic categories. Additionally, 12 drivers will be selected to have their trucks featured in the Shell Rotella SuperRigs Calendar.
The theme and events of next year’s SuperRigs will be announced in the coming months.
The companies also said they plan to coordinate deployment planning across priority freight corridors and define routes and operational design domains for U.S. commercial service while laying the groundwork for expansion into key European markets.
