The Expediter Pride Truck
Beauty Show, which occurred Aug. 11-12 at the Detroiter Travel Center in
Woodhaven, MI, put working expediting trucks only on center stage.
The competition, open to only
Cargo Van, Straight Truck and Tractor categories, was managed and judged by
NAST personnel and featured more than $10,000 in prizes
“This was our fourth annual
event, and we’re very gratified by the expediting community’s response and
support of their show,” said Lawrence McCord, Expo Show Manager. “The Expo
featured expediting carrier recruiters, expediting truck dealers, a number of
seminars about the business, the White Knight monster truck rides, the Bud Boss
show truck, food, and of course, our Expediter
Pride Truck Beauty Show.”
The Best of Show award went
to Billie Johnson and Amy Richardson – a straight-truck team with FedEx Custom Critical. They displayed
a gleaming white Western Star that helped them to win the grand prize.
