The 22nd annual Rotella SuperRigs Truck Beauty Contest was June 24-26 at the Bosselman Travel Plaza off Interstate 80 at Exit 312 North in Grand Island, NE. Participants competed for more than $10,000 in cash and prizes, and 12 truckers were selected to appear on the 2005 Rotella SuperRigs calendar.
In all, 18 working trucks received awards for best of show, tractor, tractor-trailer combination and classic categories. A panel of celebrity judges scored the rigs on exterior appearance, design, detail/finish, originality and workmanship.
