Shell Rotella SuperRigs is back this June 8-10 in Gillette, Wyoming with the theme of Big Rigs, Big Competition, Big Country. The show will be held at the CAM-PLEX off of Interstate 90. This annual truck beauty contest celebrates the hardworking trucking community, giving drivers the chance to show off their stunning rigs and compete for top honors.
There will be tons of events and activities planned honoring the shared spirit of cowboys and truckers. Enjoy family fun and see some of the best-looking and hardest-working big rigs in North America throughout the three-day event.
“The incredible trucks entered each year are a testament to the drivers that put in the hard work to make them a source of pride for the trucking industry. We’re excited to see what this year’s competition has in store,” said Heather Duffey, global commercial road transport integrated communications manager for Shell Rotella.
This show-stopping event is the ultimate beauty contest for hardworking trucks across the United States and Canada. With more than $25,000 in cash and prizes up for grabs, owner-operators from all over come together to compete for a chance to be featured in the legendary 2024 Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendar.
What sets SuperRigs apart is their experienced industry professionals who will be judging the rigs on exterior appearance, design, detail/finish, originality and workmanship. Plus, this year, the People’s Choice Award will be virtually open to truck drivers across North America. That’s right – even if you can’t make it in person, you can still participate! Fans, family, and friends can vote for their favorite rig from June 3 to June 9, with a $1 donation made to the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund for every vote cast. The winner of the Virtual People’s Choice Award will be announced at the SuperRigs awards ceremony. To show your support and cast your vote, visit MyMilesMatter.
