Across November 7 and 8, truck drivers from across the country brought their rigs to compete for national titles in four categories: limited bobtail, limited combo, working bobtail, and working combo. The trucks and drivers were invited based on standout performances at other shows throughout the year.

2025 National Champions:

• Limited Combo: Don Wood, DSD Transport, 2003 Peterbilt 379
• Limited Bobtail: CJ Nairn & Drew Royce, 2025 Kenworth W900L
• Working Combo: Rob Baesel, AN Transport, 2024 Peterbilt 389
• Working Bobtail: Kenny Ziglar, Ziglar Transport, 2007 Peterbilt 379

Don Wood’s “High Maintenance” 2003 Peterbilt 379 took a celebratory lap around the track as one of the event’s standout winners.

The show also featured motorcycle and Jeep competitions across categories such as Best in Stock, Custom, Old-School, Bagger, and Sound. An Open Class champion was named for Best Overall, completing the lineup of winners across all machines.

A signature highlight of the weekend was the golf ball drop, where 499 numbered balls were dropped from a Huey helicopter toward a painted target. Winners donated all cash prizes, ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, directly to Wreaths Across America, amplifying the charitable impact of the event.

Marcia G. Taylor, owner and CEO of the Bennett Family of Companies, said, “It’s truly amazing to see everyone come out to support such an important mission of remembering the fallen, honoring those who serve, and teaching the next generation about the sacrifice of freedom. I’m honored to have seen the event more than double in size since last year, and I can’t wait to see what Stars, Stripes and White Lines 2026 brings.”

The 2025 SSWL National Championship reinforced the strong sense of community in the trucking world, showcasing drivers’ skills, their rigs, and their dedication to giving back while celebrating the culture of big rigs on the road.

The 2025 Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) is gearing up for an exciting showdown, as five of the most skilled and creative custom truck builders compete for a massive $25,000 cash prize in the prestigious Big Rig Build-Off. Returning after another successful year, the event will feature jaw-dropping craftsmanship and innovative designs, all vying to impress the judges and attendees alike.

Last year, Davis Brothers Designs stole the show with their stunning 2024 Peterbilt 389, capturing the top honor in the 2024 competition. Brothers Brian and Tom Davis will return this year in an effort to defend their title with a brand-new custom creation.

The Big Rig Build-Off is a highlight of the PKY Truck Beauty Championship, which takes place during MATS from March 27-29 in Louisville, Kentucky. Builders will be judged on their creativity, attention to detail, and the overall quality of their designs.

Meet the Five Featured Builders

1. Luke Rethwisch, Rethwisch Transport

Luke Rethwisch might be one of the youngest builders in this year’s competition, but he’s already making waves. Growing up in a trucking family, Luke started honing his craft at the age of six, polishing and competing alongside his parents, Bill and Sayra, who launched Rethwisch Transport in 2009. His entry for the Build-Off is set to be his personal work truck, which he’ll drive when he turns 18.

2. Randy Manning, Randy M Manning LLC

A MATS regular with over 25 years of experience, Randy Manning has made a name for himself in both trucking and custom truck building. Based in Winchester, Virginia, Randy’s passion for trucks began in childhood, following in the footsteps of his father, who started trucking in the 1970s. Specializing in transforming semi-trucks into dump trucks and revitalizing old dump trucks with paint jobs, chrome, and modern lights, Randy’s builds are a testament to his innovative spirit.

3. Billy Warner Jr. and Cody Warner, William R. Warner Jr. Trucking

Operating from Circleville, West Virginia, William R. Warner Jr. Trucking is synonymous with trucking excellence across industries. Founder Bill Warner built his business from the ground up, starting with a single dump truck he purchased at 18. Over the course of three decades, his fleet has expanded to include more than 10 working trucks and several stunning show trucks. With a particular love for classic models, the Warners have previously showcased a 1981 and a 1987 Peterbilt 359 at national truck events. Billy Warner Jr. and Cody Warner are continuing that tradition in the 2025 Build-Off.

4. Brian and Thomas Davis, Davis Brothers Designs

The defending champions are back! Davis Brothers Designs, a full-service custom truck operation headquartered in Owensville, Indiana, is owned by Brian and Tom Davis. Initially grain farmers, the brothers founded RK Transport Inc., a trucking company serving the agricultural industry. Their trucks, often characterized by custom paint, chrome details, standout lighting, and massive audio systems, wowed last year’s judges. The Davises hope to replicate their 2024 glory this year.

5. Jordan Henderson, JSH Trucking

JSH Trucking, founded in the 1990s by Johnny Henderson, began as a one-man operation with a single cabover truck. Today, the business has grown to include multiple locations and a diverse team of employees. Expanding into new ventures, JSH now also runs a 24/7 towing and repair service. Jordan Henderson, Johnny’s son, continues his father’s legacy by building award-winning custom trucks. His skill and dedication will undoubtedly make him a strong contender in this year’s competition.

A Celebration of Talent and Creativity

The 2025 Big Rig Build-Off promises to be a thrilling event, showcasing the incredible craftsmanship and ingenuity of some of the best custom truck builders in the industry. With $25,000 on the line and reputations at stake, the competition will undoubtedly push these builders to produce their most impressive work yet.
