When the votes were counted, one truck stood out from the crowd.

Alfalfa Cruiser Takes People’s Choice

Jason Flores earned the People’s Choice award with his truck known as “Alfalfa Cruiser,” a 2018 Peterbilt 389 paired with 2018 XL double flatbeds. The award is decided by fellow participants and attendees, making it one of the most talked-about wins of the show.

The combination of detail, presentation, and overall presence helped it rise above a packed field of competitors.

Big Rig Build Off Draws Top Builders

Another highlight of the event was the Big Rig Build Off, where top builders go head-to-head under time pressure to create a standout show truck.

This year’s title went to Randy Menkel of Never Satisfied Builds and J and L Contracting with a 1985 Peterbilt 359. The competition also featured returning competitor Luke Rethwisch of Rethwisch Transport and James Stegall of Stegall’s Truck Shop.

What This Year’s Show Delivered

From fully restored classics to modern working trucks built for both function and presentation, this year’s PKY Championship showed how much pride goes into every detail. Whether it’s chrome, paint, fabrication, or upkeep, the level of effort behind each entry was on full display.

With nearly 200 trucks competing, earning a spot at the top in any category says a lot about the build and the people behind it.

The tree will make its way to Washington, D.C., where it will stand in front of the U.S. Capitol as the official Capitol Christmas Tree. For drivers and fleets, the haul itself is what makes this tradition stand out.

A Load That Brings the Industry Into the Spotlight

The Capitol Christmas Tree isn’t just about the destination. The cross-country trip has become a yearly highlight for the trucking industry, putting a spotlight on the role drivers play in connecting communities.

Each year, a single carrier is selected to handle the move, with a specially wrapped truck leading the way. The Truckload Carriers Association has long supported the effort, and Kenworth provides the custom truck used to haul the tree across the country.

Along the route, the truck makes multiple stops, giving communities a chance to see the tree up close before it reaches the Capitol.

Idaho Takes Center Stage in 2026

This year marks the first time the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests will supply the Capitol Christmas Tree. The forest spans more than 4 million acres, covering rugged terrain that includes mountains, rivers, and deep canyons.

“Idaho couldn’t be prouder to see one of our own trees chosen as the Nation’s Capitol Christmas Tree,” said Idaho Governor Brad Little. “This is a great honor and a reminder of the natural beauty we’re blessed with here at home. We’re excited to share some Idaho spirit with families across the country next Christmas season.”

The selection kicks off a full year of events tied to the tree, highlighting local communities, forestry partners, and the history of the region.

A Nationwide Effort Behind the Scenes

Moving a load like this takes coordination well beyond the driver’s seat. Multiple partners are involved, including the Society of American Foresters, which continues to support the program as a national partner.

“2026 marks the celebration of our nation’s 250th anniversary. SAF is proud to continue our support of The People’s Tree as it makes its way across the country,” said SAF CEO Terry Baker. “This public/private partnership exemplifies what we can accomplish when we come together from varied backgrounds and interests with a common goal.”

The U.S. Forest Service has worked alongside the Architect of the Capitol for more than five decades to make this annual delivery happen. Each year, a tree is selected from one of the country’s national forests and transported to Washington following a multi-stop tour.

More Than Just a Delivery

For those in trucking, this run represents something different from the usual day-to-day freight. It’s a chance to be part of a tradition that reaches beyond the industry and into communities nationwide.

Jon Word, forest supervisor for the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests, emphasized the significance of the moment.

“It is a great honor to provide the 2026 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree, the ‘People’s Tree’, from the Nez Perce-Clearwater. We look forward to working closely with the Nez Perce Tribe, the Society of American Foresters, and all our partners and communities.”

As the year moves forward, more details will come out about the tree selection and the route it will take. For drivers and fleets, it’s one of those rare hauls that reminds everyone just how visible and important trucking can be.

The post 2026 Capitol Christmas Tree Will Roll Out of Idaho on a Cross-Country Trucking Journey appeared first on Truck Drivers USA.

The event will take place March 26 through 28 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, where thousands of drivers, carriers, and industry professionals gather each year for one of trucking’s largest annual events.

A Night That Brings the Industry Together

The Silent Auction will be held during the MATS Opening Night Reception. The event brings together attendees, exhibitors, and industry leaders for an evening of networking, food, and entertainment as the show officially gets underway.

Auction items are donated by industry partners, and attendees can place bids throughout the reception. All proceeds from the auction go directly toward supporting SCF and its work assisting truck drivers and their families during times of illness or injury.

“Last year’s Silent Auction was an incredible example of what happens when our industry comes together for drivers in need,” said Courtney Niemann, executive director of SCF. “The generosity we saw — from donated items to competitive bidding — directly translated into meaningful support for truckers and their families. We’re excited to bring that same energy back to MATS this year.”

According to SCF, last year’s auction raised more than $13,500 for the nonprofit, with participation from donors, bidders, and volunteers across the trucking industry.

Why the Fund Matters to Drivers

For many professional drivers, especially owner-operators, time away from the road due to medical issues can quickly create financial strain. The St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund provides short-term assistance for Class A over-the-road drivers who have been forced out of work because of illness or injury within the last 365 days.

The organization also offers health and wellness initiatives aimed at helping drivers prevent long-term health problems and stay on the road.

“Owner-operators and professional drivers are the backbone of our nation’s supply chain, but they often don’t have a safety net when unexpected health issues arise,” said Norita Taylor, SCF board president and director of public relations at OOIDA. “The Silent Auction at MATS is a powerful reminder that this industry stands behind its drivers. Every bid placed, and every item donated, helps ensure that professional drivers have somewhere to turn when illness or injury takes them off the road.”

Opening Night Reception Sponsor

This year’s Opening Night Reception is sponsored by Triumph, a company focused on modernizing and simplifying freight transactions through financial and technology services designed for the trucking industry.

A Major Gathering for the Trucking Industry

Now in its more than 50-year history, the Mid-America Trucking Show continues to be the largest annual gathering in trucking. Each year, the event draws thousands of drivers, fleet representatives, manufacturers, and service providers from across North America.

The Silent Auction remains one of the show’s community-focused events, giving the industry a way to support drivers facing difficult circumstances.

SCF encourages MATS exhibitors and industry partners to donate items for the auction and invites attendees to participate in bidding during the Opening Night Reception.

More information about the Silent Auction and how to donate items can be found here. Drivers or industry partners interested in supporting the organization can also contact Diane Hutsell, director of philanthropy, at diane@truckersfund.org.

Over the next two years, these drivers will represent the trucking industry across the country. Their work includes attending industry events, engaging with communities, visiting schools, and speaking with policymakers to promote safe driving while sharing firsthand insight into trucking as a career.

“This group of professional drivers have earned their place at the top through years of hard work, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to safety on the road,” said ATA President and CEO Chris Spear. “They represent a vital segment of the American workforce, one whose impact is felt by nearly every person in the country. As these Captains take to the road with a new mission and an important message, we are incredibly proud of their achievements and confident the nation will gain valuable insights from their leadership and the example they set for our industry.”

A Longstanding Program Focused on Safety

America’s Road Team was established in 1986 to recognize professional truck drivers who have demonstrated exceptional safety records and a commitment to representing the industry with integrity. With the support of their companies, Captains volunteer their time to participate in public outreach efforts that help explain the role trucking plays in everyday life.

The 2026 2027 class represents 13 states and includes four military veterans, one independent contractor, and drivers from both small fleets and large national carriers. Together, the group brings 51 million miles of safe driving experience to the program.

Volvo Trucks Celebrates 25 Years Supporting America’s Road Team

Volvo Trucks remains the program’s sponsor and will mark 25 years of partnership with America’s Road Team this October. During their two-year term, the Captains will travel the country in ATA’s Interstate One Image Truck, a Volvo VNL 860 pulling an American flag themed trailer. The trailer features a mobile classroom and a state of the art truck driving simulator used for education and outreach.

“Volvo Trucks is honored to continue our long-standing sponsorship of America’s Road Team and to take part in this week’s selection of the 2026–2027 Captains,” said Volvo Trucks North America President Peter Voorhoeve. “This year at MCE marks 25 years of Volvo’s proud support of America’s Road Team, a milestone that reflects our deep respect for professional drivers and our commitment to safety, professionalism, and leadership across the trucking industry. America’s Road Team is one of the most visible groups of professional truck drivers in the country, and we believe their hard work and dedication pays.”

How the 2026 2027 Captains Were Selected

ATA conducted the final round of selections from January 18 through January 20 at its headquarters in Washington, DC. During this process, drivers were evaluated on more than just miles logged or years of experience.

Candidates were judged on their ability to clearly communicate about trucking, safety, and transportation issues, as well as their overall driving records. The selection panel included trucking industry executives and members of the trade press, ensuring the final group reflected both operational excellence and the ability to represent the industry publicly.

Once selected, the new Captains received their signature navy blue America’s Road Team blazers and immediately began their work as ambassadors. Their focus over the next two years will be on improving public understanding of trucking and reinforcing the industry’s commitment to safety and professionalism.

Supporting the Mission of America’s Road Team

Trucking professionals and industry partners can support the work of America’s Road Team by following the Captains throughout their two year term and engaging with them at major industry events, conferences, and community visits. ATA also encourages industry members to follow the team’s journey on Facebook, where updates from the road and event appearances are shared.

“America’s Road Team Captains exemplify the highest standards of safety in our industry, helping to elevate trucking’s image by sharing their experiences and leading by example,” said ATA Chief Operating Officer Dan Horvath. “These respected leaders craft compelling safety messages and demonstrate how the trucking industry offers meaningful, rewarding careers. Through their participation in community events, conferences, and industry engagements, they fulfill the mission of America’s Road Team. We congratulate this new class for their dedication to excellence and for keeping our nation moving safely.”

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:

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.

The campaign allows Peterbilt employees to contribute through fundraising events, company initiatives, and personal donations, reinforcing the company’s commitment to giving back.

“The United Way Giving Campaign is a reflection of Peterbilt’s commitment to our community,” said Jake Montero, Peterbilt general manager and PACCAR vice president. “The parade is a fantastic tradition that unites our employees, customers and the Denton community. It celebrates the dedication of our employees and their shared loyalty and passion with Peterbilt owners, dealers and fans.”

Since its debut in 2016, the Pride & Class Parade has grown into a marquee event for Peterbilt drivers across North America. Truck owners and operators travel to Denton to display their customized rigs, from classic 1969 Model 358s to the latest 2026 Model 589 trucks.

Gary Henderson, President and CEO of United Way of Denton County, highlighted the partnership’s long-term impact. “Peterbilt and United Way of Denton County have built a longstanding partnership that has strengthened our community for more than three decades,” he said. “Peterbilt’s ongoing financial support and employee engagement have created a meaningful and lasting impact across Denton County.”

According to MATS organizers, the Pro Talks stage is a place where companies and professionals can connect directly with drivers and help address real needs across the industry. It is meant for those who have practical experience and can offer advice that makes a difference on the job.

“The trucking industry is looking for answers, and MATS is the place they come to find them,” said Toby Young, President of MATS. “We are looking for experts who can provide not just information, but real-world solutions that our attendees can use to improve their businesses immediately. This is an opportunity to move beyond the exhibit hall and become a vital resource for the entire industry.”

Anyone interested in speaking can submit a proposal on the official MATS Call for Speakers page. The priority deadline for submissions is January 1, though proposals will still be accepted afterward with fewer available time slots.

To shape the 2026 program, MATS surveyed more than 50,000 trucking professionals, including owner-operators, fleet leaders, and maintenance specialists. The survey results showed that drivers want more sessions covering equipment, maintenance, government regulations, business management, technology, and safety. These areas remain top of mind for drivers working to stay efficient and profitable in a changing market.

Drivers can review the full findings in the MATS Education Survey Report to see what topics their peers said matter most heading into 2026.

Suburban Propane teamed up with the Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey and the Women In Trucking Association to host an event called Trucks are for Girls Fueling the Future. The goal was to show young girls that careers in transportation, energy and sustainability are absolutely open to them.

“Suburban Propane is proud to partner with the Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey to inspire the next generation of innovators, leaders, and changemakers,” said Fran Cleffi, vice president of human resources for Suburban Propane. “Through Trucks are for Girls: Fueling the Future, we hope to empower young girls to see themselves in industries that are driving America’s energy transformation and to help them build the confidence to pursue any career they choose.”

The event took place at Suburban Propane’s national headquarters in Whippany, New Jersey. Girl Scouts from across the region showed up for hands on learning and leadership activities. They broke into sessions on science, entrepreneurship and innovation to learn how clean energy powers communities and how their own creativity can shape the future workforce.

They got a behind the scenes look at Suburban Propane’s operations, climbed into a propane delivery truck and tried out a driving simulator inside the Women In Trucking Association’s WITney trailer. They also sat in on career chats with women working in areas such as technology, accounting, marketing and legal. In one activity the girls worked together to build cause driven cookie campaigns that mixed business skills with community impact. Each participant went home with a Suburban Propane Patch and a WIT Transportation Patch as a keepsake.

“We are grateful for our partnership with Suburban Propane and for their support in putting together and hosting the Trucks are for Girls event,” said Sandra A. Kenoff, president and CEO of Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey. “This collaboration gives our Girl Scouts the unique opportunity to explore career paths they may have never considered, connect with mentors who are paving the way in “nontraditional” fields, and see firsthand the many ways women are leading in transportation and logistics. We thank Suburban Propane for their support and for creating such an inspiring experience.”

While the girls explored the industry, parents and guardians joined a professional development workshop called Gear Up for Success Your Resume and Your Brand. The session was led by Suburban Propane’s human resources team.

This effort ties into SuburbanCares, the company’s nationwide outreach program that supports youth empowerment, education and community involvement across the 42 states where it operates.
