The Truckers Pride Contest, sponsored by Truck Insurance Specialist, Inc.,  is a fun addition to an already great Mid-West Truck & Trailer Show.  Trucks of all makes, models, and years are welcome, and are a huge attraction at the Truck Show.  If you have a unique, very clean, or over the top custom rig, we want you at the show!  February can be a contrary month weather-wise, but we offer complimentary rinse-off at arrival, and an entire day prior to the show for detailing and polishing on-site.

Classes in the Truckers Pride contest will vary slightly depending on the entries received. 
All classes are considered work trucks, but the awards given out include:

People’s Choice

Attendees at the show vote on their favorite truck. Cash prizes and trophies awarded for first and second places.

Driver’s Choice

Only other show contestants can attest to how much work goes into participating in a truck show in the winter months! This prize is chosen by the participants of the Truckers Pride contest.  Cash prizes and trophies awarded for first and second places.

In conjunction with the Truck & Trailer Show, Mid-West Truckers Association, Inc. also holds an Annual Convention at the Peoria Civic Center.  Seminars are held throughout the two-day show to allow you to balance your time between learning about new innovative products and receiving updates on the newest regulations and best practices to keep your company rolling for the long haul.  A complete convention seminar schedule will be available about 60 days before the convention date. We want to ensure the topics and speakers are current and address pressing issues that impact your business.
