The trucks of GATS: Pride & Polish

· Wednesday, August 29, 2018

For many truckers, their vehicles are their pride and joy. Each year at the Great American Trucking Show, they get a chance to show off their creations during the Pride & Polish competition. If you are looking for show trucks (many of them are also working trucks), lots of chrome, and trucks that beam with pride, the Pride & Polish competition is for you. Here is some of this year’s trucks.
