Show truck gallery: Judgment Day

A warm, sunny Wednesday made a nice setting for PKY Truck Beauty Championship contestants to apply lots of elbow grease to their tractors and trailers.


Today it was time for contestants to relax as the judges dodged the rain to inspect dozens of entrants at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky. Here is a sample of the trucks:


For Tony LaFontaine, entering his 1993 Peterbilt 379 in the PKY contest is a novel "way to spend my spring break this year." He farms and hauls agriculture products out of Decatur, Ind.

Longhaul Trucking's 2016 Pete 579 has a subtle but striking graphic pattern of dark red and black, which matches on tractor and curtainside trailer. Longhaul is based in Albertville, Minn.

Truck Show veteran Jerry Kissinger entered this 1979 Mack Superliner in the PKY competition at the Mid-America Trucking Show. He's dedicated the truck to his late brother Jack Kissinger, who died a year after battling cancer. The two started rebuilding the Mack six years ago. The Mack MP8 engine, with only 54,000 miles, and components are CARB-compliant. "California, look out, here I come!" Kissinger said. His other well-known Superliner, a 1991, is also at the show.
