Early views from 40th annual Shell Rotella SuperRigs

One of the first trucks you see as you walk onto the SuperRigs lot is "Just a Phase," a 1996 Kenworth W900 shown by Bubba Branch with Atlas Heavy Haul.

The 40th annual Shell Rotella SuperRigs truck show, primarily for working trucks, officially kicked off Thursday at the Branson Landing along the banks of the White River in Branson, Missouri. The show runs through Saturday afternoon.

As of Thursday, there were approximately 50 trucks -- all in pristine, show-worthy condition -- on display with something for fans of all types of trucks, from conventionals to cabovers and antiques to newer builds. As is often the case for SuperRigs, owners are likely to continue to enter and park up through Friday.  

Here, catch a sample. And if you're in the area, come by and check out the hard work these owners and drivers have put into these rigs.

And finally, for cabover fans, "Back Home" is a 1982 Peterbilt 362 owned by Blue Trucking.

Keep tuned for show results, and plenty more over the next weeks about these and other tractors at SuperRigs.
