Gerald Kissinger of Stoughton, WI won second place for his red 1991 Mack Superliner and 2006 Great Dane trailer. Third place went to Rick Hitchock of Webberville, MI for his white and red 2005 Peterbilt 379.

The trophy was presented by NAST president Bo Trout and Tim Walker, Truck-Lite executive vp of sales for Europe and Asia. “The trucks represented here today are truly worthy of all the recognition we can give,” said Walker. “They are among the most beautiful to grace America’s highways. But more importantly, the seven drivers here today are profitable business people. They know the value of well prepared, well maintained equipment, and managing for safe, profitable operations. Congratulations to Truett and all the champions with us today.”
