Shell Rotella
Shell Rotella annually honors truck drivers throughout North America in a truck beauty contest. This year, drivers competed for numerous awards and sought a place in the 2024 Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendar. Twelve drivers were selected to have their trucks featured in the annual calendar photographed in Gillette, Wyoming.

The 2024 Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendar is now available to be ordered online. Some highlights of the calendar include:
- April: Cody Davis from Cokeville, WY, remembers always wanting to have a truck in the SuperRigs calendar as a kid. This past year was his first time at the competition, where he showed off his 2022 Kenworth W900.
- June: Truett and Crystal Novosad from Caldwell, TX, have been coming to SuperRigs for over 20 years and won their first Best of Show this past year with their 2007 Peterbilt 379 named Doc Holliday. Throughout Doc Holliday is the theme from the movie, "Tombstone," including Doc sayings, an airbrushed silhouette on the firewall, pistols at the ends of the pinstripes, and top hats.
- July: JR Schleuger from Britt, IA, likes old trucks like some people like old classic cars. When entering his 1984 Kenworth W900B, he noted, "Anybody can go out and buy a brand new truck, and they just have a brand new truck. When you buy an old truck and turn it into a new truck, I feel like you really have something."
- December: Mark and Payton Aragon from LaSalle, CO, took three years to build their custom 2003 Peterbilt 379, which they entered at their first SuperRigs this year. When they were invited to be in this year's calendar, Mark noted it was all the great ideas his son put together that got them a spot.
The Shell Rotella SuperRigs competition is a truck beauty contest for actively working trucks. Owner/operator truck drivers across the U.S. and Canada compete annually for more than $25,000 in cash and prizes.
