Convention Sized Exhibits with an Easy Walking Experience

As the trucking industry has evolved from simple delivery trucks to machines equipped with computerized technology, the Mid-West Truck & Trailer Show has grown and changed with it. During the first weekend in February every year, the event coordinators at Mid-West Truckers Association seek to feature exhibitors who will showcase the newest products and innovations so everyone who comes through the door will know what’s the next greatest thing in trucking. We also strive to provide a welcoming atmosphere for our exhibitors and attendees, which we believe fosters lasting business relationships.

The educational seminars offered to those who register for the Annual Convention are given by industry leaders from across the United States. They cover topics such as new regulations and challenges facing the transportation industry. If your work or life touches on the trucking industry, the Mid-West Truck & Trailer Show is a must attend event!

Trucker's Pride Truck Beauty Contest

The Truckers Pride Contest is a fun addition to an already great Mid-West Truck & Trailer Show. Trucks of all makes, models, and years are welcome, and are a huge attraction at the Truck Show. If you have a unique, very clean, or over the top custom rig, we want you at the show! February can be a contrary month weather-wise, but we offer complimentary rinse-off at arrival, and an entire day prior to the show for detailing and polishing on-site.

Classes in the Truckers Pride contest will vary slightly depending on the entries received. All classes are considered work trucks, but the awards given out include:
