The annual Great American Trucking Show kicks off at noon on Thursday at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas. The show will once again feature hundreds of exhibitors, live entertainment, dozens of custom show trucks, educational sessions and much more.
Some of the show’s top draws include Overdrive’s Pride & Polish truck beauty contest, the Overdrive-Red Eye Radio Trucker Talent Search sing-off finale, Overdrive’s Partners in Business seminars and a performance by Australian country rock singer Jayne Denham.
New to the show this year is the New Truck Pavilion, which will have several newer model trucks on display. FMCSA will also host a two-hour listening session on the recently proposed hours of service changes on Friday, in addition to two one-hour stage sessions on ELD implementation, the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse and more on Thursday and Saturday.
