The Shell Rotella road show launched this past week with an appearance at the Great Lakes Truck Show in Dundee, Mich. The company’s tractor-trailer (pictured) will be making stops in several locations through the spring and summer. Among the highlights:

**The Shell Rotella SuperRigs truck beauty contest, June 18-20, at the Oak Grove 70 Petro, I-70, Exit 28 in Oak Grove, Mo.;
**The Truckers Jamboree in Walcott, Iowa, July 9-10;
**The Great America Trucking Show in Dallas, Aug. 20-22.

The traveling show culminates with the Georgia Fleet Expo in College Park on Nov. 11. In addition to information about Shell Rotella oils, the show features a display showing a year’s worth of ash buildup in a diesel particulate filter and a movie with scenes of extreme trucking in Australia, Pikes Peak and the Canadian Arctic.
