Attendance topped 44,000 at the Walcott Truckers Jamboree last week, with drivers arriving in Iowa from 22 different states and three Canadian provinces to display their trucks. Truckers from Arizona, Texas, Vermont and Canada traveled the farthest for the event which has been taking place at Iowa 80 since 1979.  

A chief attraction, the Super Trucks Beauty Contest, announced results on Saturday, with Marcel Pontbriand and his elaborate "Cowboy of the Road" 1989 Peterbilt 379 and 2015 Great Dane trailer bagging both "Trucker's Choice" and "Best Overall Theme" trophies. 

Other category winners, and plenty views on many of the rigs, follow.
