A panel of judges will score the rigs on exterior appearance, design, detail, and workmanship. Only working trucks operating in inter- or intrastate commerce are eligible. State DOT authority or ICC numbers on the truck are required proof for entry. Rigs will be judged from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 17 and Friday, May 18, and from 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday, May 19. The contest is free to participants.
Drivers can register on arrival and go through the entry line when they are ready.
The judging takes approximately 20 minutes and contestants do not have to be present to win. This year promises to be the biggest show in years as the Truck Beauty Contest goes Texas-sized with multiple performers and events throughout the weekend.

Trucks chosen for the calendar will be photographed on location by a nationally recognized commercial photographer.
