10-4 Magazine / January 2026 35 vendors, like our friends at Stay Loaded Apparel, there were several standout rigs. The beauty contest portion of the show was managed and run by our friend Laura at Truck Club Publishing and judged by one of our past cover truckers from way back when (January 2007) Frank Alarid – and he did a good job. Some of the rigs that stood out for me included a turquoise Peterbilt 589 from Triways, a classic Kenworth K100 cabover parked by the ATHS booth, NRT’s always clean black Freightliner fleet trucks, Monzon & Son Enterprises’ blue and white flamed Peterbilts, and two sweet 389s – one painted maroon with pink pinstripes and one painted olive green with black and cream stripes. As usual, we at 10-4 Magazine sponsored and provided the People’s Choice trophy, which was again made by our friends at Rockwood Products. That award went to one of the nicest trucks on the lot – a red and cream Peterbilt 389 owned by Jose Rivas of R&M (he also won the Best Peterbilt award). The “Best of Show” trophy went to a white Pete 389 owned by Uriel Perez of Uri Transport. Once the raffle prizes and awards were handed out on Sunday afternoon, it was time to pack up and head out. We would like to thank Oscar Medina and his entire crew for always taking great care of 10-4 Magazine at this truck show. As mentioned before, they also host and produce shows in Florida (February) and Texas (June) that are similar to this one, and we have heard nothing but good things about both of them. Next year’s California Trucking Show is scheduled for October 3-4, 2026, at the same location in Ontario, CA, and we are sure it will once again be a packed house. Come out next year and help us celebrate another “10-4 Day” at the show. We can’t wait to see you! n
