10-4 Magazine July 2024

10-4 Magazine / July 2024 39 Along with the Equipment Express lineup of trucks, there were trucks from BDS Towing & Recovery, Cuatro T, Bonham Transport, Shawn McCord Trucking and more. In total there were approximately 80 trucks, motorcycles, classic cars, and other special vehicles. One of my favorites won the People’s Choice award and Furthest Traveled, which was Wes and Shannon Fowler’s cream with bronze fenders and top of sleeper Peterbilt 389. Little Weston’s award went to our (Terry and Kasey Aslinger’s) blue Ford LTL 9000, and we were so proud to accept it. While the guys talked trucks, there was a mobile boutique setup called The Iron Rose, owned by a fellow trucking girlfriend, on-site for the ladies to do some shopping. You could make your own trucker hat, complete with any accessory you could think of, or custom mini brand your own cow hide purse, phone case, etc. The bounce house for the kids was a huge hit and was packed all day, and Schaefer Oil, Truckin’ Awesome, and Okie Shine also had booths set up. These shows go by so fast, and we never seem to get enough time with everyone, enough hugs, and enough mud bugs, but this is a crew I’m always so thankful and happy to be around and spend time with whenever possible. Next year’s show is set for May 2-3, 2025, and now everyone is welcome to attend and participate, so we hope to see some of you there! n
