10-4 Magazine / September 2025 21 truckers on the CB to pass the time, and enjoying the comradery with other like-minded professional drivers. When I attend the ATHS shows, admiring the well-kept original and restored trucks reminds me of those past exciting and seemingly carefree, but also challenging, times. It makes me smile and brings a flood of memories to my mind. I spent Friday checking in at the event, securing my Media credentials, picking up a much-needed golf cart, touring the show field, checking out all the trucks, socializing with current friends, and meeting new acquaintances. The weather on Friday was perfect for a truck show with some sun, moderate temperatures, low humidity, and a nice summer breeze out of the west. I was able to spend time with several friends of 10-4 Magazine including Gaylon and Kaleb Hammett, Chad and Lisa Berry, Nick Kimbell, Wade Riffey, J.C. Alt, Austin Gottman, and Marina Spexarth from the ATHS organization. At the Friday night annual ATHS Awards Banquet, Golden Achievement Awards were presented to nine ATHS members with 50 or more years of service to the industry. The recipients were Louis Binder of Morris, IL; Robert Charney of Surprise, AZ; Bill Harris of Olathe, KS; Dave Everett of Columbus, NE; Dennis Chapman of Diamond Bar, CA; Steve Haberland of Cody, WY; Stroud Hollinshead of West Fargo, ND; Chris Schatz of Worland, WY; and Todd Spencer of Oak Grove, MO. Another important aspect of the convention is the scholarships awarded to qualified students from various ATHS families. The recipients of the George Schroyer Memorial Scholarship were Rabeka Liberto and Lucas Massel, the Cummins Scholarship went to Lily Stackpole, and the Lewis Clarke Semple Educational Fund Scholarship was awarded to Arantza Montserrat.
