Mercer's Old School Truck Show

This month, we are excited to announce our plan to launch an Internet truck show featuring "Old School" trucks. The website, Showusyourtruck.com, will be based on an interactive photo gallery. In order to win monthly prizes, participants will submit photos of their customized trucks, along with a brief description, to be displayed on the website.

The truck show will be open to all truck owners. Contestants will be divided into two categories: Mercer owner operators and the "best of the rest." Each month, a winner from each category will be chosen and inducted into the winner's circle. In January 2009, contestants from the winner's circle will be elligible for the grand prize drawing (prizes to be announced in conjunction with the website's debut.)

Showusyourtruck.com will be an original, unique outlet for people to display their trucks and look at other classic, customized trucks. Unlike traditional truck shows, this contest will prove to be more convenient and less time consuming to the owner operator.

Brian Helton, director of recruiting, explains, "There are a lot of cool trucks out there, but they are working trucks and it is often hard for those guys to shut down their businesses for a few days in order to participate in truck shows. We hope that Showusyourtruck.com will encourage more people to show off their rigs."

Although the contest structure will be modeled after traditional truck shows, there are currently no similar media outlets that specifically focus on showcasing custom trucks. Visitors to the galleries will have the ability to upload submissions, view the truck galleries and vote for their favorite submissions.

Showusyourtruck.com is scheduled to debut in the next coming months. For more information and updates on the upcoming contest, keep your eyes on the News and Events Section of Mercertown.com.
