Just how pretty is your truck?

Grand Island, Neb. (AP) --- More than 100 truckers are gussying up their
rigs and preparing for a beauty contest like no other.

They shined, buffed and waxed their trucks this week at the Bosselman Travel
Center to prepare for this year's Shell Rotella SuperRigs Truck Beauty
Contest, which ends today.

The is the first year Grand Island has hosted the annual event, which is
touted as the "Oscars of truck shows."

The event includes musical performances and a free steak dinner for
participants.  Twelve winning trucks will be photographed in the area for
the Rotella SuperRigs Calendar.
