This year’s Shell Rotella SuperRigs, held at Love’s Travel Stop in Hampshire, Illinois, honored and recognized truck drivers for their hard work. Numerous stunning trucks rolled in for the competition to seek a coveted place in the 2022 Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendar.
The Shell Rotella SuperRigs competition is a truck beauty contest for actively working trucks where owner-operators from across the U.S. and Canada compete annually for more than $25,000 in cash and prizes.
Eleven drivers were selected to have their trucks featured in the annual calendar and were photographed at landmarks in the Hampshire area. The 12th truck is the 2016 Peterbilt 389 of Brian Dreher that won Best of Show during the virtual SuperRigs contest held in 2020.
The 2022 Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendar is now available to be ordered online and tells the stories of 12 drivers who travelled to participate in the annual contest.
Some highlights of the Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendar include:
- JANUARY—Kiegan Nelson from Hartland, Wisconsin, is a third-generation driver and second time Best of Show winner at Shell Rotella SuperRigs with his 2020 Peterbilt 389. He likes working on trucks the way many do with hot rods or motorcycles.
- APRIL—Ben Overton moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, from New Zealand to drive for Jade Transport. His 2021 Peterbilt 389 Pride & Class features an old-school 359 paint job to match the fleet number.
- JULY—Jimmy Ganski from Shantytown, Wisconsin, was flying high after his first time at Shell Rotella SuperRigs. He and his family along with his 2014 Peterbilt 389 not only made the calendar, but are prominently featured on the front cover.
- NOVEMBER—Tony Huttenstine II looked at Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendars as a kid and thought “man … if I could get on it.” This year, he and Emily Pohl brought their Kenworth W900L that is built around the sleeper and features a mid-1990s vibe and secured a place in the calendar.
