• Dirty Dozen: A selection of bad-boy Petes from MATS 2015

    My mother always warned my sister to keep away from bad boys, but my sister wasn’t sure what exactly a ‘bad boy’ was. “Don’t worry,” Mom said. “You’ll know one when you see one.”

    My mother always warned my sister to keep away from bad boys, but my sister wasn’t sure what exactly a ‘bad boy’ was.

    “Don’t worry,” Mom said. “You’ll know one when you see one.”

    And so a certain American Trucker correspondent found himself strolling the 26th annual PKY Truck Beauty Championship lot at the Mid-America Trucking Show, taking pictures on a clear, cold March morning. He didn’t have a plan—he was just shooting trucks that caught his eye.

    But when he gets back to the press room to give the photos a quick look, he realizes he had captured a whole lot of Peterbilts.

    There’s just something about ’em.

    Can you pick the prize winners in this group?
