LOUISVILLE. Jonathan Eilen and his “Iron Affliction”—a custom 2010 Peterbilt 389 and 2008 Mac trailer rig-- took first prize at the annual National Association of Show Trucks (NATS) competition, held here last week at the Mid America Trucking Show.

“Iron Affliction” took Eilen over a year to customize to his liking and is dedicated to the memory of his late brother, Jake Eilen, who died in 2008 in a single car accident.

The first place award, sponsored by Truck-Lite, includes a $5,000 check and a special etched-glass trophy.
