Picture this: High-energy opener at Omnitracs Outlook 2016

DALLAS. Helping create an analogy for visualizing the future of trucking, artists speed-painted and performed songs including The Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up" and Tom Cochrane's "Life Is a Highway" at the opening session of Omnitracs Outlook 2016.

The painters crafted images of singers Willie Nelson and Mick Jagger, the latter notably done upside-down before being flipped over at the end. Images of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge and New York's Statue of Liberty next to the Omnitracs name gave a coast-to-coast message to the company's U.S. operations, now headquartered in Dallas.
