AWARD * USA - Hemet trucker has a No. 1 stunner at big-rig beauty contest
Hemet,CA ,USA -The Press-Enterprise, by DIANE A. RHODES -September 3, 2008: -- Just a few days before the Great American Trucking Show's Pride & Polish event, Justin Moore didn't know if he would even make it to Dallas, Texas. But he is glad he did... After the judges thoroughly inspected his purple Peterbilt by crawling underneath it and peering closely at every detail inside and out, Moore was awarded first place at the truck beauty contest sponsored by Overdrive... Moore has always taken pride in his ride... With a brand-new daughter at home, Moore said he had to work hard to find loads to haul to make the trip worth his while, since he only gets 6.5 to 8.5 miles per gallon of gasoline... A palm tree pick-up in Fallbrook led to a drop-off in Midland. And a load from Arizona to Ontario was included in his return trip... Moore said the competition, which was held Aug. 21-23, pitted him against trucks that have graced the pages of big-rig pinup calendars and trucking magazines... (Photo by Diane A.
