It was a big week at the World’s Largest Truckstop as more than 45,000 people rolled in for the annual Walcott Truckers Jamboree along I-80. The three-day celebration brought together truck drivers, families, and fans of big rigs from all over the country.

From shiny chrome to classic haulers, 87 trucks from 23 states competed in this year’s Super Truck Beauty Contest. The antique truck display turned plenty of heads too, featuring more than 90 vintage vehicles—including one that crossed the border from Canada to be there.

The event had something for everyone: concerts, food, Trucker Olympics, and a chance to kick back with others who know life on the road. In total, 45,658 people took part in the festivities.

Whether you came for the trucks, the music, or just the vibe, Walcott once again proved why it’s a summer tradition for the trucking community.
