As big as the Mid-America Trucking Show is, it should come as no surprise that the sights and sounds inside the one million square feet of the Kentucky Expo Center are diverse. Thursday showgoers had the opportunity to see Shell’s hyper-fuel efficient Starship truck as well as a selection of vintage trucks from the American Truck Historical Society. They also heard Australian country singer Jayne Denham and a lucky few got to meet a rather rare Korean Jindo dog. And, of course, it was a great place to see some trucks.
