The truck show season gets under way in February with two shows, one in Illinois and the other in Florida.
The 2026 Mid-West Truck & Trailer Show will be held Feb. 6 and 7 at the Peoria Civic Center in Peoria, Illinois. The Florida Trucking Show will be held Feb. 21 and 22 at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale.
Both shows are free and open to the public.
The Mid-West Truck & Trailer Show is held in conjunction with the 61st annual convention of the Mid-West Truckers Association. The show features a range of exhibitors and the Trucker’s Pride Truck Beauty Contest for work, show and antique trucks.
Show organizers say attendees will see displays of the newest tractors, trailers, engines, parts, accessories, communication and computer equipment, tires, lubricants, services and much more. Representatives of all state and federal government agencies that deal with the trucking industry will be available. There will also be product demonstrations, door prizes and special show prices on merchandise for sale.
The Truckers Pride Truck Beauty Contest includes Show, Work and Antique Truck categories and a People’s Choice Award, voted by show attendees. The contest awards cash prizes, trophies and recognition for the winners.
