​PDI’s Annual Customer Appreciation Truck Show Attracted Truckers from Across the U.S. and Awarded over $30,000 in Cash and Prizes

Performance Diesel Inc. (PDI) hosted its annual Customer Appreciation Truck Show Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 6-8, 2016, at its headquarters in St. George, Utah. This year’s event attracted truckers from across the United States with more than 40 trucks entered into this year’s competitions.

The annual event, sponsored by PDI, gives back to those who support the company. “We enjoy hosting this event to show our support to our customers across the U.S. and Canada as well as the local community,” said Shaun Barney, PDI general manager. “Every year the event improves and grows and this year was no exception.”

One of the favorite activities of PDI’s Annual Customer Appreciation Truck Show is the Friday night Light Show. This event occurs at dusk when all trucks in attendance light up the night with their running lights. This year marked the fifth time for the night light show, and it is a favorite part of the weekend events for both truckers and locals.

The annual PDI event is also a favorite among truckers and the community, because of the truck competition, which awards over $30,000 in cash and trophies to the highest horsepower and pride and polish classes. Premium trophies were awarded to the King of the Hill, Best of Competition, and a variety of other categories. Cash prizes were awarded to top winners, including $7,500 to the Best of Show selection and $2,500 to the Limited Bobtail, Limited Combo, Working Bobtail, and Working Combo overall winners.

Please plan to join PDI at next year’s Annual Customer Appreciation Truck Show in October 2017!
