Rules:
Million Dollar Rigs, with Visible Load

1) Tractor trailer rigs only, nice looking well kept tractors. Over
the Road Tractor, must be a legal Interstate truck (It must have a
Sleeper and be within the 40' tractor length laws).
A, tractor is not to be more than 5 1/2 inches long.
B, no straight trucks and no day cabs

2) Trailer (s) must be open or have an exposed load.
A, tarped loads only if we can see the load.
B, you could use a curtain side but we got
to see the load any trailer type whatsoever as long as we can see the
load. The load must be exposed.

3) Trailers (s) may be single, double, triple, or B-Train. Any
combination
A, no restrictions on the overall length of your
rig in other words if you want to pull double 53 foot trailers we
will allow it... but the tractor is to be legal 40 ft.


4) The truck company maybe a real company or not.

5) Any truck up to present is applicable, but needs to meet today's
highways.
A, if you use a truck from the thirties make us
believe somebody re-built it and we might see it in the truck stop or
rest area next week.

6) Truck must be photographed sitting on a local map, a map from your
state. That's right you heard it an Atlas type road map.

WOW! Those are great!

How much do you charge for making replicas of real trucks? I think I may have found a good birthday present for my father in law!
