For the fourth consecutive year, Overdrive’s long-running Pride & Polish competition kicks off online, now accepting entries with hopes of bringing together the best of the best from around the nation. 

The 2023 virtual Pride & Polish competition opens today, August 1. The entry period will remain open through Labor Day, Sept. 4.

The competition will turn over to a public vote in which Overdrive readers will select their favorites in five categories -- Working Bobtail, Working Combo, Limited Mileage/Show, Antique and Interior.

Winners and finalists in each of the categories will be unveiled in October to put a bow on the 2023 truck show season. All winners and finalists will receive award plaques, and will be featured with profiles in our long-running Custom Rigs series, highlighting the truck and the owner and/or driver’s trucking career.
