Decker Truck Line WINS FIRST PLACE HONOR AT I-80�s TRUCKERS JAMBOREE
Fort Dodge and Walcott, Iowa � Iowa 80, the World�s Largest Truck Stop, recently hosted its 28th Annual Truckers Jamboree, July 12-13, off Interstate 80 in Walcott, Iowa. During the celebration, Decker Truck Line, Inc. took home first place in the Super Truck Beauty Contest. Decker beat out 15 other entries in the �Lights at Night� category with their winning entry: a 1979 �359� Peterbilt Extended Hood Wrecker, nicknamed �Jerry�s Toy.� The Decker Body and Maintenance Shop in Fort Dodge restored the truck and transformed it into to a showstopper.
Iowa 80 puts on the Truckers Jamboree each year to honor and thank all the professional drivers that visit the truck stop throughout the year. The Jamboree has grown from a small gathering of a few hundred drivers to a family event that attracts more than 30,000 people.
Delia Moon Meier, Senior Vice President of Iowa 80, says this event is a great place to celebrate and learn more about trucking. �It�s our way of saying thank you to the millions of truck drivers who deliver the goods we consume,� Meier said. �Whether it�s groceries, gas, clothes or cars, you can bet it was delivered by a truck.�
Decker Truck Line, Inc, and Iowa Central Community College (ICCC) also participated in the Jamboree with a shared booth at the show. Representatives from both participated in manning the booth and answering questions from attendees: Darin Ladlie, Decker Owner/Operator Recruiter; Ernie Epperson, Decker Driver Recruiter; Duane Baardson, Coordinator ICCC Transportation Technology Center; Jeff Frank, Director ICCC Transportation Technology Center; and Bill Warren, ICCC Transportation Technology Center Recruiter.
