Hampton, Georgia — Bennett’s 2025 Stars, Stripes and White Lines Truck Show will roar onto EchoPark Speedway on November 7 and 8, drawing truck drivers, families and fans for a packed weekend of competition, live music and charitable giving.

The event marks the latest chapter in a long‑standing tradition of truck‑show festivals that give owner‑operators and CDL‑A drivers a rare chance to showcase custom builds, network with peers and celebrate the culture that keeps America moving. With the industry still feeling the ripple effects of recent FMCSA regulations, a gathering that mixes high‑octane action with community outreach resonates deeply across the trucking community.

Organizers have lined up a slate of classes that includes an Open Class for specialty rigs, multiple Big Rig divisions, and Jeep and motorcycle exhibitions ranging from antique to fully custom builds. A $10,000 Golf Ball Drop will let attendees win prizes while supporting Wreaths Across America, which aims to place wreaths on more than 20,700 graves at Andersonville National Cemetery for the Christmas season. Live music, a vendor village and a charity auction round out the schedule, giving trucking companies hiring new talent a platform to meet potential recruits.

What This Means for Drivers

Owner‑operators can use the show as a live showroom, displaying upgrades that may attract higher‑pay contracts from carriers actively recruiting OTR truck driver talent. CDL‑A drivers attending the event will encounter recruiters from dozens of trucking companies hiring, offering on‑the‑spot interviews for positions that often include sign‑on bonuses. The fundraiser also underscores a growing trend of industry groups linking charitable causes with driver engagement, reinforcing the community bonds that help retain seasoned drivers amid a tight labor market.

Industry Reaction

Regional carrier associations have praised the partnership with Wreaths Across America, noting that the charitable angle adds a layer of purpose to what might otherwise be a pure showcase. Fleet managers from major haulers are expected to scout the Open Class for innovative fuel‑efficiency modifications, while driver advocacy groups see the event as a reminder that the trucking profession can rally around national causes without sacrificing the excitement of a good competition.
