Stars, Stripes & White Lines
Out of Office: Truck U Heads to Atlanta
We’re heading to the Stars, Stripes & White Lines Truck Show in Hampton, Georgia, and no, we’re not speaking, selling, or set up behind a table. We’re just showing up. To hang out. To catch up with our freight friends. To walk the lot, talk shop, and take it all in.
This isn’t your typical trade show. It’s part rig show, part tailgate, part fundraiser, and full-blown trucking culture.
EchoPark Speedway – Hampton, GA
Free for spectators
Here’s what’s happening and why we’re making the trip.
National Truck Show Championship
This is the big one. Custom-built trucks from all over the country go head-to-head in trucking’s top-tier beauty competition. These are not your average working trucks. We’re talking elite, invite-only builds that compete for the title of World’s Most Beautiful Truck. There’s also a “Wash & Show” class for the everyday pride rides, and an open class that includes everything from lifted golf carts to vintage rods.
If it’s got wheels and personality, it belongs here.
Tony Justice Live
You know it’s a real truck show when Tony Justice is on stage. A former trucker with songs that sound like they were written in the sleeper. His music hits different and his shows always pull a crowd.
Golf Ball Drop from a Huey
One of the wildest fundraisers we’ve ever seen. You buy a numbered golf ball, they load it into a Huey helicopter, and drop it over a target on the speedway. Closest one to the pin wins a cash prize. Last year’s winner took home $10,000.
It’s fun, it’s loud, and it raises money for something that actually matters: Wreaths Across America. Every dollar helps place wreaths on veterans' graves at Andersonville National Cemetery this Christmas. That’s 20,700 graves they’re aiming to cover and this show helps get it done.
Jeep & Motorcycle Show
It’s not just about the rigs. There are full jeep and motorcycle show divisions too, with custom classes, patriotic builds, and some wild one-off designs. Antique bikes, lifted Jeeps, street rods if it turns heads, it’ll be there.
Why We’re Going
Because we love this stuff. The trucks. The people. The real talk that only happens when you step away from your desk and into the world you actually work in.
We’re not there to sell policies. We’re there to be in it. To connect.
To remember why we started Truck U in the first place.
If you’re going, come say hi. We’ll be the two girls laughing too loud and probably having insurance debates in the middle of a light show.
No booth. Just trucks, good company, and a lil swag.
This is what trucking should feel like. Pride, patriotism, and people who still show up for each other. We’re not missing it and neither should you.

We quote, fix, and build trucking policies all day for fleets, owner-ops, and everything in between. And yeah, we’ll talk paint jobs while we do it.
