Q: Who is the National Association of Show Trucks (NAST)?
A: NAST, which stands for the National Association of Show Trucks, is a non-profit organization which originated 16 years ago. It is operated by individuals that are elected from its corporate and associate memberships, all of which are involved in the trucking industry. Members (truck owners and operators) in the National Association of Show Trucks attend NAST sponsored truck shows in the United States and accumulate points for winning in different categories. Those with the highest scores are then allowed to compete in the “granddaddy” of truck shows . . . the Mid America Truck Show in Louisville, Kentucky.
NAST trucks are generally working show trucks that are usually a few years old. Although NAST trucks may have thousand dollar paint jobs, interiors with solid wood floors, and sleepers that rival million dollar homes, the vast majority of the NAST group will be picking up a load the day after the show and go back to work as usual.
Q: Who is Photo Card Specialists, Inc. (PCS)?
A: Photo Card Specialists, Inc. specializes in the designing and printing of photographic business products for the transportation industry. PCS has professional photographers and support staff who work in helping to promote and photograph several truck show venues in the United States for over 25 years.
