Truck drivers can rev their engines, we’re excited to announce that on Sunday, 30th March, we will be welcoming back the Tui Truck Stop Show & Shine event at Tui Brewery in Mangatainoka. It’s a fantastic day for spectators and the trucking community alike. Truckies get to show off their rigs and compete for loads of fabulous prizes, and everyone will be treated to an impressive display, along with entertainment and fun for all.
We’ll be showcasing some of the finest trucks in the country, and we’d like to invite you to be part of the action. Mark the date on your calendar and spread the word.
In addition to a truckload of trucks and epic prizes, the Tui kitchen will be serving up delicious food and beverages throughout the day. There will also be live music, food trucks (what, even more trucks!?), and plenty of fun activities and entertainment for everyone.
PRE-REGISTER your truck online. It makes it easier than on the day and is only $10. Then on the day just drive in, park up and you’re done! Easy as.
If you have any additional questions or would like to register a fleet of trucks, please get in touch at 06 376 0815 or email hospo@tuihq.co.nz
