Technologies, TripPak, and more, the All American Superstar competition dominates the trucking industry as the number one way to get noticed.
A company in the trucking industry sponsors each contestant. In addition to the overall promotion of the show, each contestant receives exposure opportunities from their sponsor company. Most of the companies are participating in the program to boost their driver recruitment efforts. Others are promoting a product or service to the industry.
To drive votes for their contestant, sponsor companies promote the program within their organization at local, state, and national levels through print advertising, direct mail, Internet banners, and other mediums. In addition, contestants interact directly with drivers at two industry events the Mid-America Trucking Show, which is the largest truck show in the country, and during an event hosted by the sponsor company.
SIRIUS Satellite Radio serves as the radio partner for the program, hosting a weekly show that highlights the artists and their sponsor companies. Boasting more than 5.1 million subscribers, SIRIUS is a favorite among drivers. Artists are interviewed on-air and have the opportunity to speak directly to the drivers responsible for determining their success in the contest and their career.
