The Classy Truck of the Year contest is in full swing this week, as the 12 rigs featured in 2012 issues of Pumper have received many, many votes of support in the first few days of voting. Cast your ballot and help choose the winning vacuum truck to be featured on the cover of the February Pumper & Cleaner Expo show issue.

It’s easy to vote. Simply click on the Classy Trucks tab on the front page of this website, hit “vote now’’ and choose your favorite truck. The contest will remain open through Dec. 21. One vote is allowed per Internet account.

The winner will be chosen by the online vote and a panel of COLE Publishing judges.

It’s always fun to see which trucks resonate with the voters. Is it a flashy paint scheme or eye-catching graphics on a stainless steel tank? Is it a laundry list of convenience features or a big tank on a favorite brand of chassis? We’ll know after Dec. 21.

Be sure to check out the trucks and let your voice be heard!
