• The nominee must be a board member and the current owner of the truck.
• The must be together and able to move on its own power.
• If a truck was selected as a 2018 or 2019 TOTM winner then you are ineligible. If the truck was nominated but not selected as a TOTM winner then it may be nominated and compete in this month's category.
