Celebrating our October, November, and December 2025 Calendar Features
October
"It is an absolute honor to have been chosen to be featured in the 2025 Shell Rotella®
calendar. I take a great deal of pride in my ride, even though it is a 'company' truck. The opportunity is very
humbling, to say the least, because I know most people who enter your shows aspire to earn a calendar spot. It gives
us drivers a way to be ambassadors of the trade and put a face to the truck. Again, it's an honor to have been
chosen, and I thank everyone who made it possible! We use Shell Rotella® oil in our trucks. The
consistent quality of the products keeps our older trucks running like new. The majority of our trucks have over 2
million miles, and mine has 2.5 million! And now for my quote: 'Never forget where you came from and who helped you
along the way.'"
– Derek Bridgman, 1999 Peterbilt 279
November
"Being picked for the calendar is an absolute honor. We've been in the trucking business since
1936. My cousin has been attending SuperRigs® for over a decade, and I figured it's time for me to follow
in his footsteps. There has been a barrel of T4 Triple Protection® 15W-40 in our shop since I was old
enough to walk. It's what we've always used and will continue to use. You can run motors long and hard on Shell
Rotella® products."
– Alex Schleuger, 2005 Kenworth W900L
December
"First of all, I would like to thank you very much for selecting me for your 2025 Shell
Rotella® SuperRig Calendar. It is a great honor to be one of the twelve chosen from such a large group of
trucks, where everyone takes pride in striving to achieve this recognition. Secondly, I believe Shell
Rotella® engine oils are an excellent product that I have been using for 43 years. It has never let me
down, whether in my Cat motors or my Cummins motors."
