GBATS 2023 at 4 State Trucks in Joplin, MO 9/21 - 9/23

If you’ve been to a Guilty By Association Truck Show (GBATS) presented by Chrome Shop Mafia, then you know what’s coming September 2023.  If you haven’t been, you need to check out the GBATS Facebook page and check out our photos from the previous shows. Its time to find out what you’ve been missing. Make plans to be in Joplin, MO on September 21-23, 2023!

What is GBATS?

GBATS is a biannual truck show held by Chrome Shop Mafia & 4 State Trucks in conjunction with the Joplin 44 Petro and sponsored by OOIDA.  It’s a time when the trucking industry and community come together to enjoy all aspects of trucking and the super cool things that come with it.

Love food trucks and vendors? We will have them too! What about a Truck and Tractor Pull? The fun begins at 6:30 PM (limited seating available)!

Then on Saturday, we will have a Kids Pedal Tractor Pull, Celebrity Meet and Greet, and the Convoy Auction to raise money for Special Olympics of Missouri.  Then to end the truck show we have a Convoy to the Street Party at Mercy Park (26th & Maiden Lane) in Joplin, MO! Join us at Mercy Park for a free concert!

It’s just about the most fun you can have with your truck. A cross between a truck show, a customer expo, and an open house, GBATS is jam-packed with fun, good food, and great friends.

What do we need from you?

All you have to do is show up and enjoy a low-stress weekend. You don’t have to worry about how sharp your rig is, how much money you’ve invested in it, or how it will be judged – because it won’t be! Wash it. Shammy it. Park it. And have a great time! There’s no cost to enter, but here’s a little tip: Get here on Wednesday if you can, get registered, and get parked.

Come and enjoy the hospitality of our friendly crew, check out over 800 awesome working show trucks & enjoy great music. Our famous Storewide Super Sale with all items marked down at least 10% will be in full force on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and reps for all major brands will be here to demo their products and answer any technical questions you may have.

Partake of some great food, enjoy a high-energy Truck & Tractor Pull followed by a fantastic firework show on Friday night. Saturday includes the world’s largest truck convoy for the Special Olympics of Missouri and a high-action party with live music.

A couple of days with the gang at Chrome Shop Mafia and you’ll see why we’re so proud of Joplin’s Trucking heritage and why there is no better place in the United States to show off these big rigs than right here in our front yard!
