During the 2025 Rush Enterprises Tech Skills Rodeo, technicians were challenged to isolate problems and make repairs on trucks that were bugged with issues by the judges. Although it was a timed-event competition, technicians needed to follow the proper steps and also be able to explain the process.
They competed in Medium-Duty Supplier Divisions or Heavy-Duty Supplier Divisions in which the truck, or bus, was bugged and contestants needed to determine the issue and make the repair.
Medium-Duty Supplier Divisions included:
Medium-Duty, Allison
Medium-Duty, Bus
Medium-Duty, Ford
Medium-Duty, Hino
Medium-Duty, Isuzu
Medium-Duty, International
Medium-Duty, Peterbilt
Heavy-Duty Supplier Divisions included:
Heavy-Duty, Alternative Fuels
Heavy-Duty, Vocational
Heavy-Duty, Cummins
Heavy- Duty Eaton
Heavy-Duty, IH Engine
Heavy-Duty, Paccar MX
Body shop technicians competed off-site in two divisions, and Rush also held a Rising Stars competition for technicians with less than two years of experience.
