Truck Simulator Rental for Events and Expos
Book a truck simulator rental, and your visitors climb into a big-rig driving seat and take the road on a large screen. A trucking or logistics booth gets an activity tied to its own industry.
Our driving cockpits on show floors
The truck station is a driving cockpit, and our driving cockpits already have show days and office events behind them.
Four stations, one leaderboard
Several drivers at once, all chasing one ranking. That's how we ran four driving stations at a Capital Group social, and the truck station works in the same multi-station setup.
A truck simulator for events in transportation and logistics
Your visitors spend their days thinking about trucks, routes and drivers. A truck cab on your booth speaks their language before anyone says a word.
At a fleet, freight or logistics trade show, a counter and brochures are easy to walk past. A visitor in a driver's seat with a big rig on screen stands out from the aisle. While one person drives, the people waiting watch, and your team has time to talk to them.
It also works for recruiting drivers, celebrating a fleet's safety record or opening a new depot. For automotive and transportation companies, we plan the format around the audience.
A driving challenge set up for your booth
We set the drive around who visits your booth and how long they'll stay.
Short runs
We plan session length around visitor flow, so the line doesn't stall a busy aisle.
A leaderboard
Scores go up on a screen, and visitors return to beat them. A prize for the top driver keeps it going all show.
A drive picked for your audience
We choose the driving game and the challenge with you, from a calm delivery run to a timed one.
More than one station
Two or more cabs side by side make it a head-to-head contest.
What's included
One booking brings the station and the people to run it.
- Delivery and setup. We build and test the cockpit before the show opens.
- An operator. They run the station for every show hour.
- Your branding. Your logo on the station and the results screen, agreed in advance.
- Teardown. We take everything away after the last drive.
Truck simulator rental cost
Your quote covers your show, your booth and your hours.
We don't have a fixed rate. Every event gets a custom quote based on:
- How many stations you want.
- Show days and hours.
- Your city and the travel to it.
- Booth access, load-in times and freight rules at the venue.
- Branding on the cab and the results screen.
- A leaderboard and prizes.
The how we quote page explains the process in more detail.
Projects with our driving stations
These two events used our driving cockpits and show how a show day or an office event runs with us.

What the truck station looks like
These frames show the cab, the screen and the space a station takes on a booth.
Show paperwork
Show organizers and venues ask for documents before move-in, and you'll have ours in time.
We send insurance documents to venues and organizers on request. We also agree move-in and move-out times, the freight route and booth power with you and the show team. Forward us the exhibitor manual, and we'll work from it.
What sinks a booth activation
A simulator at a show can draw a crowd, or it can stand empty. These are the common reasons it goes wrong.
Sessions that run long.
A ten-minute drive blocks the station and the aisle. We plan short runs from the start.
A station with nobody at it.
Visitors hesitate to climb in alone. Our operator invites them and explains the controls.
No reason to come back.
Without scores, people try once and leave. A leaderboard and a prize bring them back.
A footprint that doesn't fit.
A cab, a screen and a line all need floor. We check your booth plan before we book.
Missed move-in slots.
Shows run tight freight schedules. We confirm our slot with the show team in advance.
How it works
From the first message to teardown, you know who does what.
Inside the truck station
- A driving cockpit with a seat, steering wheel and pedals
- A large display with truck driving gameplay, plus a leaderboard screen if you want a contest
Here's what arrives at your booth.
The station is built for event entertainment. It isn't certified driver training or a licensing course. We confirm the footprint, power and setup time for your booth before you book.
Want a race car instead of a big rig? See our racing simulator rental.
Who's on your booth with us
Your team talks to visitors. Ours runs the station.
- Operator. Keeps the line moving and updates the scores.
- Event lead. Plans move-in with you and the show team, leads setup and teardown and stays your contact on site.

At the Orange County Convention Center, booth electrical and rigging are ordered from the center only. We send our power needs early, so they go into your exhibitor order on time. Transport, setup and the operator are planned together, so you have one team to call. Send us the show, the city and the dates, and we'll confirm availability. Want more stations on the same floor? Browse all our event rentals.
Orlando office: 310 N Orange Ave, STE. 201, Orlando, FL 32801Questions
Do guests need truck driving experience?
No. The operator explains the wheel and pedals and helps first-time drivers get rolling.
Is this a CDL training simulator?
No. It's entertainment for events. It doesn't count toward driver training or a license.
How much space and power does it need?
Room for the cab, the screen, the operator and a short line. We confirm the footprint and outlets with your booth plan.
Is this a game truck rental?
No. A game truck is a trailer with video game consoles parked outside. Ours is one driving station with a seat, wheel and pedals that we set up on your booth or in your venue.
Can you brand it?
Yes. We discuss logos on the station and the results screen when we plan your event.
Can we have more than one?
Yes. Extra stations are quoted on request, and they can share one leaderboard.
Bring a big rig to your booth
Send the show and the dates. We'll check availability right away and bring the station, the operator and the teardown crew. Tell us the event type, dates, city, expected visitors and budget. Add your booth size and whether you want a leaderboard or branding. Or call +1 213 912 1010
