Kings of the Road rolling into Full of the Pipe once more
08/07/2026
The Kings of the Road team is getting ready again for one of the highlights of the trucking calendar — Full of the Pipe Truck Show 2026 at Mondello Park on July 11th and 12th. As long-time fans and supporters of the event, the iconic brand is thrilled to be attending in an official capacity and can’t wait to meet customers, supporters and drivers from across the country, and beyond.
As the magnificent Kings of the Road brand continues to grow, one thing remains unchanged: its dedication to the people who live the trucking life, drive the miles and carry the loads. This brand is made for them — the true kings of the road.
Since its inception just five years ago, Kings of the Road has evolved into a trucking phenomenon and they’ll have a strong presence front and centre at FOTP again this summer.
Led by Kris Reid and Paul Leonard, Kings of the Road is the premier Irish trucking lifestyle brand, officially operating as an ultra-enthusiastic, -active and -energetic merchandise shop, media outlet and community hub for truck enthusiasts.
Known for its official merchandise store and sponsoring / attending major truck shows. Kings of the Road celebrates the trucking community, culture and Scania truck life across Ireland and the UK.
The Kings of the Road official merchandise range offers a wide variety of high-quality branded products, including adult clothing, workwear, truck lights, merchandise and truckwear for kids and ladies. KOTR also maintain a strong presence on social media platforms showcasing truck adventures, lorry life and the closely-knit trucking community in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Irish truckers are very familiar with the Kings of the Road Facebook page, where all their adventures and truck-related musings / news / reports and updates are gathered, and the updates after this year’s Full of the Pipe are amongst the most eagerly anticipated of the year. Kings of the Road get fully behind Ireland’s premier truck show gathering every year and 2026 will be no exception.
From its home base in the scenic village of Belcoo, County Fermanagh, Kings of the Road has become one of the most recognised online trucking lifestyle brands in the UK and Irish trucking community. Launched just five years ago, the brand quickly earned a loyal following with its practical, high-quality range of clothing, boot cleaning kits and safety gear — all designed with the real-life needs of truckers in mind.
But Kings of the Road was never just about merchandise. At its core, it was built on a love for the people who keep the logistics industry moving — the men and women who live their lives behind the wheel, day in and day out.
Europe’s leading truck brand Kings of the Road is sponsoring Full of the Pipe again this summer and founder / director Kris Reid points out that it’s the hard-working and dedicated truckers keeping the wheels turning week in and week out who are the real kings and queens of the road referenced in this popular business’ name.
Leveraging its founders’ expertise and passion for trucking and trucks to establish a thriving business that sets new standards in the industry, Kings of the Road has grown exponentially since its formation in 2021. Its growth trajectory pretty much mirrors that of Full of the Pipe, making the two brands perfect partners!
The Kings of the Road online store sells a vast range of premium quality merchandise, clothing, footwear, music, truck care products and accessories. Interest in their exclusively truck-themed products has soared since the business was established and this is driven in part by the huge social media following built up, comprising over one million followers across all the popular platforms.
The Kings of the Road Ireland and Kings of the Road Facebook pages currently boast 222,100 and 156,100 followers respectively, while Kings of the Road has also amassed an army of followers and likes on its busy Instagram and TikTok channels.
This is vastly more traffic than official pages for many renowned manufacturers and Kings of the Road were humbled a couple of years ago when approached by none other than Scania themselves to become an official content creator.
While the Irish market remains the biggest one for Kings of the Road, their merchandise is being sold all over the world, from the United States to France and from Germany to Australia. All the products are of the highest quality, including many carrying the Kings of the Road brand itself.
As is now customary, the lads and lasses (kings and queens…) of Kings of the Road will be mixing business with pleasure in inimitable fashion yet again at Full of the Pipe 2026, where their knowledge, enthusiasm, wit and merch will be on full display!
