Why Do You Attend MATS?

“I go to MATS to find business solutions to help my business grow and run smoother. I’ve talked to exhibiting companies such as Volvo with issues with my truck to find out how I can save money and time. You can’t beat these relationships you create here.”

Why Do You Recommend MATS?

“I tell everybody, you have to come to the Mid America Trucking Show if you are in the industry. I’ve gained so much information by coming here, there’s always something you can write down, and there’s always something new you can learn here. I’ve bought products and created long lasting business relationships here at this show.”

 “There’s nowhere else you get firsthand education like you do here at MATS. Everything I know in trucking, I’ve learned from attending this show.”

Networking:

“You never know who you are going to run into at MATS. I always tell people to bring a notepad and business cards to the show here. Follow up and touch base with the connections you make here. Everybody here at MATS can help your business.”

Future Generation of Drivers:

“I always take my son here to the show, he’s a truck driver as well now. Him and his friends will ask me questions about truck driving all the time, and I tell them, they need to get to MATS. This is where I got all my information, they need to be here. I’m a resource of information because of this show.”

More Attendee Spotlights

“It’s hard to describe just how much is going on at one place during MATS.”
“We come to MATS with a plan each year. We make a list of exhibiting companies we need to check out before the show to make sure we network and see what new products they have. Communication is possible because everybody is here at the show.”
“Everybody at MATS is so helpful and willing to talk to you to find needs for your business. Keep your ears open and your mouth closed, because you really learn so much here.”
