Why Do You Attend MATS?
“My whole crazy adventure with trucks began at MATS in 2017. Things have come a long way since then, when I didn’t know anybody in the industry. Now, I attend to visit with friends, meet people in person with interact with my social media accounts, and make new content to share with my audience.”
Why Do You Recommend MATS?
“MATS is a great way to see what’s new, see your favorite industry folks in person, and meet like-minded folks from all over the world. The PKY show lets you see some of the coolest rigs up close, and meet the owners to discuss the work that’s been done, and the daily life of the truckers.”
“It’s hard to describe just how much is going on at one place during MATS.”
How has MATS helped your trucking career:
“Who knows where I’d be right now if I hadn’t gone to MATS in 2017, and decided on a whim to take a sketchbook with me. I decided to start out drawing JC Alt’s cabover, and am now up to around 300 total truck drawings. Over the years, I’ve been able to meet so many great folks who helped build and grow my business – and plenty who have become great friends!”
What does being a MATS influencer mean:
“Being part of the MATS influencer team in 2022 gave me the chance to make tons of video, stories, and photos, which led to a huge boom in my social media platforms. Getting to the show early let me share behind-the-scenes content and hype everything up for the kick off of the event. As a lifetime member of ATHS, MATS gave me a platform to have a meet and greet hosted at their booth during the show.”
More Attendee Spotlights
“MATS has absolutely influenced our purchase decisions already. After attending for the first time, we are already making plans to redo one of our trucks. Going into 2023, we are steadily growing and want to add another truck by year’s end, so we definitely want to increase our budget for the show and put some of our increased profit into products and service at MATS.”
“MATS provides an open forum where I can actually test out and see products live and in-person. I am able to research and make purchase decisions here that I know will directly improve my business.”
“At MATS, I am able to create business relationships that help for future business endeavors. I form these relationships at the show, which then make following up with the company representatives that much easier when it comes to getting questions answered and buying their product.”
