Why Do You Attend MATS?
“I attend MATS because the future of the trucking industry is right here before my eyes. I am able to see what is new and check out new products that I can take back to my company.”
Why Do You Recommend MATS?
“At MATS, I can compare products live, and on the spot to find the best ones for my use. When comparing products, I am also able to network with these industry professionals to help build relationships.”
“You can see what products work for you and what products don’t work for you at MATS. You can test them out to find the best fit for your business.”
Hands On Demonstrations:
“I come to MATS with a list of exhibitors that I want to visit that have products that catch my eye. Having experience being a foreman and now a driver, there are a lot of products that can benefit my job and improve efficiency. If you are in the industry, there is something here for everybody that can help.”
Post Show Purchasing:
“Being able to test products out has made the post show purchasing experience much easier. Since I can live demo products and test out their capabilities, there are no surprises when receiving products after the show. I know exactly what they do and how they improve my operations.”
More Attendee Spotlights
“The Mid America Trucking Show is the only show I go to. It’s the only show that I make sure to take off time from work and attend. In my mind, it’s really the only show worth coming to if you want to see the entire industry.”
“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.”
“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.”
