In Their Own Words
"At MATS, I was able to make a connection with a Peterbilt salesman that led to a tour of the Fitzgerald Peterbilt facility where I was able to see some of the lighter kits I was interested in. After this facility tour, I ended up buying a lighter kit. Opportunities like these wouldn’t happen if I didn’t attend MATS and build these relationships.”
"The seminars have served as a tremendous learning experience, there’s always a takeaway. Whether it’s products, regulations, or financial information, the information you get is second to none. The FMCSA seminar in particular has continued to provide great information to help keep me updated about current and upcoming regulations that I was not aware of beforehand.”
"I was walking the show floor and found a company exhibiting at MATS for the first time. I spoke with them, and found out they were offering three times the amount of money I made at the time. I was not even looking for a new job at the time, but I spoke to the representatives and they said all the right things. To this day, I still work for that company. I would have never found career advancement if it wasn’t for this show.”
