“MATS has been part of our growth as a company, we come every year, we always show our new product here, we get a lot of dealers that come through here, and we sign dealers up. It’s part of growing a business, you need to be here. It’s so big, the nicest truck show in the country. It’s worked really well for us.”

“After the show, because of the breadth of the attendance, we tend to have a fairly significant download of apps after the show. So that tells us that we are getting noticed, that tells us that our value proposition is coming across to those that we’re talking to, and that makes the show worthwhile for us…It really allows us to broaden our portfolio and be able to talk to a big audience here. That’s really exciting for us. It really shows how we’re growing the business.”
Greg Roberts / Trucker Path
“The sales leads generation has been really good at MATS this year. We’ve had lots of opportunity, a high level of engagement with our products that’s led to opportunities and we’ve been able to close that business while we’re here.”
Chris Tullus / Hunter Engineering
“We’ve built many of our partnerships right here at MATS, some of the biggest companies initially we work with and partner with now, we’ve built those relationships from MATS and being able to approach and talk to them and expand on our industry reach is due to MATS because everybody’s here.”
Amer Advic / Find Truck Service
“It’s extremely important for us to be at a show like this and be able to interact with the fleet managers, the buyers of those fleets, but also the drivers. You get good solid feedback on your products down here.”

Attendees
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.”
"MATS really gives you the opportunity to improve your business operations. After only one year of attending, we have already become dealers for Fass Fuel System and PDI. Getting these opportunities is only possible for us because of this show.”
"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.”
"MATS is a great learning experience. Anything trucking you need is there so it allows me to get a lot done in a very short period of time. We’ve been able to demo and research lots of new products and we’ve signed on with new suppliers as a result of getting face to face with the people behind the product.”
