Is your trucking business attending the Mid-American Trucking Show (MATS)? If not, it is a great opportunity to learn about the industry’s latest technology, products, equipment, and services in order to improve various aspects of your trucking business.
What is the Mid-America Trucking Show?
The Mid-American Trucking Show (MATS) is held in Louisville, Kentucky annually towards the end of March. MATS is the largest heavy-duty trucking trade show in the world where businesses and individuals in the trucking industry come together to network and gain further insight into the industry.
History of MATS
In 1972, the Mid-American Trucking Show was founded to make heavy-duty trucking shows accessible to the eastern half of the United States. This created an opportunity for those in the industry to further develop their businesses and learn from the experiences of others within the industry. The show was geared towards fleets and owner-operators with the goal of being more accessible than other trucking shows held previously. The first time MATS was held in 1972, the show had roughly around 4,000 attendees and 83 exhibitors. Fifty-one years later, the event has grown to become the world’s largest heavy-duty trucking show bringing in over 58,000 attendees and over 850 exhibitors.
