Taking place at the 1.2 million-square-foot Kentucky Exposition Center, MATS attendees will be able to enjoy free live music, check out the newest big rigs on the market and explore the latest offerings from the top vendors in the trucking industry.
“The Mid-America Trucking Show is a great event that gives us the opportunity to connect in-person with our carriers from all over the country and receive feedback on what is working and where we can improve,” said Nikhil Jaipuria, director of product at Convoy. “It also allows us to learn more about the latest trends and services that carriers rely on.”
