13 days left till MATS and we are counting down the days. March 27 - 29.

Parking:
Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium parking lot. The parking is free and hundreds of trucks can fit in here. There are shuttle buses running back and forth to the show. There is an Expedite Area designated in the parking lot. If the weather is good all of us will gather to sit and chat, bbq, play corn hole, and learn what each other has found at the truck show. We will have our truck in this area on Wednesday.

Thursday Evening - Papa Johns Parking Lot

Join the Trucking Solutions Group for the MATS Driver Health Awareness Walk at 6:30 pm. We will meet at the TA/Petro Shower trailer and OOIDA Stage. This year we will have a destination walk over the Churchill Downs, around the Barbaro statue, and back. TA/Petro is once again sponsoring the walk and they have a nice surprise for everyone that completes the walk.

Saturday

Salute to Women behind the Wheel - 11:00 am South Wing,
[FONT=Open Sans, sans-serif]Rooms C201-C204 (2nd floor). This is a fun event for all women drivers, great gift bags, goodies, music, networking opportunities, and a free t-shirt. Remember when attending the Salute to take the survey that Dorothy Cox will be working on about the need to get a mammogram bus at these events.

All three days stop by the Freightliner booth and say Hi! We will be working with our fellow Team Run Smart Pro's and we look forward to seeing you! Bob Perry will also be demonstrating the FIT System in his 1/2 cab.

There are many activities at this truck show and in three days it is impossible to see it all. Bring your walking shoes as they are needed.

One of the things we miss now off the road is MATS. We did not go every year but it is a great, great show. If you have not been to this show before but are on the fence about going, do yourself the favor of going. You will not be disappointed.

Jenny I know that Jeannie is planning on being there almost as early as we are so we will have the corned staked out! I am sure hoping to have good weather this year.

Hope everyone will join us on the walk since we are starting from the Papa Johns Parking Lot!

I also find it pretty cool that there will be A shower trailer this year. I am sure they will find that there is a need for TRAILERS not just one. I hope this is a step in the right direction and everyone will use the trailers and take care of them.

See you at the WALK!

That doesn't make you a bad person. Stocky maybe, but not a bad person.

That would be nice, I've been with TS for 7 months now and have only seen 9 people that were also leased with em.

We used to be. The guy who bought our van is, and we still have a few friends over there. If you do come, in the far end corner of the Papa Johns lot you will find the "expedite corner" there are a few there already
