Wife and I are going to the expo in Lexington this year, studying on starting out in a straight truck in the Spring of next year. When I was a road driver, I saw a lot of pets riding along, I always assumed that the expo would be pet friendly but I know it was not in the past. Anybody know if they allow pets in the expo at Lexington this year? Thanks

We are having to leave our kitty Squeaky at home due to no pets allowed. We will be using our truck inside for the pre trip challenge and also showing the trucks sleeper. Squeaker likes people so he would be out wandering around seeing who all he could meet.

Turns out we found a vacation rental house just outside of Lexington that allows pets, we can leave him there during the day. We are coming in on Thursday night and leaving Sunday so we can get in as many workshops and exhibits as possible.

Caffe, did I see your name a speaker on some of those workshops?
