For the past several years the Trucking Solutions Group (TSG) has had a Drivers Health Walk and the American Red Cross blood drive. This year the TSG will have a representative for a Bone Marrow registry to sign up potential donors.

The American Red Cross Blood Drive will be held on Friday and Saturday on a first come first serve basis. The Bone Marrow registry is also located in the American Red Cross Blood drive booth and will be held all three days. Please stop by the booth to see if you can be a potential bone marrow donor and find out why is so important to register.

On all three days at 2:00 Henry, Bob, and I will be at the TA/Petro booth talking with Homer Hogg about the Citizen Driver award and answering questions.

On Saturday morning at 9:00 will be the Trucking Solutions Group Driver Health Walk. This year we will be walking over to where President John Kennedy was assassinated and back to the convention center. This destination walk is a little over a mile. More information about the walk can be found at the American Red Cross booth or at the TA/Petro booth.

Another fun event is the Women in Trucking "I Love Trucking" reception held Friday evening at 5:00; there will be goody bags for attendees. Men and Women are welcome at this event; stop by the Women in Trucking booth for more details.

Our new Cascadia Evolution will also be attending the show and will be in the Bolt Custom Truck Booth. The new Caffcadia was built in Cleveland, NC on June 25th and GATS will be the second show the truck has attended. Stop by and see our new truck and see if you can find the ten hidden Mickey's in the sleeper.

We will spend most of our time at the Freightliner Booth in the Team Run Smart area talking to drivers about the web site and benefits of being a Team Run Smart member. Please stop by and say Hi!
