Expedite Expo 2016: A New Era Rolls Out in Lexington, Kentucky

On July 15 – 16, in Lexington, Ky., a new era will roll out for the largest trucking show in the world focused exclusively on the expedited industry.

The Expedite Expo, which had been held at the Roberts Convention Centre in Wilmington, Ohio, since 2006, will open its doors this Friday for the first time at Lexington Convention Center, located in the heart of the city with convenient access to hotels and amazing dining and entertainment venues.

Because of the significant increase in attendees and exhibitors in recent years, On Time Media LLC, the producer and organizer of Expedite Expo, needed to find a new venue to accommodate the growth.

"The goal was to be able to deliver more by moving to Lexington KY -- more free parking, more hotel rooms, more local fare, and more Expedite Expo," said Lawrence McCord, chief executive officer for On Time Media.

For drivers, the new venue offers easy access from I-75 and acres of free overnight car, truck, tractor-trailer and RV parking.

And the change has come at a good time as pre-registration is almost double what is was at the same time last year, according to McCord. The Expo is expected to attract over 5,000 attendees across North America, where they'll come to learn about the newest trucks, career opportunities and products geared specifically to owner-operators and drivers in expedited trucking.

The show has come a long way from its humble beginnings in 2001, where there were 10 exhibitors under a circus tent at the Detroiter Truck Stop in Woodhaven, Mich.

Are You Looking for a New Era to Roll Out in Your Career?
If so, what if you could be in a business that enables you to travel all over the country -- and get paid doing it? What if you could pursue a second profitable career with your spouse after you've "empty nested"?

These are the types of opportunities that expedited trucking offers, and you can learn about them first-hand at Expedite Expo. The registration is free -- and so is parking.
