Default Re: MATS Mid-America Trucking Show

Haha....I apologize but I have to chuckle a little bit at this one.

They don't do a background check at the door guys.

Just fill out the short little form they give you if you don't already have a pre-registered ticket when you walk in.....put down your name (heck use an alias if you prefer, have fun with it). Then just fill in some fictitious BS about what company you work for, how many rigs are in your fleet, what type of commodities you haul, then what position, etc. such as Mechanic, Driver.

After that hand your info over to one of the folks working the computers and after a little bit of technical magic a nifty little name badge and laminated holder will appear from behind the scenes.....and no lie detector test either, LOL.

Heck the first year I went I was a 19 year old trucking tycoon....owner of S&W Ag Transport. Didn't even exist and still doesn't....well not for a few years anyhow, LOL.

Have fun at the show....won't be able to attend this year myself but hope that all who do enjoy themselves. Tell the girls at the Hooters booth I said hi will ya!
