July Boss Minutes
It’s like this……there are a BUNCH of great truck shows this summer and fall, and we will attend quite a few of 'em, but, OUR EYES ARE ALL LOOKIN at Oct 1 & 2-that’s the 2 BIG DAYS!
The 2nd Annual Guilty By Association Truck Show & Customer Expo (GBATS-for short!) will be held right here at our lil’ ol’ chrome shop in Joplin, MO! Two days of some of the most truckin’ fun folks can have! And YOU are invited!
If you got a Big Rig you are proud of, shine it up and come on over to 4 State Trucks and Show It Off with a whole buncha Brother Truckers!
Even if you don’t have a truck, just come and spend a weekend here at CSM! We got a full slate of events both days! I guarantee ya, all we need is a lil’ sunshine, and a BLAST will be had by ALL who attend -- fun for the whole family!
Well over a hundred cool trucks will be competing for trophies, prizes, and bragging rights, but mostly havin fun! All truck owners competing will be eligible for cash prizes, gift certificate packages of $500-$1000 and $2000, and all 12 trucks for our 2011 Outlaw Trucks Calendar will be selected at this event! There will be Shop Tours both days for anyone interested. We will show you ‘behind the scenes’ of 4 State Trucks-Home of the Chrome Shop Mafia! Activities for the young ones will be taking place, like an Official Kids Pedal Tractor Pull for ages 6-12, race cars, monster trucks, coloring contest, fire trucks, and more!
There will be a poker run held, where drivers can visit 5 locations throughout our facility and the best hand wins big $$! On both days, Red, Hot & Blue will be providing some great grub and drinks for attendees to enjoy, plus we got live bands both nights at 8pm (Brent Baker on Friday & Matt Coleman LIVE on Saturday), and a huge fireworks show Saturday nite!!
Freightliner Trucks will be here with several new Trucks and NASCAR race cars too! And……….the Frieghtliner folks will also award 5 lucky truckers FREE tickets to a Richard Petty Driving Experience at various race tracks across the country! We are proud to have team Freightliner on display at GBATS!
Our ol' buddy Dave Amick will be comin' down from Norfolk, Nebraska, to handle mosta the MC’in, and where Dave goes…a good time follows! Several of the editors from the nation's leading trucking magazines will be on site to ‘get the real story’ and capture the highlights of the show for upcoming issues! And Eric Harley from MTRN will be on site to orchestrate some informative Question & Answer sessions featuring ‘The design and building of the Freightliner Victory Lane Edition Coronado’, ‘How to install full fenders & 3 pc Jumbo Exhaust Pipes on your Truck’ with Lil Joe, cover a cool fabrication project-‘from start to finish’ with Dave in our Fab Shop, and last-but not least-visit with Jimbo & Rick SCRAPYARD DOG about the fine art of scrapping out a Big Rig!! Don’t miss these fun sessions; bring your questions!! We like the questions, so bring some good uns!
Everything in the store will be 10% off regular price! So, if you are lookin' at some big ticket items, you can SAVE BIG this weekend!!! And don’t overlook our Bargain Basement where there are 100’s of SCREAMIN DEALS that may have a lil' scrape or dent, be a close-out item, or simply just have damaged packaging!
So, as you can see….we are goin' ALL OUT to make sure YOU enjoy a great weekend here at our place, so don’t let us down…..ease on down to Joplin and experience some ol’ fashioned Missouri hospitality…..all of the crew at 4 State Trucks is lookin' forward to your visit!
