Holy Smokes-Louisville was a Home Run of a SHOW! There was a great feeling of optimism in nearly all of the people we encountered, the crowd was HUGE! A new record was set…over 80,000 attendees! The exhibit hall was a FULL HOUSE as there were over 1200 exhibitors, and the Paul K Young-Truck Show-n-Shine was completely full! Three late arriving trucks had to be turned away as there was no space left to park em! All in all, I am gonna call it the BEST Mid America Trucking Show of the last 6-7 years!
Both our indoor, and outdoor booths were busy with visits from new customers, as well as existing customers and 100’s of our old friends! Always good to see folks and catch up on the latest news in their lives and explore how we may be able to help. The entire CSM crew really enjoys Wednesday at MATS, as we get to spend the entire day on the ‘prep’ lot cooking for the truck owners as they clean their trucks for the Thurs-Fri and Saturday competition. It is the high light of our show and we sure have fun spending the day discussin’ custom trucks and shootin’ the breeze with drivers from all over the big ol’ USA.
Now……..it’s Back To Work here at CSM Head-Quarters in Joplin as the shop is booked up, the store is crowded, the phones a’ringin and there is Work that needs to be done every where I look!
Whew, I’m tired already and we are just getting started.
Come on, let’s go!
