A Boot-Stompin' Good Time

The Lone Star State is the host for the sixth Great American Trucking Show, Sept. 10-12, and you and your family are invited. Polish your boots and point your truck toward a weekend full of entertainment, information and fun. More than 39,000 trucking professionals exhibited at or visited the show at the Dallas Convention Center last year, and it’s expected to be even bigger this year.

Truckers go to trucking shows for all kinds of reasons – to see new products, meet old friends or treat their family to a real trucking vacation. Mostly, it’s an opportunity to keep yourself current with what’s going on in trucking and have a good time.

Entertainment
Top country group Diamond Rio, sponsored by Mobil Delvac, will perform on Friday, Sept. 10. The group combines bluegrass harmonies with a driving beat on award-winning singles such as “Beautiful Mess” and “Love a Little Stronger.”

On Saturday night, Volvo Trucks North America will sponsor six-time Grammy-winning Country artist Ronnie Milsap.

The concerts are free for registered GATS attendees on a first come, first served basis.

Other entertainment includes The Midnight Trucking Radio Network host Eric Harley with autograph sessions with Roy D. Mercer and Rebecca Lynn Howard.
