The Roberts Convention Centre in Wilmington, Ohio, is the place to be July 26 and 27 for the 13th annual Expedite Expo.
The event is now America’s largest expedited trucking show, and this year’s edition promises even more fun.
With more than 120 exhibits and a wide range of events and entertainment, the show offers something for everyone.
“We will have a broad range of exhibits and information services for owner operators, drivers and fleet managers,” said Expo Manager Lawrence McCord. “There will be a lot of things to see and do.”
Several lucky visitors to the Expo will go home with a little extra spending money in their pockets as well – at 4 p.m. each day, a $1,000 cash prize will be given away to a lucky winner.
Workshops
A total of 13 driver and carrier workshops are planned for the two-day expo, covering a range of topics including maintenance, insurance, vehicle financing and CSA. These sessions are free, and they give Expo attendees an opportunity to hear from experts with information that can make a big difference in a driver’s bottom line.
Antique Truck Show
Once again, Expedite Expo attendees will be an treated to an amazing array of antique trucks. Sponsored by Old Time Trucks magazine, the show will feature classic trucks from all over the United States. A wide variety of years, makes, and models will be on display. This display of rare trucks gives Expo attendees even more reasons to make the trip to Wilmington.
New Trucks
With so many owner-operators, fleet owners, company drivers and industry executives gathered in one venue, it only makes sense that the Expedite Expo features the nation’s top expedited truck dealers who exhibit the newest and most innovative truck equipment and sleepers on the market. Dealers typically utilize the Expo to give potential buyers a good long look at their new features, models and floor plans.
Entertainment
There will be plenty of fun to go around with Expo entertainment including Master fishing angler, Keith Johnson along with his mobile 40 foot – 4,000 gallon aquarium will do live Bass Fishing demonstrations – it’s fun and action packed! Also on hand will be the Amazing Portable Circus and a performance each day by Jungle Jack Hanna’s troupe featuring animals from the Columbus Zoo. If that weren’t enough, Dave Nemo and Sirius XM Radio will be broadcasting live from the Expo both days, and Fox Sports Network’s “Motorhead Garage” featuring Sam Memmolo, and Dave Bowman, formerly of Shadetree Mechanic and Two Guys Garage are also scheduled to appear in the TravelCenters of America booth.
Free Concert
Crystal Shawanda, country music singer and songwriter from Nashville, will be performing for Expo attendees on Friday evening. This amazing singer always connects with her audiences and will feature her chart-topping song “You Can Let Go”.
Drivers’ Choice Award
The 2013 CIS Drivers’ Choice Award will recognize the best of the expedited trucking industry’s best – with Expo attendees as the judges. Attendees can vote for their favorite dealer’s truck. Your ballot is also your chance to win one of the two $1000 cash prizes.
