The Great American Trucking Show opened at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas last Thursday, Aug. 27, and closed Saturday, Aug. 29.
In between, thousands of truck drivers and fans of trucking toured the hundreds of exhibits, checked out the 80-plus custom trucks, heard a lot of good music, got some good wellness tips and had the opportunity to look for a new job.
And, mark your calendars for next year’s GATS: Aug. 25-27, 2016.
See who was there.
