A Working Convention ...

This will be a working convention between our nation's truck drivers, those involved with trucking, and for all who wish to work together towards making a positive impact.  Truckers will have the perfect opportunity to actively participate by sharing your thoughts, concerns, ideas and solutions to what you see as the most pressing issues facing today's American driver.



And a key benefit from this gathering is that everyone can then take what we have all shared, and through the tools of social media, your voices can and will be heard - everywhere.

This is the first of its kind event - a full day and evening from 8 AM - midnight is scheduled for everyone to meet and gather together in a common interest: open panel discussions, debates, question and answer sessions, strategizing, and learning from industry leaders and experts.

Allen and Donna Smith

Says Allen Smith of Truth About Trucking and AskTheTrucker.com, who together with his wife Donna, have put this major event together,  "As far as I can remember, there has never been an event specifically for truck drivers and those supporting them to gather, unite, have fun, and BE HEARD!  Yes, there are truck shows (and they're fun) and trucking expos (which I've presented at myself), but NEVER a full day and evening of organized speakers addressing all your concerns combined with extensive buffets, awards, cash give aways, and live  entertainment!  NEVER!  In other words, Donna and I are putting on an event that people have many times spoken about, and even wished for, but has never happened."

All Of This For Only $89.00 Per Person
