What's New for Expedite Expo 2016?
Each year, Expedite Expo offers something new. This year is no exception.
The Expo will be held July 15-16 at the Lexington Center in Lexington, Ky.
Here's a look at some of what's new for this year's Expo:
1. All-American Working Truck Show
The National Association of Show Trucks is developing a brand-new working truck show for Expedite Expo. NAST members who show their truck at a NAST-sponsored event accumulate points for winning in different categories such as lights, murals, engines, and paint. Those with the highest scores from the individual shows are then invited to compete at The Mid-America Truck Show in Louisville, Kentucky.
NAST trucks are generally working show trucks that are usually a few years old. The vast majority of NAST members will be picking up a load the day after the show and go back to business as usual.
The All-American Working Truck show will be July 15-16. Like the Expo, the Working Truck show is free to view. We do recommend you register in advance to come inside to see the Expo so that you do not have to wait in line.?
