Trade Show

Posted on Nov 16, 2005 - 1:43pm by Wayne in Uncategorized

Living in Vegas, tradeshows help in getting us back home. This one we loaded in Chicago for some kind of snack or vending show. We were one of five trucks for the Pepsi booth. This is a portable dock a forklift is used to push it up against the truck then drive back and forth unloading.

The inside already mostly unloaded. Ramps are tied up high and blocks for the trailer wheels on the left and a small deck in the back. Driving around inside a building is always fun!

Update

We pick up 2 half trailer loads tomorrow in Chicago. Half bound for Vegas, the other half for Northern California. Then we need to get to Denver, deliver in Vegas for a trade show, hang out in Vegas for a few days then back to Denver.

Parked Again

This is NOT Michigan! So much for working. A couple of possibilities either didn't pay very much or got rescheduled, one needed a team going to Houston. Which was only 1300 miles. Some "team" loads aren't really teams. I beat a team to Detroit that they're still looking

Working In Florida

Here we are in Florida again. While Cindy flew to Minnesota to take care of some business and see her family I brought part of a large trade show booth to Orlando. Freight has slowed down a little and since the customer wants to pay for a motel room while

Pictures from Mid America Truck Show

Here are my pictures from my trip to the 2008 Mid American Truck Show in Louisville, KY. There was so much stuff and so many trucks, this doesn't even come close to capturing what the show was like. Most of them are from my little corner of the show. Just
