Margaret W / Coatesville PennsylvaniaAt the 2010 MATS we spoke to the owner of the company that makes the steering pumps in our trucks the owner of the company that makes the LED light panels we're going to purchase and the engineers who design the airsprings we're going to be putting on an axle to which we are making some special modifications. We value the opportunity each year to meet with the people who design work with repair and/or sell the components on our trucks and trailers we use everyday so that we can learn what they've been doing and how their knowledge can help our business.
