Geoff B2B LTD
Geoff Byford / Managing Director
format_quoteThis is the fourth year out of five that I have travelled from the United Kingdom to Louisville for MATS. The show is simply one of the best in the world and in my eyes not to be missed. Great selection of exhibitors and show trucks and a great atmosphere. I usually meet up with fellow European Truckers who, like myself, love MATS. I will definitely be back in 2014. Thanks again for another great show..

An absolute must attend if you are serious about commercial driving as a career and not just a job. Anything and everything related to the industry in one large driver friendly atmosphere.
