"I believe this to be the best truck show in North America, bar none. Leading edge technology, up to the minute information and products. 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."

"MATS is my "one stop shop" for anything regarding the trucking industry. I can do market research, find new products, and talk with other industry leaders to better my business. It would take months to gather the info I get out of 3 days at MATS. Thanks MATS!!"

"This 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."

"MATS has everything! With all the new regulations, technologies and equipment becoming available, MATS is the ONLY place to see and experience it all. I have attended for over 20 years and find it exciting and new every time. Both new and old friends are all there. It is the place to go if you want to see what's available in the industry today and tomorrow."
