If you’re a trucker, or at all involved in the transportation industry, then the 46^th Annual Mid West Truck Show is calling out for your attendance. Held February 6-7 of next year, the conference will bring truckers together with the latest in equipment and ideas to create industry-wide improvement.

Sponsored by the Mid West Trucker Association, a specialty lobby group that speaks for truckers in Washington in addition to informing truckers about new federal rules and regulations. At their conference, truckers have a chance to see the future, as well as learn tricks of the trade and keep up with current laws and regulations involving trucking.

This year, the conference will take place in Peoria, Illinois and will feature 170 exhibits and thousands of attendees. In fact, the last truck show was attended by over 7,000. Called the biggest little truck show in the country, the Midwest Truck Show and conference will allow truckers to see some of the newest models of trucks available for sale. Whether you’re in the market to buy, or just like to gaze, checking out the free truck show is fun for any trucker and his or her family. In fact, last year’s truck beauty contest promoted the most impressive of these models.

 And if you’d rather look at accessories and chat with organizations, the Mid West Truck Show can be a great hang out for you as well. If you’re looking for fuel additives or policy information about the trucking industry, the exhibits at the conference will cater to almost al truckers.

Although the conference schedule for the 2009 event has not yet been determined, truckers can learn more about the event by visiting the Mid West Trucker Association website. There, truckers can watch a video of last year’s convention, as well as download the necessary forms to be a part of this year’s conference.  And while it’s difficult to change your schedule when you’re on the road, truckers should get to Peoria on the 6^th and 7^th of 2009, and park their big rigs in order to support the transportation industry and learn more about its policy and gizmos and gadgets.
