  • Keep Truckin
  • Engineered with a Purpose

The education seminars provide practical instruction on best business practices to help you succeed in your job as you keep moving down the highways of America. 

The Owner-Operator Drivers Association will be launching a new training series to help drivers succeed. The class is free to the public, and you do not have to be a part of the Owner-Operator Drivers Association to attend.

Healthy drivers are essential to keep America moving. The Great American Truck show will provide drivers health check-ups from a variety of providers. 

Some of the health screenings include:

  • Kidney Screening from the National Kidney Foundation

  • Chiropractic Services by Advanced HouseCall Chiropractic

These are just a few of the services that will be available. Do not miss out on the free health services. 

Life-Changing Opportunities

An essential part of the show is found in the Jobs Pavilion. There are going to be representatives from over 100 fleets looking for drivers like you. You can have a face to face discussion about programs, benefits, and progressing in your career. This is a great opportunity because you can ask questions and gain insight regarding jobs and fleets that you would not usually be able to ask in an online application.

Even if you are not currently looking to change jobs. Do not miss the Jobs Pavilion because you never know when you might want to join a new fleet and take advantage of a unique career opportunity. This is the perfect time to find a job now or network for the future.
