Mid-America Trucking Show 2011

From March 31 - April 2, 2011, National Biodiesel Board (NBB) staff members Tom Verry and Kaleb Little attended the 2011 Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, KY.

The annual event for the heavy-duty trucking industry provides a means for good interaction between trucking professionals and industry representatives.

According to Tom Verry, NBB's Director of Outreach and Development, "The Mid-America Truck Show is always a great opportunity to promote biodiesel to common truck drivers and trucking companies. The most popular question we get is "Where do you get it?"

NBB thanks Joel Thorsrud (USB and ND farmer), and George Martin, Debbie Ellis, and Chad Thurn (Kentucky Soybean) for their assistance.

The first Mid-America Trucking Show was held in 1972.

Kentucky Soybean Board member Chad Thorn joined NBB and Kentucky Soybean staff members to talk about biodiesel at the MATS in Louisville, KY.		Truckshow attendees fill out a biodiesel survey at the NBB booth during the 2011 MATS in Louisville.

At the Great West Truck Show in Las Vegas, we asked these truckers what they thought about biodiesel. Click on the image to see the video:
