It is that time again. Time for the Mid America Trucking Show, held in Louisville, KY, this year from today March 21st until Saturday the 23rd.

Although we are not exhibiting and I am not even attending any of the three day event, Soap Warehouse is having a presence through the publications we are advertising in, special offers sent out via Twitter and interacting with those on Facebook that are at the event.

We are in Transportation Topics buyers guide this entire year on their web site at http://www.TTNews.com.

We have also been running ads in Fleet Owner magazine and this month we have a quarter page ad on page 136 that contains a QR code directing scanners with smart phones to view a special offer.

Here is Jim Mele from Fleet Owner on the show room floor.

I hope you take the opportunity to join in and order some Fleet Wash products during the sale time for MATS. Look for the Twitter links that also post to our Facebook to get to the pages with the offers.

 

 

It was another great show this year in Louisville, KY. We again were a sponsor of Big Rig Networks MATS 2012 Sweepstakes.

Our first winner on Friday of 5 gallons of product was Keith Sermon from Louisville, KY who is a driver for Landstar.

Then on Saturday winning 5 gallons of truck wash was Chris Fowler of Jackson, MO.

We enjoyed being able to walk around and visit will all the freight companies at MATS there looking for drivers. We hope to better reach new Owner Operators through the companies they work for instead of exhibiting in a booth and trying to talk to drivers one on one.

MATS truck wash specials will still be available until April 30th, so call us if you would like to try a 5 gallon of one or more of our great truck wash products.

GATS as is it more affectionately known, has come and gone for another year. This past week in Dallas TX, truckers and trucking enthusiasts came to see what was new in the industry, look at cool decked out trucks, and listen to country music singer and song writer Jamey Johnson perform.

GATS East is one of the three top trucking shows held every year in the US. And although Soap Warehouse was not an exhibitor this time, we have been in the past and we continued our 4 year run participating in Big Rig Network's Sweepstakes, with drawings held daily at their booth.

Soap Warehouse gave one lucky winner per day a 5 gallon tight drum of concentrated truck wash. Winners could chose between five different washes: Brown Derby, Big Rig Brite, Blue Lightning, White Lightning or Truck-N-Tuff.

This years winners for the first time were both from TX; Roger Horton of Grandury and Jack Currie of Kennard.

We congratulate them on being our winners and look forward to them using one of our great truck wash chemicals to clean their rigs.

Our next event to exhibit will be in October in Nashville at the Power Washers of North America Convention. But our next Truck Show will not be until next Spring we we will once again be back at the Mid America Trucking Show in Louisville, KY. We will look forward to seeing you there.

 

We spent this past week in Louisville, KY at the Mid America Trucking Show.

 Our booth 62124 in the West Wing at MATS (Mid America Trucking Show)

We had over 1000 attendees stop at our booth during the three day event. We had 6 winners of 5 gallons of our Big Rig Brite truck wash, 18 winners of a water calculator and with our prize wheel gave a way over 800 other smaller prizes including 50 of our very popular "Brown Derby" hats in honor of our #1 selling "Brown Derby" truck wash.

We also participated for the third year in Bricktown Media's, Big Rig Network MATS Sweepstakes, giving away more 5 gallon tight drums of Big Rig Brite truck wash. The winners were Darrell West

  and Matt Jarvis

Show Specials will still be available until the end of April so if you are in need of some great products and have never tried us before you can visit our page of Show Speicals and buy some today.

 

It is almost time for the largest trucking show in the US to be held again in Louisville, KY. This year it will run for three days March 31st to April 2nd at the Kentucky Expo Center.  Mid America Trucking Show web site.

There is scheduled to be over 1000 exhibitors of which Soap Warehouse will be one. We plan on introducing and demonstrating our newest line of products, graffiti cleaners to the trucking industry.

'Blast Off' will be demonstrated once an hour for almost the entire length of the show. This easy to use product is perfect for the individual O/O trucker to have in his rig to clean any painted graffiti tags that might pop up on his trailer while out on the road. Blast Off information video

'Shadow Away' is more for exterior building cleaning of graffiti from off of brick and other porous surfaces that graffiti makers may have tagged or to use when some other cleaner was unable to remove a tag leaving a shadow behind.

Soap Warehouse in Booth 62124 in the West Wing will also be having daily drawings for 'Big Rig Brite' truck wash and will once again have a prize wheel in the booth with prizes of smaller product samples, trucker gifts and our famous 'Brown Derby' hats that so many attendees wanted last year.

See you at the show.

 

I can not believe this is March already!

We have been very busy planing for this year.

We are currently working on designing a new web site that we hope improves our customers enjoyment of our site.

This has been a very cold snowy Winter for many of our customers and as such a slow start to the new year. But with signs of Spring finally peaking through now is the best time to make sure all of your equipment and supplies are ready for the Spring boom.
