Yes, you can win big cash at the Expedite Expo Trucking Show and Job Fair, which returns for another stay in Wilmington.  Ohio's largest trucking show and North America's only expedited trucking event is on the way and along with expedited carrier recruiters, truck dealers and vendors, seminars and workshops, giveaways and live entertainment, two lucky attendees will walk away one thousand dollars richer!  How, you ask? 

Simply fill out a ballot for the CIS Drivers’ Choice Awards.  Vote for your favorite truck displayed by one of the expedited truck exhibitors and your ballot is you entry.  Nothing to buy, just vote and you're entered!  Simple, huh?

At the end of each day of the Expo, a drawing will be held and the cash prizes will be awarded.  For rules of the contest, just visit www.ExpediteExpo.com .

If big money isn't incentive enough to attend the Expo, how about a live concert on Friday evening? This year's Expo is proud to present Crystal Shawanda at Party on the Patio from 10:00 pm – 12:00 midnight.  Crystal comes to us from Canada; in 2009 she was named by Canadian Country Music Assoc. Female Artist of the Year, and had toured with Brad Paisley, Dierks Bently and Reba McEntire.  Saturday Indiana natives Pure Grain will perform at 11:00 am in the Expo Hall.
We’ve also got Sam Memmolo and Dave Bowman of ESPN and FSN's “Motorhead Garage”, pioneers in automotive how-to.  Get their autographs in the TA booth #235 on Friday 2:30pm – 4:00pm and Saturday from 10:00am – 1:00pm.

If you like antique trucks, we've got those too!  The Old Time Trucks organization will be displaying a collection their member's trucks from yesteryear.  See how it all started at the Antique Truck Pavilion.

If you listen to trucking radio, then Dave Nemo needs no introduction.  For over forty years, this radio broadcasting legend has been a best friend to the commercial driver and the Expo is proud indeed to have his live reports and interviews from the show.  Stop by Dave's booth and say hi.
