IdleAire and Arrow Trucking Co. Announce GATS Press Conference
Just one year since the announcement of a terminal agreement between Oklahoma-based Arrow Trucking Company and IdleAire Technologies, the two companies join forces in an address scheduled for Thursday at the Great American Trucking Show in Dallas, Texas.
Mike Crabtree, President and CEO and Lynn Youngs, Executive Vice President, both of IdleAire will join Doug Pielsticker, President and CEO of Arrow Trucking at 1:45 pm, Thursday, August 24, in Meeting Room D-168.
In addition to the special joint announcement, IdleAire will also provide further details on the Fleet Reservation System and a status update of its new site construction schedule.
IdleAire is also pleased to announce the continued support of country music star Trace Adkins. The multi-platinum star, who performs more than 200 concerts across the country each year, serves as a spokesman and advocate to communicate the benefits of IdleAire to the backbone of this nation’s economy – the long-haul truck drivers.
Trace Adkins will be at the IdleAire booth (22129) on Thursday
from 2-4pm, signing autographs and accepting entries for the
Flyaway Contest in which one lucky winner will receive a trip to
see him in concert. At 4:00 pm, Trace will be featured on SIRIUS
Road Dog Trucking live from the show floor. Thursday night, in a
VIP session at Gilley’s, guests will hear the artist perform
and have the opportunity for photographs and autographs.
