As one truck builder says, ’tis the season for the annual tool meetings. Last week, Mac Tools held their annual Tool Fair in Orlando, FL. Since we are all about Tool Trucks (and yes, we think the “T”s in Tool Trucks should always be capitalized), we pay attention to the trucks that were there. Builders brought in three new trucks for display: Chevy C5500 20′, Freightliner MT55 22′ step van, and a GM C7500 Cab Chassis.
This week, the Matco Tools Expo is in Cancun, Mexico; it’s 80+ degrees and humid – what’s that like? We haven’t heard if a truck was brought down. In just a few weeks, Cornwell Tools will “Rally” in San Antonio, and later in the year, Snap-on will hold it’s annual Dealer Meeting. ISN has it’s annual trade show in June. These get-togethers are designed to show off new tools, meet and greet, and get everybody pumped up for the new year. Hope everybody has a fun, productive time – wish I was there! Tom
