Show Time!<br />
training How to make the most of Canada’s biggest truck show.<br />
By Today’s <strong>Trucking</strong> Staff<br />
If the dates April 20 to 22 are not<br />
already blocked off on your daytimer,<br />
grab your highlighter and do so now<br />
because those are the dates for Truck<br />
World 2006, Canada’s biggest trucking<br />
industry trade show at the <strong>In</strong>ternational<br />
Centre in Mississauga, Ont.<br />
Truck World is produced by Newcom<br />
Business Media, the same company that<br />
publishes this magazine as well as<br />
highwaySTAR, Transport Routier, Truck &<br />
Trailer, Truck & Trailer West and—last but<br />
definitely not least—the trucking-industry<br />
resource site Todays<strong>Trucking</strong>.com.<br />
According to Truck World show manager<br />
Elizabeth McCullough, the show is a<br />
natural extension of what Newcom does<br />
best and that is provide new and useful<br />
information in easy-to-digest ways so that<br />
you can make more money and help your<br />
company operate more efficiently.<br />
To that end, McCullough has expanded<br />
this year’s Truck World program well<br />
beyond the trade show itself, so regardless<br />
of what end of the business you’re interested<br />
in, there’ll be something for you.<br />
Truck World opens Thursday morning<br />
and runs until Saturday. And on the last<br />
day, much of the emphasis will be on the<br />
owner-operator, so McCullough advises<br />
fleet owners and managers to spread the<br />
word among their o-o’s that these seminars<br />
are available and are free with admission<br />
to the show.<br />
Here’s a list of the offerings:<br />
ADVANCED TRUCK<br />
TIRE KNOWLEDGE<br />
For equipment that has no moving parts,<br />
tires sure can get complicated. And a badly<br />
managed tire program can be huge drain<br />
on your budget. Representing Michelin<br />
North America (Canada), Ralph Beaveridge<br />
will lead a discussion on maximizing casing<br />
value, reducing tire costs, and improving<br />
on-road performance.<br />
Date: Thursday, April 20<br />
