"STORIES"

JOPLIN, MO....4 State Trucks and Chrome Shop Mafia was THE place to be on October 9th & 10th!  Bryan Martin reports "everyone in attendance was relaxed, having a good time, all smiles and had a spring in their step as Joplin was 'right where they wanted to be'!"  The Guilty By Association Truck Show & Customer Expo had 97 trucks onsite and 72 registered in the show.  There were some fabulous trucks out in the parking lot!  12 trucks were selected and photographed for the 2010 CSM/4 State Trucks calendar.

The excitement was high and the events nonstop during the weekend.  Freightliner had their new 2010 Coronado on display and gave away 4 NASCAR tickets with pit passes.  They also gave away 4 Petty Driving Experiences.  Matt Coleman and The Road Hammers performed at 2 kickin' concerts, much to the crowd's delight.  Alex Debogorski from the popular TV series, "Ice Road Truckers" greeted fans and signed autographs.  Red, Hot & Blue served up delicious food, including a great BBQ.  Hundreds and hundreds of show attendees enjoyed a tour of the 4 State Trucks compound, took advantage of some great deals in the store and shared trucking stories at a bonfire onsite on Saturday evening.

The CSM Crew is already planning next year's show, which will be held on October 1-2, 2010.
