What's the truck parking situation like? How did you get there from where you parked? Were you able to park within walking distance?

The only other person I know who went to one was @Tim but he went there in his pickup.

 

[ironpony]

And wait... there's still more!

And if you order in the next 15 minutes, we'll even throw in free shipping!

So like, it's semi-crowded.

If you're going to stay it pays to get here early in the week. There's a bazillion truckers here. The parking is supervised so if the lots are full, you wait in the street until a spot opens. Then a guide car takes you back. Shuttle busses run from the outlying lots to the venue on a regular basis. A lot of folks are renting cars too.

We haven't had any trouble booking an Uber to get to and from downtown for dinner in the evening. Plenty of on-site entertainment too.

The Uber tent just happens to be close to where some of the guys are parked. There is plenty of other entertainment sponsored by other outfits too.

Totally... it's the biggest of the truck shows. You can't walk the entire display floor in one day. Lots of "show discounts" on stuff too.

You mean this guy?





He kinda looks angry. Like he's in a bad mood because the ice cream machine at the buffet was out of order.

That would be the long line at the ice cream vendor.

He could probably fix that with a few visits to the beer line.
