  • At this time, registration is open for the National Convention & Truck Show in Springfield, IL, on May 28-30.
  • We will do everything we can to keep National Convention & Truck Show attendees and exhibitors informed and aware of any change of plans in regards to COVID-19.
  • We have extended Early Bird pricing for the ATHS National Convention & Truck Show until May 1, 2020.
  • The Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) has been canceled.
  • The Mack Museum in Allentown, PA has closed and canceled our Town Hall meeting on April 18.
  • Physical donations to the Zoe James Memorial Library will not be accepted, until further notice.
