(June 14, 2002) – The 2001 Great American Trucking Show (GATS) received a prestigious ranking among the 200 largest trade shows in this year's edition of the Tradeshow Week 200. GATS is a strategic part of Randall Publishing's trucking media group, the nation's leading trucking information provider. "It is indeed an honor to be granted this award when there are so many tradeshows out there today," Mike Reilly, president and CEO of Randall Publishing Company said. "We plan on expanding GATS to be the convention for the trucking professional." In 2001, 35,000 industry professionals representing all 50 states and 30 countries attended the show, making GATS the second largest attended trucking show in the industry. GATS was also selected from a large number of applicants to participate in the U.S. Department of Commerce's International Buyer Program. Only 28 tradeshows in the United States were selected, and GATS is the only truck show in the group. GATS gives exhibitors and attendees from around the country a chance to see the newest and most innovative products and technology in the trucking industry. As part of making GATS the convention for the trucking professional, for the first time this year the show will include a Fleet Executive Conference and two Focus on the Family seminars entitled "Strengthening Your Family for the Long Haul." The show also offers a variety of free seminars, special events, free giveaways and concerts. The 2002 GATS show will be held Sept. 6-8 in Dallas at the Dallas Convention Center.
