The NATSO Show 2018

Trucking Economy 2.0: Keynote and Breakfast on the Show Floor (Room Center Stage, Delta Ballroom)

Do you ever wish you could sit down one-on-one with Bob Costello, chief economist and senior vice president at the American Trucking Associations, to dig a little deeper into a statistic? If so, plan to join Trucking Economy 2.0 where a panel of truckstop operators will ask Costello the industry's burning questions. Led by Tiffany Wlazlowski Neuman, vice president, public affairs at NATSO and Sean Kilcar, editor in chief of Fleet Owner, the panel will bring NATSO members up to speed on the critical economic factors that will influence the trucking and truckstop industries throughout the coming year. Numbers without an analytical framework are often white noise. Through the panel's interaction on stage, learn what is uniquely important to truckstops in the numbers and how to translate the data into a roadmap for strategic decisions. Confirmed panelists include Jim Hays, owner of Dodge City Petro in Hanceville, Ala., Chad Stanford, vice president of real estate for QuikTrip and Elizabeth Warring, president and CEO of Busy Bee in Madison, Fla.
