TRUCKING’S TECHNOLOGY MARKETPLACE That’s what TMC’s 2014 Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition delivers. From brakes to bearings, from scanners to software, the Technology & Maintenance Council’s Study Groups and Task Forces cover it all. This is the technical marketplace for the trucking industry and you’re invited to participate.

Music City Center Nashville,Tennessee Meeting Dates: March 10-13, 2014 Exhibition Dates: March 10-12, 2014 LINKING BUSINESS CHALLENGES WITH TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS TMC is dedicated to working cooperatively toward industry best practices, and the results are evident in recent accomplishments, including the development of recommended maintenance and engineering practices in the areas of: • Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) • Tire and Wheel Complaint, Cause and Corrections • Corrosion Control • Fleet/Service Provider Communications • Electronic Onboard Recorder Performance Guidelines As an exhibitor in 2014, your company shares in a 58-year heritage that has become TMC’s Transportation Technology Exhibition. From a small equipment forum for the trucking industry in the 1950’s, TMC has grown to become the premier technical exhibition for new trucking-related products and services. This is a must-attend show at which smart suppliers access the industry’s leading equipment purchasers! TMC looks forward to you joining us at trucking’s complete technology trade show this March in Nashville, Tennessee. See you there!

“My perspective from my position here at JOST is that the TMC’s annual meeting and technology exhibition is the most important week of our year and that is how we have always treated it. As a member since 1989 the value of the relationships that I have made and enjoyed by taking an active role rather than simply attending as an exhibitor has brought back rewards far beyond the investment that JOST has put forth. Where else could you possibly touch decision makers from most every major North American fleet with product demonstrations, business discussions and some social interaction all in a week’s time? I encourage you and the TMC to continue to explore innovative trade show activities.”

Advertising opportunities are described in detail on pages 11-12.

Monday’s Grand Opening and Reception, Tuesday’s Walk-Around Luncheon and evening reception, and Wednesday’s final viewing period will bring the attendees to the exhibit hall each day of the show.

TMC CONTINUES FOCUS ON TRAILERS

TMC will once again spotlight trailers and aerodynamic devices in 2014! The Exhibition floor plan contains several booth spaces designed for manufacturers of trailers and/or aerodynamic devices. Each space is 20’x70’, with 20’ of empty space on either side for better viewing. These booths will only be available for manufacturers of trailers and aerodynamic devices, and are offered at a special trailer booth price.

INDUSTRY’S BEST DRAYAGE RATES

On behalf of the supplier community, TMC has secured a competitive (showsite) drayage rate with Freeman Decorating Company, the general service contractor for TMC’s 2014 exhibit. We’ve also secured competitive pricing on other exhibit-related services, such as show labor and furnishings to help you keep costs down.

EXHIBITOR SERVICES MANUAL TMC, FREEMAN DECORATING COMPANY and the GAYLORD CONFERENCE CENTER have joined forces to prepare the Exhibitor Services Manual (ESM) for each

As in the past, the ESM will be accessible to all exhibitors online. EXHIBITOR BADGE POLICIES 1. Admission to the exhibit area is by badge only. Security personnel will be on duty at all entrances. NOTE: Exhibitor badges will not admit your personnel to Council meetings, business sessions, or food and social functions outside of the Exhibit Area. 2. Exhibitor badges are not needed to admit your personnel to the exhibit area for booth set-up/tear-down. 3. If you require more than your allotted complimentary exhibitor badges, there will be a charge of $125 for each additional badge. Badge request forms will be sent with the Exhibitor Manuals after booth assignment. Tuesday’s “Walk-around Luncheon” tickets will be provided with each exhibitor badge. Beverages will be available for purchase at all evening receptions. 4. You do not need to purchase exhibitor badges for personnel who are fully registered for the meeting.

PRODUCT DISPLAYS OUTSIDE EXHIBITION AREAS Product displays in hotel or convention center parking lots or within a member’s or member company’s rented hotel room are prohibited during the general meeting period. Violation of this policy will subject the member and/ or company to action by TMC’s Board of Directors. Violation of said policy may be cause for cancellation of membership and exhibition privileges. HOSPITALITY SUITES In order not to diminish attendance at exhibit or scheduled business functions of TMC General Meetings, TMC prohibits hospitality suites, rental of meeting hotel space, use of bartenders, musicians, or hotel staff for business/entertainment functions at the host hotel(s) or sponsorships, or to otherwise engage in organized offsite activity/entertainment in or out of the hotel/convention center at any time during the general meeting and exhibit period.

Such activities are a violation of TMC regulations and said company/ individual’s membership, meeting attendance and/or exhibition privileges are subject to cancellation. The general meeting period is defined as the first day of the General Meeting through General Meeting adjournment each day as defined in the meeting program. Members may invite friends to their rooms or suites for refreshments or dinner during periods when no regular TMC function is scheduled, providing the above policy is not abused. Formal or printed invitations for entertainment/ business sessions at the contracted hotels held during the general meeting period are prohibited.

Special events may be approved at the discretion of TMC’s Board of Directors. REGULATIONS ON COUNTERFEITING An exhibitor may not show any counterfeit products, or another manufacturer’s products which have been purchased or taken from a distributor or another manufacturer, or any products which are deemed by TMC Show Management at its sole discretion to be deceptively or illegally marketed. Exhibitors who display products on the show floor or offer products in their catalogues displayed at TMC’s exhibition that are found to violate a patent or trademark will face sanctions by TMC Show Management. Sanctions are up to the Show Manager and may include closing the booth, together with a ban from the show and loss of seniority privileges and other sanctions as deemed appropriate by TMC how Management.

TMC’S OFFICIAL DECORATOR

TMC has appointed The Freeman Companies, as the official decorating company for TMC’s 2014 Annual Meeting and Transportation Technology Exhibition. “There is no other meeting where a fleet manager can find so many answers to their questions and opportunities to network with peers who face the same challenges or already have a solution to an issue that they are willing to share. Along with the knowledge you gain from other fleet managers, there is no other meeting that I know of that both manufacturers and vendors are represented by not only senior sales staff, but also the engineers that helped design and test these products they represent. I have gained a wealth of knowledge from the other members of this organization and over the years acquired a lot of life long friends.”

– David Foster, Vice President of Maintenance, Southeastern Freight Lines

TMC’s 2014 Transportation Technology Exhibition! Reserve Your Booth Space Online at: http://www.trucking.org/tmc_booth_app.aspx

TMC’s Transportation & Technology Exhibition was a fantastic event for TireStamp. Traffic into our booth was almost constant throughout the exhibition hours and at times the booth overflowed with fleets really interested in our products. We were able to meet an incredible number of Maintenance Managers, our buyers, from both large and small companies face-to-face to explain and show them the latest in TPMS which has saved us time and money in sales travel and effort. It was truly an amazing event for TireStamp and one we will continue to attend in the foreseeable future.

– Peggy J. Fisher, President TireStamp Inc.
