Freightliner Vocational Ride and Drive Show – 2014, LA Fairplex Pomona

I would like to thank everyone who took the time to come out to the Los Angeles Freightliner Vocational Ride and Drive event at the Pomona Fairgrounds, on October 16th. This is an event which we hope to make into an annual affair where we showcase our latest vocational Freightliner (and maybe Western Star ) trucks to our local customers.

We had approximately 20 vendors along with their trucks and equipment lined up at the Pomona Fairgrounds from 11AM to 2 PM in the afternoon and CCTA/AADT was one of the participants. This gave everybody a couple of hours to review the equipment, have a demonstration of what each truck or body option did, and perhaps even go for a ride or take a truck for a test drive.

Then everyone sat down for a great lunch followed by a brief history of Freightliner and our dealership, before taking one last look, or for some, one last ride in the truck of their choosing and heading home.

Everyone that I spoke to felt the event was a success and that they enjoyed meeting the customers that attended as well as their fellow vendors.

We would like to see this event become an annual affair so if you have any suggestions please forward them to me at: cburlew@lafreightliner.com and we will look at incorporating them into the next event.

Once again I thank everyone that took time out of their day to attend and I hope you found the event worth your time if the future.
