Waltenbaugh said he has parking for 60 trucks and would like to see people from multiple sectors of trucking and hauling... The event organizer also wants to draw attention to unscrupulous brokering that goes on in the trucking industry.

A third idea that Waltenbaugh wants to get across is that truckers are people just like everybody else. They are patriotic Americans, they are consumers, and they are registered voters...
