Mid America Truck Show
Wow.
The Mid America Truck Show was a blast. All of the folks in Louisville were awesome and the convention center was first rate. This is the only convention center that I've seen with an amusement park in the parking lot. That's a huge complex!
Our product launch went better than expected. Thanks to all who stopped past the Merritt Equipment booth to look at our new fender lines. The feedback was positive and we learned a few things that need to be fixed as well.
Some of the things we learned: the severe-duty fenders are are in great demand by a lot of you guys who fight with gravel roads or carry uneven loads, very few people liked the brilliant orange paint over a textured surface (my idea), and our Guardian fenders rival the best line of decorative fenders that are out there. We have some work to do - getting our brand name out on the streets, but there was a lot of buzz in Louisville, so hopefully y'all are talking about our products with your friends.
For now, our engineering team is hunkered down and putting the CAD computer through its paces and the tooling department will work its magic. We will be filling the warehouses with some cool truck fenders in a few weeks. If you want to find a dealer close to you, go to www.merrittequipment.com.
