IMTA SHOW TRAILERPromoting Iowa’s Trucking Industry

WHOWEARE

Established in 1942, the Iowa Motor Truck Association has been the eyes, the ears, and the leading advocate for the trucking industry since that time. With members throughout the state, and in almost every county, IMTA takes great pride in its ability to serve the trucking industry and the many men and women who proudly work in this industry.

As one of the largest employers in Iowa (1-in-13 people get a paycheck from the trucking industry) we are proud of the role we play in not only employing a tremendous amount of people but also providing these Iowans with very good paychecks ($4.3 billion in total annual wages) that further infuses the states’ economy in a positive manner.

With almost 700 member companies, the Iowa Motor Truck Association is proud of the work it does on behalf of Iowa’s trucking industry and is guided daily by our simple mission statement --- to promote the success of trucking in Iowa.

When the Association was formed in 1942, advocacy was the top priority and that remains our top priority yet today. While a great deal of our advocacy effort is targeted at regulators and legislators, another important aspect of our advocacy effort is tied to our ongoing goal to raise awareness and appreciation of the industry and the important role we play in the lives of every Iowan. Telling our story of trucking is vitally important in everything we do.

Trucks are everywhere. Over 70% of all Iowa communities depend 100% on trucks for the delivery of the product they need daily. Every demographic is impacted by the trucking industry. The best way we can tell our story is with a big truck. People are interested, intrigued and curious about big trucks. People are drawn and attracted to 18-wheelers. So many years ago we purchased our first show trailer and saw firsthand how effective it was to educate and inform the motoring public with a big truck.

HOW WE TELL OUR STORY

WHAT WE DO

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Parades are popular for members to showcase theIMTA Show Trailer.

The IMTA Show Trailer is a hands-on experience for the Share the Road with Trucks program at high schools throughout Iowa.

During the annual Truck Driving Championships at Prairie Meadows, the IMTA Show Trailer serves as the main backdrop of the event.

DRIVER SIMULATOR

Since the early 1990s, IMTA has had a show trailer. IMTA leaders felt that something visible and eye-catching was needed to help elevate the appreciation and understanding of the industry. And what better way to do that than with a truck!

The first show trailer was used extensively by the members and traveled throughout the state. However, over time, the show trailer started to show its age and in 2016, a new “used” trailer was purchased and a plan was developed to convert the trailer into a new show trailer for IMTA.

The first phase was the exterior and in September of 2017 the new IMTA show trailer exterior was unveiled at IMTA’s 75th Anniversary Gala. By doing the exterior first, this also allowed IMTA to use the show trailer at various events throughout the state while we proceeded into Phase 2.

Phase 2, which kicked off in January of 2018, focuses on the interior of the show trailer. After doing extensive research and consulting with image professionals within the industry as well as various demographics of the IMTA membership, it was determined that a driving simulator, interactive displays and videos needed to be an integral part of the interior design.

While these items are recognized as being highly effective in any educational display, and also appeals to a wide range of ages, they are also very expensive. Just like the people we serve when delivering products, education has no age boundaries so we believe our audience can span from toddlers to senior citizens.
