This won't be a picnic. It WILL be educational. ALL managers, Owners and Owner Operators should attend.

You will be glad you did!

yes bob you took the words right out of my mouth.           every one go's to the world of concrete'that might be a good time to do this!

EVERYONE doesn't go to the WOC. The same people go and think it is everyone. Lost Wages,NV is too far west for me. I am not interested  in going. I think that the WOC probably needs to be there, it is a big show and few venues can support it. But unless someone makes me go; I will stay home.

As far as the picnic goes.....

make a big X on a map and you get pretty close to Kansas City as a center. (about) And the closer to the center, the fewer average miles per attendee. That is the democratic way to pick a spot. IMHO

But that is not what the original post was about ;~)
