## Resource

Paul Marhoefer isn’t about to let a little setback keep him from attending the Mid-America Trucking Show this year – and that’s because he’s not just attending. The musician/trucker known as Long Haul Paul will be living out a longtime dream, performing on trucking’s biggest stage in Louisville, despite being a bit hobbled. As he tells us, he’s got four bangers lined up, one of which will honor a MATS Wall of Fame 2026 honoree, “The Trucking Troubadour,” Bill Weaver. Plus, OOIDA has big plans for this weekend’s show – and a new booth location. Jordan Sedgwick and Trevor Williams have the details on what’s in store.
