NATSO Truckstop Operator Guest Post
Every year at The NATSO Show, attendees gather at the Great Ideas! for Independent Operators Workshop to connect with their peers to share their best ideas. Attendees bring their next great idea to fruition and help others do the same. This idea sharing shouldn’t happen just once a year. To help extend the idea sharing year-round, we'll periodically share great ideas directly from NATSO members on the blog. This month NATSO member Chris Sanders of London Auto Truck Center offered his great ideas. Read his post of great ideas here. If you'd like to be a great idea contributor, please contact Amy Toner at editor@natso.com.
