ORIZABA, VER. – The expectations of the organizers were not even close to achieving the results obtained with the first edition of the MT Golfo-Centro-Orizaba , where for two days the stands, the sponsor exhibition area and the stop where the transport companies were installed, were maintained with a constant flow of visitors.
The cheers and harangues in favor of the operators, the companies and even the directors who participated in the knockout hit did not stop, despite the fact that the sun was beating down during the weekend.
The 27 companies participating in the categories of Double articulated (full), Sleeper Cab and Cab Over motivated the participation of nearly 90 operators, and as a particular topic, but in accordance with the characteristics of the region, in the MT Golfo-Centro-Orizaba the most popular category was the full one , this configuration being the predominant one in the region.
“Operators, remember that this was for you, for your families, for all those who accompanied you, for the people who are in the offices and who make sure that you are working. You came here to demonstrate your skills, but above all, you came to socialize and that is the fundamental part of the event,” said Francisco Cessa, vice president of the Association of Cargo Transporters of the Central Zone of the State of Veracruz (Atccevac) , who with this speech raised the applause of all the attendees.
Based on the versions shared by the members of Atccevac and the National Chamber of Cargo Transportation (Canacar) Córdoba-Orizaba region , during his participation in the opening ceremony of the event, the mayor of Orizaba, Juan Manuel Diez Francos, expressed his interest in maintaining the edition of the MT Golfo-Centro-Orizaba in the region.
José Carlos Gilibert, Canacar delegate in the Córdoba-Orizaba region, acknowledged the contribution of the sponsors, as well as the Posdata MX team, organizer of the event, which allowed all attendees to have a pleasant first contact with this event.
