Trailer Rodeo & CHP Trailer Checkup
2020-11-07 08:45 - 12:00 | Elks Unocal Center, 4040 US 101, Santa Maria, CA, 93455, United States
Mandatory for Trailer Teams

HEET’s annual trailer rodeo will take place on November 7, 2020—LIVE AND IN PERSON!!!

The training will take place at the Elks Unocal Event Center (Rodeo Grounds) in Santa Maria. HEET tried to find a more central location, but was unable to find a suitable venue that would allow us to congregate.

For those not familiar with our trailer rodeo, it is a place to come and practice maneuvering your rig in some tight situations without the worries of holding up traffic. It is a good place to practice and a good place to learn if you are not comfortable driving your rig.

This training will incorporate the social (physical) distancing rule, and masks are required outside of your vehicle.

Most of the training will involve people being naturally distanced, in their trucks. However, please observe the rules when you are out of your vehicle.

The CHP will be there to help us with new rules and regulations, as well as with inspections of our rigs, and training us on what to look for on our own.

This is our FIRST live event in many months! We’re excited! If you come with other members or friends, please remember that your group must stay together throughout the training.

Bring your trailer, but please do not bring any animals.

See you soon!

WHEN: November 7, 2020

TIME: 8:45 am – abt noon

WHERE: 4040 S US Highway 101, Santa Maria
