Are there criteria that need to be met to request an event?
Not at this time. As long as you feel it makes good sense to have the truck on hand and it fits into the schedule, we will try to accommodate the request. However, if we are currently attending events on the west coast, it may not be feasible to schedule an event on the east coast. We try to keep the truck in geographical regions of the country and avoid coast to coast drives.
