The Work Truck Show, which will take place from March 15-17 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, is expected to draw over 500 exhibitors from across the country. Sponsored by the NTEA—the National Truck Equipment Association—the show gives fluid power professionals the opportunity to make connections with workers throughout the truck industry’s supply chain.
For those interested in expanding their knowledge base, educational sessions, along with the Green Truck Summit, actually begin March 14. Both the Green Truck Summit and the Work Truck Show will hold sessions; one key theme at the Green Truck Summit involves alternative fuels and systems for cleaner transmissions.
Other educational categories include Workforce development, risk mitigations, truck specifications and design, and OEM chassis updates, among others. Sessions can count toward educational criteria required by the NTEA’s Member Verification Program (MVP) for qualified companies.
Registration commences at noon on March 13, and the exhibit hall opens on March 15 at 10:00 a.m. Over the following two days, attendees can interact with thousands of industry professionals, set up meetings with current suppliers or customers, find solutions to resolve technical issues, and talk with industry peers at special events and receptions.
Special events will include a Ride-and-Drive, which occurs on Wednesday and Thursday from noon until 4:30, where one can test-drive or ride in some of latest trucks to hit the market. Also on Thursday will be a special session taught by young people in the industry, aimed at discussing methods to recruit and keep millennials in the work truck industry.
