The attendees of the 2013 NTEA Work Truck Show were a hardy group, not letting a small snowstorm get in their way of learning and getting a chance for a hands-on look at new product.

With more than 500,000 sq.-ft. of vocational trucks and equipment, more than 60 educational sessions, and more than 550 exhibitors, the 2013 show boasted a near record attendance of 10,351 people, according to NTEA.

Take a look at some of the highlights captured by Work Truck magazine at this year’s show, held March 5-7 in Indianapolis.
