What if your next big fleet solution, supplier connection, or operational breakthrough was waiting at one table in Scottsdale? That’s exactly what keeps fleet managers coming back to Work Truck Exchange (WTX) year after year.

WTX isn’t built around crowded expo halls, endless walking, or collecting business cards you’ll never look at again. It’s designed to make every conversation count through curated meetings, intentional networking, and real discussions with the people shaping the future of fleet.

  • Pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings with supplier hosts tailored to your fleet needs
  • Interactive roundtable discussions with industry peers

Our annual trivia luncheon returns with prizes and a little friendly competition, and LEGEND is bringing back the attendee-favorite axe-throwing van because sometimes the best stress reliever is hurling an axe in a van with your closest fleet friends.

Fleet managers attending will also connect directly with companies you want to connect with, including:

  • Adrian
  • Blue Bird Body Company
  • Fleetworthy Solutions
  • Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co
  • Kingbee Vans
  • Legend Fleet
  • Nissan North America Inc

And this is just the start. We’re still reviewing additional supplier host applications, with more companies expected to join the lineup. If your company wants to be part of the conversations happening at WTX, now is the time to reach out.

So, Why Should YOU Apply?

WTX is intentionally built around quality over quantity, creating a more focused environment where every meeting and conversation is designed to deliver value long after the event ends.
