FARMINGTON HILLS, MI - The NTEA will hold The Work Truck Show, North America's largest work truck event, in Indianapolis, March 6-8, 2012, at the Indiana Convention Center.

The announcement follows the record-setting Work Truck Show held in Indianapolis in March 2011.
"The Work Truck Show 2011 was our largest and most well-attended event to date," says Frank Livas, NTEA 2012 convention chairman and senior vice president of Brake & Clutch, Inc. (Salem, MA). "We're looking forward to building on that success in Indianapolis in 2012 and beyond."
