Show me that at NPTC

April 29, 2016
How about some interesting tech like electronic muscle stimulation therapy or an all-new app on the way to help install graphics across your fleet, or getting to test out an anti-fatigued driving system well before you've got your license? All that was at NPTC this week.

How about some interesting tech like electronic muscle stimulation therapy or an all-new app on the way to help install graphics across your fleet, or getting to test out an anti-fatigued driving system well before you've got your license?

You could find all those things at the National Private Truck Council's (NPTC) Annual Conference in Cincinnati, which featured a well-laid-out exhibit hall loaded with truck products and technology. And of course, there were the requisite big trucks as well, and private fleet professionals to check it out. Here's a selection of photos from Monday afternoon.

About the Author

Aaron Marsh

Before computerization had fully taken hold and automotive work took someone who speaks engine, Aaron grew up in Upstate New York taking cars apart and fixing and rewiring them, keeping more than a few great jalopies (classics) on the road that probably didn't deserve to be. He spent a decade inside the Beltway covering Congress and the intricacies of the health care system before a stint in local New England news, picking up awards for both pen and camera.

He wrote about you-name-it, from transportation and law and the courts to events of all kinds and telecommunications, and landed in trucking when he joined FleetOwner in July 2015. Long an editorial leader, he was a keeper of knowledge at FleetOwner ready to dive in on the technical and the topical inside and all-around trucking—and still turned a wrench or two. Or three. 

Aaron previously wrote for FleetOwner.
