Team FLD made its first appearance at the National Private Truck Council conference in Orlando, and – as usual – our inveterate observer FLD Frank was on hand to get all the scoop for our customers and friends who couldn’t be in attendance.
FLD FRANK REVIEWS 2023 NATIONAL PRIVATE TRUCK CONFERENCE
That National Private Truck Conference’s Annual Conference and Exhibit hit Orlando May 7– 9, and as usual, our roving observer Frank stopped by to get the scoop for those who couldn’t attend. Here’s what he had to report:
- This year’s conference was a bustling event with more than 1,300 attendees – and 185 exhibitors – including large private fleets like Walmart, Frito Lay and Walgreens.
- FLD was exhibiting for the first time, and the event proved a great opportunity to highlight that we’re the only provider that can totally eliminate remarketing risk by purchasing used assets up front in one easy transaction that leaves our customers free to move on to more important things in less than a week.
- Unlike virtually every show I’ve attended since pandemic restrictions ended, electric vehicles DID NOT take front and center, and in fact I was hard pressed to find more than one vehicle on the show floor, an indication that EV adoption may be further off than corporate America is pushing for – especially when it comes to large work vehicles
- Kudos to conference organizers for finding inventive ways to keep attendees engaged from the moment the show floor opened until the end of each day – amazing job!
- And finally, a big FLD Frank shoutout to all of the professional drivers inducted at the show’s marquis event – the Driver Hall of Fame awards. What an amazing collection of stories we heard – I’ve already rsvp’d for next year!
