The 31st annual North American Truck Show gets underway Thursday, May 8 at the Bayside Expo Center in Boston.

The three-day show features new products and services from hundreds of exhibitors, including medium- and heavy-duty truck manufacturers, body and trailer companies and truck component and parts suppliers.
This year's show includes the Stars and Stripes Truck Show Event featuring 50 of the nation's best show trucks on display. There will also be instruction from local law enforcement officials -- including hourly roadside inspections covering do's, don'ts and "what they look for" information.
In addition, the show will feature information and resources for expedited trucking, sponsored by ExpressTrucking.com, and business seminars conducted by JJ Keller.
According to show director Greg Coughlin, the North American Truck Show attracts decision makers from all over the United States and Canada.
"We are known as a selling show," said Coughlin. "We provide our attendees with a fun, friendly and relaxed environment where they can do business. This year we expect to see many new products and services from our exhibitors. And we are hosting free business seminars. So as the market poises for a rebound, this is a great time for attendees to get the knowledge they need to make the best business decisions."
