The National Private Truck Council (NPTC) will hold its annual Education Management Conference and Exhibition April 27 through 29 at the Cervantes Convention Center in St. Louis, Mo., highlighted by New York Fire Department Chief Richard Picciotto, who will be the Sunday Brunch speaker.

Chief Picciotto was the highest-ranking firefighter to survive the World Trade Center collapse and the last man to escape the devastation. He is the author of the best-selling book Last Man Down.
"NPTC 2003: The Gateway to Your Success," has been designed to help attendees address and find solutions to the challenges facing the transportation industry today. Educational seminars will feature such topics as security, fuel purchasing, new engines, the forecast for 2004-2007, accident investigation, equipment leasing options, career excellence and industry case management.
The NPTC Exhibition will include state-of-the-art technology and the newest products on display. There will be opportunities to meet the Bridgestone/Firestone and NPTC Driver Hall of Fame inductees, network with colleagues and attend many more unique events exclusive to NPTC.
