CHALK up another successful Tank Truck Week for National Tank Truck Carriers. The 2015 event was held November 11-13 in Houston, Texas, and included a packed agenda and expanded equipment exhibit.
Nearly 1,300 members of the tank truck industry attended the three-day event, and suppliers to the show accounted for 200 exhibit booths and 80 trailer displays spread across 72,500 square feet at the George R Brown Convention Center.
“Despite the oil industry downturn, we had a great show,” says Dan Furth, NTTC president. “We sold out all of our exhibit space. We had an excellent DOT Cargo Tank Test & Inspection Workshop, and we held multiple program tracks for cargo tank maintenance, tank cleaning, and safety.”
