For those entering the work truck industry — or even those looking to strengthen their understanding — grasping the fundamentals of how work trucks are built is essential. From chassis and bodies to upfits, equipment and accessories, the multi-stage vehicle industry is complex, but having a solid foundation makes navigating it far more approachable.
Last October, NTEA’s Truck Equipment 101 webinar drew one of the highest attendance levels in the Association’s history, underscoring the demand for accessible, practical education in this space. For anyone who missed it — or wants a refreshed perspective — Generation Next is bringing the session back with updated content on June 17, 2026, from 11 a.m. to noon ET.
Presented by NTEA Managing Director Kevin Koester, this webinar is designed to break down key concepts in a straightforward, easy-to-understand way. Participants will gain insight into how work trucks come together, along with the terminology, processes and considerations that shape the industry.
One of the strengths of this session is its accessibility. It’s tailored specifically for newcomers, but it also serves as a refresher for more experienced professionals who want to reinforce their knowledge or fill in gaps. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly on topics that impact their day-to-day roles.
Generation Next is committed to supporting the growth and development of industry professionals at all stages of their careers. Educational opportunities like this webinar are a key area of that mission — helping individuals expand their knowledge base and better contribute to their organizations.
The one-hour session is free for employees of all NTEA member companies and $79 for nonmembers.
If you’re looking to better understand the building blocks of work trucks — or simply want to strengthen your foundation — this session is a great place to start.

We hope to see everyone in June.
