The annual Used Truck Association (UTA) Convention, being held Nov. 6-9 at the Marriot Renaissance, in Indian Wells, Calif., will feature workshops led by industry experts sharing insights and information.
The workshops enable experts and dealers to discuss the latest trends and issues affecting the industry. Several of this year’s workshops go right to the bottom line: The trade-in process, UTA says.
One workshop will delve into current and emerging engine technologies for Class 8 truck engines. These technologies include diagnostic tools for used truck dealers to assess engines at the moment of trade-in. The trade-in process for the engine after-treatment system is another area where mistakes can be costly and significant. A second workshop will address these systems, discussing best practices for trade-in inspections and the latest inspection tools. The two workshops are scheduled for Nov. 7.
“Used truck dealers make their money at trade-in, when they purchase their trucks,” says Bobby Williams, UTA dealer group chair. “That’s why it’s essential to know just what you’re buying, which is where these two workshops can really help.”
The convention, in its 20th year, also will include a vendor fair, where attendees can see the latest products available from the industry’s top vendors.
