The first module of a sequel to Truck Equipment 101 is now available free to members of the National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA).

“The course conveys important and complex aspects of the process in a succinct way; it’s a great educational resource for the work truck industry,” Dehne says.
Launched in 2017, Truck Equipment 101 consists of 15 online modules.
No prerequisites are required for either program.
