It's show time!

The 2019 Brisbane Truck Show is finally here, and brings the trucking industry's latest and greatest products and services together under one roof

The 2019 Brisbane Truck Show will be held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre from Thursday, May 16, to Sunday, May 19, with the event expected to attract crowds of around 40,000 people eager to see the latest and greatest trucks, accessories and related products and services.

Held every two years, the Brisbane Truck Show is a highlight on the Australian trucking calendar, where you can browse all the major truck brands under the one roof in air-conditioned comfort.

This year's show promises to reveal a host of new hardware, with several manufacturers vying for the limelight with both production and concept models set to make their Australian debut. Of course, every manufacturer present will be making the most of the opportunity to showcase their current line-ups, while also promoting their various aftersales support and back-up services.

In addition to all the gleaming chrome and paintwork, this year's show will also feature a 'Jobs Hub', where visitors can find details of over 150 truck and transport industry job vacancies via an online portal that will remain active for the duration of the event.

And for when it's time to rest and recuperate after a big day at the show, head down to the South Bank Roadhouse – a major heavy-vehicle display and entertainment precinct, where nearby restaurants and bars throughout the Stanley Street Plaza and Little Stanley Street have rolled out the red carpet for truck industry members and supporters.
