Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 25, 2013, Wabash National Corporation ("Wabash National" or the "Company") issued a press release relating to the transaction described under Item 8.01 below. A copy of the press release, which pursuant to this Item is being furnished with this Current Report, is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.



Item 8.01 Other Events.

On January 24, 2013, Wabash National Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain assets of the tank and trailer business of Beall Corporation, a Portland, Oregon-based manufacturer of aluminum tank trailers and related equipment, for approximately $15 million in cash. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2013.

Beall Corporation began Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings in September of 2012, followed by a bankruptcy-court approved auction of its assets in December.

The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions for a sale of this type, including the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Oregon entering a final order approving the acquisition by Wabash National pursuant to and in accordance with the definitive agreement.
