FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (July 12, 2016) — NTEA – The Association for the Work Truck Industry recognizes three organizations that have distinguished themselves as Member Verification Program (MVP) companies during the quarter ending June 2016. In addition, nine companies requalified for the program.
Since 2005, MVP has recognized hundreds of companies for successfully implementing specific business standards and processes, and for taking the necessary steps to comply with applicable government regulations. Suppliers and upfitters with MVP status are identifiable to fleet managers and truck dealers as having achieved a higher commitment to excellence by their effective use of safety and quality standards.
Program criteria can involve liability insurance, warranty programs, vehicle and employee certification, safety policies and quality assurance — factors important to dealers, fleets and OEMs.
As of June 30, 2016:
The newest MVP companies are:
- Dealers Truck Equipment Co. Inc. (Willis, Texas)
- The Fab Shop (Edgewood, Washington)
- Knapheide Truck Equipment Co.–Southwest (Buda, Texas)
MVP companies must re-verify every three years. Companies that have successfully qualified to renew their MVP statuses are:
- Axton Fleet Systems (San Antonio, Texas)
- Dejana Truck & Utility Equipment of Greater Philadelphia (Cinnaminson, New Jersey)
- Knapheide Truck Equipment–Midsouth (Birmingham, Alabama)
