The NTEA, the Association for the Work Truck Industry, recognizes the 20 organizations that have distinguished themselves as Member Verification Program (MVP) companies during the quarter ending September 2013. In addition, seven companies have requalified for the MVP this quarter. The program currently includes 258 NTEA Member companies.
Since its launch in 2005, the MVP recognizes truck equipment distributors, manufacturers and upfitters for their successful implementation of specified business standards and processes, and for taking significant steps to comply with applicable government regulations. Criteria to meet the MVP standards can involve liability insurance, warranty programs, vehicle and employee certification, safety policies and quality assurance.
“Since its inception, we’ve seen the program increase in importance to membership, truck dealers, fleets and OEMs,” says NTEA Executive Director Steve Carey. “The MVP demonstrates the participants’ commitment to excellence through the use of safety and quality standards. We congratulate these companies for their diligence and accomplishment.”
