NTEA – The Association for the Work Truck Industry recognizes 10 organizations that have distinguished themselves as Member Verification Program (MVP) companies during the quarter ending September 2015. In addition, 11 companies have requalified for MVP this quarter.
During its 10-year existence, 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.

- American Eagle Accessories Group (Garner, IA)
