Rogue Truck Body, LLC Achieves National Truck Equipment Association
Member Verification Program Status
Kerby, OR — Rogue Truck Body, LLC is pleased
to announce that it is among the 363 companies to-date to achieve National Truck
Equipment Association (NTEA) Member Verification Program (MVP) status. MVP
participants distinguish themselves by embracing the knowledge that is necessary
to provide a high level of quality while meeting certain regulatory
requirements.
“Our goal here at Rogue Truck Body has always been to
manufacture top-quality products for our customers. We want our products to
last, so we build them that way. It’s not uncommon to see a unit we built 15 or
20 years ago still going strong, said Keith Hill, owner and CEO of Rogue Truck
Body.
“We’re thankful that God has blessed our business the way he
has. And, we’re pleased to become a member of an assocation that recognizes and
promotes us for the quality, principles and ethics on which this business was
built.”
According to former NTEA President Tom Rawson, CEO of RKI Inc. (Houston, TX),
“The NTEA MVP is attempting to raise the overall level of professionalism within
the throughout the truck body and equipment industry value chain.”
The Program identifies business practices common to
successful companies and promotes increased professionalism by helping
commercial truck and transportation equipment industry firms build more
profitable, mutually beneficial and longer-lasting relationships with their
suppliers, distributors and customers.
Initially MVP participants have been asked to verify to the
Association that they meet four out of five business processes and certain
government criteria. Over time, the NTEA will increase program requirements to
encourage even higher standards through set criteria that must be met by
Distributor and Manufacturer members in order to continue to qualify for MVP
status. Members must re-qualify every three years.
A total of 363 members achieved MVP status as of April 1,
2008. The program was first introduced to NTEA members in May 2005.
“This MVP designation from NTEA shows our customers that we
strive for excellence and will continue to provide them with the best possible
product and service,” Hill concluded.
Established in 1964, the NTEA is
the leading association supporting the $116 billion work truck and trailer
industry. The Association currently represents more than 1,700 companies that
manufacture, distribute, install, sell and repair commercial trucks, truck
bodies, truck equipment, trailers and accessories. Buyers of work trucks and the
major commercial truck chassis manufacturers also belong to the Association.
The NTEA provides in-depth technical information, education
and money-saving opportunities through its member programs, publications,
services and sponsorship of The Work Truck Show® — the only event dedicated
exclusively to the Class 1 through 8 commercial truck and transportation
equipment market. The Association maintains its administrative headquarters in
suburban Detroit and a government relations office in Washington, DC.
Its Web site,
www.ntea.com, provides an interactive listing of members and their
