International Truck and Engine Corp. has recognized Tom Thayer of International Truck Sales of Richmond, Richmond, Va., as its 2005 Dealer of the Year.

The announcement was made at the 26th Annual Circle of Excellence black-tie awards ceremony, held at the Four Seasons Resort Wailea, Maui, Hawaii. Thayer is the seventh recipient of this prestigious honor, awarded annually based on strict performance criteria to only one of the more than 350 International dealers and distributors throughout the world.

The program measures dealer performance in terms of operating and financial standards, market representation, and most importantly, customer satisfaction.

He became dealer principal of International Truck Sales of Richmond in 1998 and has been a Circle of Excellence winner every year since.
