Dennis Jones, vice president of sales & marketing for Auto Truck Group, Bensenville, Ill., was installed as the 44th president of the National Truck Equipment Association.
Jones began his more than 30-year career in the truck industry upon graduating from The College of St. Thomas in 1973 when he was hired to work at the Truck Division of International Harvester. In the mid-1980s, Jones found himself at the other end of the spectrum with the Auto Truck Group.
"This was a major transition for me. I went from buying truck equipment from distributors to selling and installing truck equipment for the very customers by whom I used to be employed," he said. "Building a facility from 13 acres of weeds, opening it without a truck on the ground and operating it for many years has been a very rewarding adventure."
Auto Truck Group has been a Distributor member of the NTEA since 1973. Jones has served on the NTEA Board of Trustees since 2003.
