The National Truck Equipment Association has recognized one member company and requalified 10 companies through its Member Verification Program for their commitment to safety and quality standards.
This brings the total number of companies who currently have achieved MVP status to 380.

Since 2005, NTEA's Member Verification Program has recognized distributors, manufacturers and upfitters for implementing quality business practices and for complying with specific government safety regulations.

Criteria to meet the MVP standards can involve liability insurance, warranty programs, vehicle and employee certification, safety policies, and quality assurance. Program standards were enhanced July 1, 2008, to include more stringent requirements.

The Newest MVP for the first quarter of 2009 is Delta-Waseca Inc., Waseca, Minn., which manufactures dry freight, refrigerated and curtainside custom van bodies.

Members who have successfully renewed their MVP status as of March 31 (MVPs must re-verify every three years):

Action Fabrication & Truck Equipment, Clearwater, Fla.
Adams (RA) Enterprises, McHenry, Ill.
Brand FX Body Co/Gem Top, Fort Worth, Texas
DewEze Mfg/Harper Industries, Harper, Kan.
Diversified Fabricators, Griffin, Ga.
Drake-Scruggs Equipment, Springfield, Ill.
Elliott Machine Works, Galion, Ohio
Fisher Engineering, Rockland, ME
Real Power/Contour Hardening, Indianapolis
Robert Green Truck Div., Rock Hill, N.Y.

"We congratulate these members who have demonstrated compliance to key quality standards and for building better relationships between distributors and manufacturers, and between suppliers and their customers," said NTEA Executive Director Jim Carney. "With the recent introduction of updated criteria, we have raised the bar of the MVP program to even higher standards which should impact the quality efforts of our members and industry to an even greater extent."
