Kenworth recognized GreatWest Kenworth in Calgary, Albany, as 2008 Kenworth Medium-Duty Dealer of the Year for the U.S. and Canada.

The dealer, which houses the Kenworth T170 Class 5, T270 Class 6 and T370 Class 7 models, was honored at the annual Kenworth Dealer Meeting in Columbus, Ohio.

"We've worked diligently to build our medium-duty business, and last year we sold Kenworth medium-duty trucks to large national accounts down to local landscaping, vacuum, disposal, construction and agricultural businesses," said Jeff Storwick, president of GreatWest Kenworth, which operates dealerships in Calgary, Clairmont, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and Red Deer, Albany.

"GreatWest Kenworth has a strong commitment to medium-duty customers, and aggressively expanded its business with dedicated medium-duty employees, outstanding customer relations, and training," said Bill Kozek, Kenworth general manager and Paccar vice president.

Kenworth also honored six dealer finalists in the category, including Pape Kenworth in central California, Inland Kenworth in Canada, Kenworth Montreal in Quebec, MHC Kenworth in the Midwest, MHC Kenworth in Tennessee and Worldwide Equipment, headquartered in Kentucky.
