NationaLease, Oakbrook Terrace, Ill., announced the 2009 recipients of its Rising Star Awards at its annual meeting held recently in Naples, Fla.


The awards were presented to Bergey's Leasing Associates of Franconia, Pa.; Lobster Truck Leasing & Rental of Wheeling, W.V.; and Transco (TEC) Leasing Co. of Portland, Ore.

Companies are chosen based on their participation in NationaLease programs, fleet growth, and for superior performance as measured by NationaLease member standards.

"Our Rising Star Award recognizes the smaller NationaLease member companies who have continually gone above and beyond our organization's standards," said Gene Scoggins, president of NationaLease. "The award winners have shown incredible growth and as they continue to prosper in the years ahead, they will surely take their place among the leading transportation companies in our industry."
