Summit Truck Group announced that 12 of its dealership locations have been recognized by International Truck as Diamond Edge certified dealers.
The Diamond Edge program recognizes dealers for their commitment to uptime and highlights the high-performing service offered by dealers with the designation. Diamond Edge Certification is earned through achieving parts and service metrics based on customer dwell time -- in other words, the time it takes to get their truck diagnosed, repaired, and back on the road.
