Premier Truck Group was named winner of the 2023 Successful Dealer Award on Tuesday during an awards banquet in Nashville.
Sponsored by Automann, Interstate Billing Service, Karmak, National Truck Protection and Premium 2000, the Successful Dealer Award recognizes medium- and heavy-duty truck dealers for their consistent business excellence, customer responsiveness, workforce improvement, marketing expertise, civic engagement and more.
Premier Truck Group took home this year’s award over other finalists Housby, Kenworth of Louisiana, Tom’s Truck Center and West Michigan International. All five dealers were nominated for the award through an industry-wide open submission process this spring, with finalists being selected based on applications submitted by the dealers this summer.
Premier Truck Group was also a finalist in 2021. In taking home this year’s award, Premier Truck Group Executive Vice President Mark Lamont spoke highly of the company’s more than 2,900 team members in the United States and Canada that enabled the business to reach such great heights in a short time while also praising the other award finalists.
“Thank you all so much for this. Quite frankly it's humbling," Lamont said. "I look around this room and I hear what you're doing — this is a very amazing group of people. This is very much appreciated and we're so proud of the opportunity to be a part of this group."
Director of Marketing and Communications Michael McHorse was also complimentary of the fellow finalists, "Every time I come to these events I learn so much. I heard so many great ideas today. There are some amazing things happening in the dealerships nominated this year."
