It’s been another great year for the Truck Parts & Service Distributor of the Year program. After receiving votes for more than 30 aftermarket businesses during our open nomination process in the spring, we selected four great distributors as finalists for the 2014 award.
Blaine Brothers, Sadler Power Train, Six Robblees and Wheelco have more than 200 years of total experience serving the heavy-duty aftermarket.
The businesses are spread across the United States, with locations on the Mississippi River all the way up to central Alaska.
It’s a great group, a group I’ve been fortunate to learn more about over these last several months.
And as the 2014 Distributor of the Year program heads into the home stretch — this year’s winner will be crowned in January at HDAW — we’d like to take one last look at the great businesses that will up for our 13th annual aftermarket award.
Congratulations to each business. You all do great work, and the aftermarket is fortunate to have you.
