Sponsored by the Commercial Vehicle Solutions Network (CVSN), Interstate Billing, Karmak Meritor and High Bar Brands' Minimizer and Premier Manufacturing, this is the 21st year of the Distributor of the Year program.

After announcing our finalists in July, TPS begins the process of learning more about this year's distributors with a conversation with first-time Crossroads Truck Equipment.

In addition to our three locations in Effingham Ill., we also have facilities in Jacksonville and Decatur, Ill., and Bedford and Vincennes, Ind.
