Over the next few weeks, TPS will share in-depth conversations with this year's seven nominees, detailing how they found their way to the truck dealer business, how they've navigated the industry, their efforts to lead their businesses and more. These conversations will lead up to the announcement of the 2024 ATD Truck Dealer of the Year Award, which will be announced Friday, Feb. 2, 2024, at the ATD Show in Las Vegas by Procede Software CEO Larry Kettler and TPS Editor Lucas Deal.
Our next dealer to be featured is Katie Hopkins, president and CEO of Truck Centers Inc., based in Troy, Ill.
Katie Hopkins, Truck Centers Inc.; ATD Truck Dealer of the Year nominee
My journey into the truck dealer industry was paved by family heritage and shared values. My grandfather established Truck Centers Inc. (TCI) along with two partners in 1970. My father actively led the business for the past 48 years and infused his passion for customer service and visionary leadership into TCI, resulting in the company's monumental growth.
