In addition, Idealease honored Utilimaster as its Supplier of the Year, and Cummins, Inc. and Dana Corp. as Outstanding Supplier Partners for 2017.
Idealease says guest speakers for the meeting included Navistar executives Persio Lisboa, executive vice president and COO and Michael Cancelliere, president, Truck and Parts. Also, the Afterburners, training consultants who share the experiences and technique used by elite military teams, discussed how to drive accountability, increase agility and accelerate organizational performance with a commitment to flawless execution.
Business sessions addressed a wide range of topics including needs and trends in the truck leasing and rental industry, programs to increase sales, new products and marketing initiatives, safety and compliance updates, and more. Fifty suppliers exhibited products and services and met with Idealease location representatives, the company says.
