The annual two-day business meeting brings together Peterbilt dealers from across North America. The meeting includes presentations and breakout sessions, with focused reviews on strengthening the dealer network and providing an industry-leading sales and service experience to customers, the company says.
“The Peterbilt Store has made significant investments in state-of-art facilities in multiple locations and it has paid off by making them one of the top performing dealer groups across several key metrics,” says Jason Skoog, Paccar vice president and Peterbilt general manager. “Their commitment to driving uptime for Peterbilt customers is something our entire dealer network should be proud of. The Peterbilt Store is a fantastic example of the customer centric reputation Peterbilt is known for. I thank them for that commitment and for representing our brand and products in a way we all take pride in.”
