This is a great way to highlight some of the young talent that this industry has,” says Nick Seidel, of Action Truck Parts and president of GenNext. “Being a young professional in the heavy-duty aftermarket, I and GenNext are excited to share the successes of our industry with all the applicants and finalists.”
The young professionals chosen from this year’s nominees will represent the best of the independent aftermarket, and will be honored at the CVSN Aftermarket Distribution Summit June 4-8, in Lake Tahoe, Calif. The 4 Under 40 Awards are sponsored by Trucks, Parts, Service.
