CIT Trucks was named the winner of the 2021 Successful Dealer Award during a finalist banquet Wednesday in Phoenix.
CIT Trucks took home the dealer market’s top honor over Mid-State Truck Service, Premier Truck Group, TNTX Truck and Wieland International. The Successful Dealer Award, now in its ninth year, is sponsored by Automann, Interstate Billing, National Truck Protection and Premium 2000.
This is the first time CIT Trucks has won the Successful Dealer Award after previously being a finalist in 2014 in 2017.
“Everybody in this room would agree, [this award] goes out to our people. Our team," says CIT President Carl Herzog. "But it's not just our team. It's our suppliers, our OEMs and, whether we're competitors or not, it's also our fellow dealers across the industry. It takes a network to support the customers the way we should."
He adds, "We're all in a great industry. Something I'm proud to be part of and it definitely means a lot to earn this recognition."
A dedication to training and community involvement highlighted in our CIT Trucks business profile were just some of the factors that helped the company earn this year’s accolade. The Illinois-based dealer group also stood out for its commitment to environmental initiatives, workplace development and progressive marketing.
CIT states, “It is our responsibility to make quality decisions concerning the environment” and across its network it has implemented dozens of processes designed to reduce energy needs and waste. Energy-efficient, motion-controlled lighting systems are common across the company and have been coupled with HVAC systems to reflect state of the art air filtration. Shop recycling programs for oil, filters and coolant, metals, cardboard and more also reduce corporate waste, and new green spaces are being added across the network to provide ecological benefits to their communities.
