The Trucks, Parts, Service Distributor of the Year program is back in action for another year.
Now in its 22nd year, the Distributor of the Year program is once again sponsored by the Commercial Vehicle Solutions Network (CVSN), Cummins-Meritor, High Bar Brands, Interstate Billing Service and Karmak.
Finalists for this year's award were announced last month, with one prior winner, two prior finalists and two first-time finalists earning nominations from the aftermarket for the industry's highest honor. Over the next few months, we will be learning more about these organizations and what makes them so unique. Today we learn more about Crossroads Truck Equipment.
This is Crossroads Truck Equipment's second consecutive nomination for the Distributor of the Year Award. The company was first nominated last year.
Crossroads Truck Equipment was founded in 1977 by Cletus Bierman and the late Delmar Shelton. Cletus is still the President and an active employee of the company today. He shares ownership with Mr. James Verdeyen who is also an active employee of the company.
Crossroads Truck Equipment has seven locations across Illinois and Indiana. These locations include the following: three locations in Effingham, Ill., and we have facilities in Jacksonville and Decatur, Ill., and Bedford and Vincennes, Ind.
We have approximately 70 employees at any given time.
