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 in July, 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 Tidewater Fleet Supply/TNT Parts.
In 1953, Tidewater Fleet Supply was founded as a distributor of batteries by E.W. Walker, SR in Norfolk, Va., and later was purchased in 1956 by Ralph Ferebee and John Everton. TNT Parts’ roots can be traced back to the early 1980’s. Officially founded in 2000, by Greg Woods, TNT Parts was acquired by TFS in 2016. Most recently, D&J Supply, a family owned (Jeff & Dan Schubach) and operated business for over 45 years in east Atlanta, joined Tidewater Fleet Supply/TNT Parts in June 2022.
We have 16 locations: Norfolk, Richmond, Newport News, Chesapeake (two locations) and Hampton (two locations), Va.; Forest Park, Garden City, Dublin, Lithonia and Buford, Ga.; Charlotte, N.C.; Pelzer, S.C.; Jacksonville and Orlando, Fla.
