Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC, Dayton Parts, LLC (DP, LLC), Haldex and SKF have banded together to create a new recognition for fleet technicians. The four companies announced they are now accepting applications for the 2006 Technician of the Year Award program.
The companies created the program in 2005 to recognize a fleet’s “superstar” technician, who exemplifies the best qualities of the profession, including his/her technical and mechanical experience, service specialties and overall contributions to the industry.
Until Dec. 1, fleet managers may nominate a technician by visiting www.techoftheyear.com or by clicking the link available on each of the four participating sponsor company Web sites. Following the annual December 1st nominating deadline, a panel of independent judges from various heavy-duty industry organizations and the four company sponsors will chose a winner from the pool of applications.
The winning technician will be announced at Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) in Las Vegas (January 23 – 25, 2007). The winner and its nominator will receive a VIP trip to Las Vegas to attend HDAW. Additionally, a reception will be held during HDAW to honor the 2006 Technician of the Year winner. The technician and his/her fleet also will receive national recognition from select trucking industry trade publications.
The Technician of the Year Award Program is designed to recognize fleet technicians as a valuable asset in the heavy duty fleet marketplace. Bendix, DPI, Haldex and SKF value the award as an industry standard, recognizing those who dedicate proper maintenance techniques to the profitability and quality of their fleet operations.
