Sleeper manufacturer takes top honors at Expo

The organizers of the 2007 Expedite Expo, held on July 27-28 in Wilmington, Ohio, have announced the winner of the 2007 Progressive Insurance Expedite Driver's Choice Award.  Taking top honors was Bentz Transport Products of Ft. Wayne, IN for its Kenworth W900 tractor equipped with a Bentz 150" sleeper.

Expo General Manager Lawrence McCord remarks, "The Expedite Expo is known as the place where expedited truck dealers and manufacturers measure the public's reactions to their latest trucks, sleepers and improvements."

"The 2007 Progressive Insurance Expedite Driver's Choice Award recognizes the finest of the expedited trucking industry's best with attendees voting for their favorite dealer's truck."

McCord adds, "Bentz Transport Products richly deserves this award.  The company has been on the cutting edge of sleeper design and manufacturing for many years and we're very happy to see them receive this accolade.  The Expo attendees themselves chose this product as the "Peoples' Choice, and the people have spoken!"

Rochelle Adonian of Progressive Insurance states, "We're very excited to sponsor this award!  It's our way of giving back to our expedited trucking customers and honoring the best in expedited equipment."

Keith Bentz, President of Bentz Transport Products says, "We at Bentz are very proud that for two years in a row, our products have been part of the winning selection in the Expedite Driver's Choice Award - in 2006, with Freightliner of Knoxville's 960 Express Cruiser and in 2007, the Kenworth W900 integrated sleeper."

"We would like to say thanks to our customers in the expedite industry who have made our products what they are today.  We offer thanks as well to the hard working men and women here at Bentz who really put the fine detail to this product."

And finally, we have to say thanks to Lawrence McCord for putting on a fine show that allows people to see our products."
