“The commitment of all our valued suppliers who deliver for us, and for the fleets who keep the world moving, is appreciated and felt now more than ever,” said Jeff Allen, senior vice president of operations and specialty vehicles for DTNA. “We are pleased to recognize this year’s Masters of Quality award recipients and are honored by their dedication and partnership.

To ensure only top suppliers receive the award, DTNA carefully tracks the performance of each of their suppliers throughout the year and scores them based on delivery times, technology, value, and overall quality.
