Achieving the rarified air of being named a 2020 finalist for the Trucks, Parts, Service Distributor of the Year Award is nothing new to Point Spring & Driveshaft. After all, the company was a finalist in 2003, 2012 and 2013 and won top honors in 2005. That kind of consistency of excellence in providing parts and service says a lot about the distributor, which has eight locations throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia.

The COVID-19 virus resulted in one of the strangest years in recent history and challenged everyone in the trucking industry. Despite the seemingly endless hurdles that had to be cleared because of the pandemic, Cook Brothers Truck Parts has been named winner of the Trucks, Parts, Service Distributor of the Year Award for 2020. The Distributor of the Year Award was announced at Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week’s (HDAW) virtual event this morning.

You get a presentation by Jacob Findlay, CEO & Founder, Fullbay, explaining how to look at the right metrics and interpret them correctly. Findlay explained how in Mad Men, the main characters made decisions from the gut, using qualitative information, while in Moneyball Oakland A’s General Manager Billy Beane used myriad statistics to build his team using quantitative data.
