National Truck Protection Inks New Agreement with Peterbilt Wisconsin & Illinois

CARLSTADT, N.J.--National Truck Protection Inc. (NTP), North America’s leading independent provider of warranty and service contracts to the trucking industry, announced today that the company has signed an agreement with Peterbilt Wisconsin & Illinois to provide warranties to the used truck dealers’ customers. The agreement will allow Peterbilt Wisconsin & Illinois, a growing dealer network with 11 locations, to leverage the resources of both NTP and sister company American Truck Protection (ATP) to flexibly meet the needs of their customers.

“Peterbilt Wisconsin & Illinois is one of the most successful used truck dealers in the country with a 40-year track record. We are very pleased that they have placed their confidence in us,” said Robert S. Amico, president of NTP. “Effective immediately, customers of Peterbilt Wisconsin & Illinois who purchase an NTP or ATP warranty will have the confidence that they hold the best break down protection and have access to the highest level of customer service and support in the industry.”

With NTP, Peterbilt Wisconsin & Illinois customers have the assurance that issues arising with their trucks will be addressed quickly and easily, allowing them to get back on the road as soon as possible. Peterbilt Wisconsin & Illinois had previously offered warranties through their own in-house program but chose to outsource to NTP based largely on NTP’s reputation and 25-year heritage providing ironclad warranties to the used trucking industry.

“We evaluated a number of options and chose NTP because of their long and successful track record in the industry and their reputation for providing excellent customer service,” said Mike Jacques, Used Truck Director, Peterbilt Wisconsin & Illinois. “Additionally, we were drawn to NTP’s ability to offer multiple types of warranties from the incredibly comprehensive to those designed with the price sensitive customer in mind, as we strive to be a one-stop shop for our customers, as NTP is for us.”
