The Larson Group (TLG) was named the winner of the 2025 Successful Dealer Award, presented by Overdrive sister publication Trucks, Parts, Service. The award honors and recognizes the strongest dealer entities in the North American medium- and heavy-duty trucking sector.
Trucks, Parts, Service, sister publication of Overdrive, is accepting nominations for its two dealer award programs — the Successful Dealer Award and the Trailblazer Award.
The Successful Dealer Award
The Successful Dealer Award is now in its 15th year and recognizes new and used medium- and heavy-duty truck dealers for their commitment to their customers, associates and the transportation industry.
The program has honored truck dealers from every OEM over its existence and features a two-day awards summit where finalists and prior winners come together to discuss their business and ways to improve operations throughout the dealer channel.
Anyone active in the trucking industry is welcome and encouraged to nominate a truck dealer for the Successful Dealer Award, and all new and used medium- and heavy-duty truck dealers except 2025 winner TLG Peterbilt are eligible to win in this year’s award.
Launched in 2023, The Trailblazer Award seeks to provide similar recognition and appreciation for North America’s best commercial trailer dealers.
The program highlights North America’s most successful and impressive trailer dealers for their commitment to their customers, employees and the trucking industry at large.
