J&J Truck Bodies & Trailers, a division of Somerset Welding & Steel Inc., and a manufacturer of dump bodies, trailers, and specialty truck equipment, has achieved Member Verification Program (MVP) status through the National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA).

The NTEA developed the MVP to meet its key strategic objectives of building better partnerships between distributors and manufacturers, and suppliers and customers.

To qualify, truck body manufacturers like J&J Truck Bodies & Trailers, had to meet certain criteria that are essential to providing quality products and services to its customers. These include a current registration with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicle certification, a minimum of one million dollars in insurance coverage and proof of an audited in-house quality system.

David Spear, J&J's quality assurance manager, said, "Our MVP status and ISO 9001:2000 quality certification demonstrate to our customers that we are committed to high standards for quality and customer satisfaction, as well as continuous improvement."

Over time, the NTEA will increase program requirements to encourage even higher standards that must be met in order to continue to qualify for the program. Members must re-qualify every three years to maintain their MVP status.
