The three primary performance measures for the award are: sales performance, parts performance and customer support excellence. The award is presented to the top five dealers within two industry size classes: (1) below 899 units and (2) above 900 units, with KSM placing in the under 899 units category.

"This is our most prestigious award," said Adam Craft, regional manager of LBX. "Kirby-Smith ended 2018 with over 10 percent market share, worked to certify their technicians to ensure LBX standards for warranty campaigns and had the best parts sales in the territory we have seen in some time. We are excited to present them with the Triple Crown Dealer Award as it is very well-deserved."

"As a proud member of the LBX family, we are honored to be a recipient of this award," said Tim Yauilla, Kansas City sales & operations manager.
