A few weeks back, I looked out the window of my hotel room at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis and viewed one of the most incredible sunrises I’ve seen. It set the tone for how the rest of the day would unfold: intense, brilliant, and over in the blink of an eye. It was the morning of the Truck Dealer of the Year (TDOTY) Awards at the 2019 ATD Show, and soon, I’d be presenting to some of the most admirable leaders in our industry. Along with Heavy Duty Trucking magazine and ATD, I’d have the distinct honor of presenting Trey Mytty with the 2019 ATD Truck Dealer of the Year Award as well as our own customer, Terry Minor of Cumberland International, as the runner-up.

Being a co-sponsor of the 2019 ATD Truck Dealer of the Year Award for the 5th year in a row wasn’t Procede’s only highlight at the show. We also had the opportunity to officially unveil our most significant release to date: Excede v10. And, Excede v10 is just the start of even more great things to come. It lays the foundation for several exciting announcements we plan to share this year around our platform and product strategy.

Since the official launch of Excede v10, we’ve been happy to hear the excitement surrounding the new release and how it will benefit your dealerships. Each day we continue to see this excitement as more of our customers join the growing upgrade queue. Additionally, 597 of you have already viewed our new suite of Excede v10 videos on our brand-new eLearning website, further confirming you’re already taking advantage of our customer resources.

I encourage you to continue to visit our eLearning site and Customer and Resources Portal to ensure you’re getting the most out of your business system and utilizing the tools available to your dealership.

With 2019 off to a BIG start, from a significant announcement (Excede v10) and award (ATD TDOTY), this is just the beginning of what’s going to be an even BIGGER year, with more exciting announcements coming soon!

As always, contact me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
