For the first time, a tire supplier receives the Outstanding Achievement Award. The award was given to the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company and it was Penske Truck Leasing who gave away the award.

Goodyear was chosen by Penske as the deserving winner for the Outstanding Achievement Award because of the high quality tires that it has been supplying Penske. The tire company had been supplying Penske with truck tires of all types - from replacement tires to retread tires to everything else in between. Goodyear has also been providing tire services to Penske.

Aside from the Outstanding Achievement Award, Goodyear also received from Penske the Tire Supplier of the Year award. This is the 8th time in a row that Goodyear received such an accolade. Steve McClellan, the vice president of Goodyear’s commercial tire systems, have shared that the company looks at the recognition with much significance for it is a reflection of the kind of products and services and they offer.
