KANSAS CITY, MO (November, 2009) Arrow Truck Sales, Inc. has announced it will be concentrating efforts into help building more Volvo / Mack Premium Used Truck Dealers’ wholesale and retail business in preparation for the eventual economic upturn. This move will help prepare North American Trucks’ used truck businesses to handle the expected demand in upcoming months.

As part of this initiative, Marty Crawford has been promoted from Mack Remarketer to Senior Account Manager for Dealer Sales Development. His new role will involve greater responsibility, management involvement, and sales development.  His primary focus will be to support and grow dealer used truck business.  Marty will help to implement strategies in all areas to assist dealer used truck sales.
