NATM Trailer Dealers Committee
Purpose:
The purpose of the Trailer Dealers Committee is to educate trailer dealers and end users by communicating trailer safety, industry standards and regulatory information to the dealer networks/distribution channels within the light- and medium-duty trailer industry.
Annual Objectives:
2011 objectives include:
- Work closely with the Marketing Committee to promote improved dealer relations, education and compliance through two Dealer editions of Tracks and other campaigns.
- Reach out to other organizations to communicate trailer safety and compliance and develop new avenues to communicate our message.
- Actively research the needs of trailer dealers and determine what NATM can provide beyond our stated objectives that can enhance and improve communication to our mutual consumers and end-users.
- Develop and enhance NATM’s Tracks for Dealers to become a main conduit of information flow from our dealer base back to us, making it current, pertinent and informative to all Dealers, Consumers and NATM members.
- Create a Delivery Checklist for dealers to assist consumers in understanding how to safely attach and tow their trailers.
- Create a program to recognize dealers that sell compliant trailers.
- Attend trailer manufacturer’s dealer meetings to educate trailer dealers about the NATM Compliance Verification Program.
