ARI's Bob Shipp Certified by National Private Truck Council

Automotive Resources International (ARI®), a leading global fleet solutions provider specializing in complex car and truck fleets, announces Truck Sales Manager Bob Shipp's accreditation as a Certified Transportation Professional (CTP®).

Administered by the National Private Truck Council, the CTP program is the only certification program of its kind in the industry. To qualify to sit for the examination, professionals must have earned a total of 600 certification points. Shipp filled this requirement based on 38 years of experience in the industry, a BS degree in Business, general management experience and through his participation in the National Truck Equipment Association and the Society of Automotive Engineers.

The CTP program gives fleet managers, suppliers, traffic and transportation professionals an edge over, and the respect of, their peers in the industry. To garner the certification, professionals must pass a comprehensive, two-part exam covering five core areas: finance, safety & security, human resources, equipment maintenance, and organizational/operational systems. This test includes a multiple-choice portion and a written case study analysis.

"Shipp's certification is a testament to the experience and knowledge that he offers to our clients," commented Vice President, Sales, Joe Frantz, "His ability to understand complex operational and regulatory issues and identify and evaluate potential costs and savings best enable ARI to partner with customers in developing customized solutions for truck fleets."
