The Strategic Fleet Planning and Financing group of AmeriQuest Transportation Services announced that four additional members of its staff have achieved the designation of Certified Transportation Professional (CTP), which demonstrates they have attained a thorough knowledge of what it takes to operate a complex private truck fleet in a highly regulated industry. This addition brings the number of AmeriQuest executives who have obtained their CTP designations to seven.

New members of the AmeriQuest CTP Class of 2015 include vice presidents, John Primiano, Chris Hamilton, Matt Guice, and director, Frank Bussone. Patrick Gaskins, Mike Hamilton, and Brian Benicewicz, have previously achieved the designation.

Administered for more than 20 years by the National Private Truck Council and its Board of Governors, the CTP program was created in service of the private truck industry as a way to provide transportation professionals with a more in depth understanding of private fleet management, including finance, operations, maintenance, human resources, and safety.

“We want the companies we serve to know that we have the needed perspective and commitment to help them operate more efficiently and profitably,” said Patrick Gaskins, CTP, Group Vice President of Strategic Fleet Planning and Financing for AmeriQuest. “We’re proud of the hard work and dedication our team has put into earning this prestigious designation.”
