Warren, Inc. Added as International Truck and Engine Corporation’s Partner in Integrated Dump Truck Program

Collins, Miss. ( May 27, 2005 ) – Dump truck customers now have a one-stop shopping resource when it comes to new trucks.  Warren, Inc., headquartered in Collins, Miss. , and a local staple in the dump truck body manufacturing business since 1993, has partnered with International Truck and Engine to deliver top of the line trucks to their customers.

“By using the Integrated Dump Truck Program, customers who know what they want can come directly to the International dealer to spec out their complete dump truck,” said Bill Sixsmith, Director of Severe Service Marketing, International Truck and Engine Corporation.  “Our customers will be guaranteed the outstanding performance and on-going support expected in all International trucks.  Customers can rely on the longstanding expertise of Warren, Inc.  In Warren , Inc., customers also have one location for the truck, body, and related equipment.”

In fact, the warranty program is one of the best in the industry.  The warranty program features an added second year chassis warranty included with an International integrated dump and a three-year warranty on the dump body and associated hydraulic cylinder.  This is unique in the industry, and offers more customer value.

“Warren, Inc. is proud to join in the International Integrated dump program.  We believe our five mounting locations in Talco, TX; Collins, MS; Birmingham, AL; Plant City, FL; and Columbia, SC will provide many International dealers in North America the advantage of buying a Warren dump body installed by a Warren facility.  The combination of the International chasis and the Warren body makes a dependable, complete work truck,” said CEO Russell Warren.

When an Integrated Dump Truck is ordered, the chassis knows what body it will have mounted to it.  This allows International to deliver a chassis with the correct specifications, including wheelbase, electrical connections, and pre-punched frame rails.  A completed dump truck can arrive at the dealership faster than the usual locally installed alternative. 

Originally launched in 1999, International’s Integrated Dump Program has evolved from a southeastern pilot program in the U.S. to expanding into all of the U.S. and Canada .
