  • Daimler Truck North America Launche Reward Program
    Daimler Truck North America Launche Reward Program 03 26, 2014 Contact: [email protected] LOUISVILLE, Ky., – (March 26, 2014) – Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is pleased to announce the official launch of its new customer rewards program for those who are searching for quality commercial truck and bus parts and services. The Truck Bucks℠ rewards program, rewards customers that shop within the DTNA network of Freightliner, Western Star, Detroit™ and Thomas Built Buses retail locations, while opening up a new channel of communication with its aftermarket customers across all brands. Through the Truck Bucks℠ rewards program, customers who are members of the program receive special incentives throughout the year. Specials include discounts on select parts and services, which are automatically deducted at check­out without the need for coupons or further action by the customer. “Truck Bucks℠ is a great opportunity for us to reward our customers for the parts and services that they purchase every day,” explains Paul Tuomi, director dealer and fleet parts sales, Daimler Trucks North America. “This rewards program will allow us to get closer to our best customers, and help us provide a better aftermarket experience.” With close to 800 retail locations, DTNA is one of the largest retail networks in the industry. DTNA has taken great lengths to improve the customer experience through the integration of new technologies and operational efficiencies at every stage of the customer ownership cycle. “We recognize that today, fleets and owner­operators are very conscious of their total cost of ownership,” added Tuomi. “To us, that means our parts and service operations have to be exceptional and provide value to our customers; this rewards program keeps us focused on that goal.” Customers are able to sign up for Truck Bucks online starting April 1 at www.MyTruckBucks.com or at any Freightliner, Western Star, Detroit™ or Thomas Built Buses retail location across the country.

The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus FORD MOTOR CO. v. MONTANA EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF MONTANA No. 19–368. Argued October 7, 2020—Decided March 25, 2021* Ford Motor Company is a global auto company, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Michigan. Ford markets, sells, and services its products across the United States and overseas. The company also encourages a resale market for its vehicles. In each of these two cases, a state court exercised jurisdiction over Ford in a products-liability suit stemming from a car accident that injured a resident in the State. The first suit alleged that a 1996 Ford Explorer had malfunctioned, killing Markkaya Gullett near her home in Montana. In the second suit, Adam Bandemer claimed that he was injured in a collision on a Min- nesota road involving a defective 1994 Crown Victoria. Ford moved to dismiss both suits for lack of personal jurisdiction. It argued that each state court had jurisdiction only if the company’s conduct in the State had given rise to the plaintiff’s claims. And that causal link existed, according to Ford, only if the company had designed, manufactured, or sold in the State the particular vehicle involved in the accident.
