"We accept this award from Ford on behalf of our dealers and employees. This award is a reflection of the dedication of our team members and dealers.

Jay Nine, general sales manager for Starcraft Bus, adds, “We enjoy our partnership with Ford as it continues to provide new and innovative ideas to meet the ever-changing demands of its customers. It’s easy to see why Ford is the leader in the commercial bus industry.” Jay recently accepted the award from Ford on behalf of Starcraft Bus at their annual pool account meeting in Washington, D.C.
