Safe Fleet has combined two business units, Truck & Trailer and Work Truck, into a unified Commercial Vehicle (CV) division.
Effective immediately, Craig Bonham, former vice president of the Work Truck unit, is promoted to vice president of Commercial Vehicle and will lead the new division.
The new division strategically positions Safe Fleet to service Class 2 to Class 8 fleet vehicles with products from its entire portfolio of fleet safety brands such as American Van, Prime Design, ROM, Randall, and Bustin. The solution is a fit for fleets of all shapes and sizes, including mixed vehicle fleets and those pursuing last mile opportunities.
Bonham joined Safe Fleet in 2017 from Reading Truck Body and is an industry veteran in commercial truck and van equipment.
Bob Shupp, senior vice president of operations, supply chain & strategic initiatives, has served as the interim business unit vice president for Truck & Trailer since April. Shupp will return immediately in full capacity to his operations, supply chain, and strategic initiative duties for Safe Fleet.
