DTNA's Procurement Manager Dean Veeder noted "We appreciate the opportunity to partner with suppliers like Betts that accept the challenge of delivering sustained value in our rapidly evolving marketplace.  Betts is the recognized brand in spray suppression applications and thus fits well with DTNA's genuine brand philosophy"

Betts Spring is the recognized industry leader in spray suppression system components, patenting the first mud flap hanger more than fifty (50) years ago.  Betts hangers are designed to meet the rigorous demands of Class 8 operators with unparalleled attention to innovation and quality.  Mud flap hangers supplied to Freightliner under this new agreement are manufactured at the company's campus in Fresno, CA.  Life-Time Fenders, acquired by Betts Spring in 2007 and located in Canfield, OH, manufactures a broad range of metal and poly fenders durable and strong enough to last as long as the truck on which they are installed.  They carry a life-time warranty against cracking and rusting.
