Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, Inc. gathered top sales, service, parts, and technical talent from across North America for its annual “Week of Weeks” National Championships at the Isuzu Center of Excellence in Pittston, Pennsylvania.
More than 800 associates completed training and competed in district and regional contests in 2025 for a chance to earn a finalist spot. During the week of August 4, the best of the best went head-to-head in live competitions designed to test product knowledge, customer communication skills, and hands-on expertise.
“It speaks volumes of the talent our Isuzu dealers have recruited and trained to get to this level,” said Shaun Skinner, president of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America and Isuzu Commercial Truck of Canada. “This is a big competition, but more than that, it is a celebration of the contestants’ hard work.”
