Shop survey

NTEA recently released the results of its 2001 Shop Installation Survey Results Report, which can be used to compare installation times and shop productivity. It can also serve as a benchmark when setting up flat-rate compensation or bonus systems. Included in the report is data on personnel, employee compensation, shop profits and material-handling equipment, and installation times for 23 types of commercial truck bodies and equipment.

To order a copy of the report, download an order form from www.ntea.com (click on “Products & Services”), or call 1-800-441-NTEA. The cost is $100 for NTEA members and $200 for non-members.
