SEATTLE (Oct. 15, 2010)—National Purchasing Partners (NPP), one of the nation’s largest group purchasing organizations, today announced agreements that provide commercial transportation companies with significant discounts on products and services from Verizon Wireless, Goodyear Tire & Rubber, TalentWise, and Staples.
The program is available to NPP members involved in domestic courier services, commercial trucking, container haulage, taxi or limousine services, or para-transit.
Membership in NPP is free; there is no cost to join or obligation to participate.
“Every business is watching its expenses today,” said Andrew Forrester, president of NPP. “Through group purchasing, transportation companies can reduce costs on essential products and services while preserving established relationships with local dealers.”
Discounts for NPP transportation members include:
• Verizon Wireless: Exclusive discounts on Verizon Wireless products and services including monthly voice, data, and Push-to-Talk plans as well as Verizon Wireless equipment and accessories. In addition, NPP members have access to solutions that help solve business challenges, such as CSA 2010, through Verizon Wireless Business Solution Alliance partners including XATA Turnpike. Ideal for small and medium-sized transportation companies, the Verizon Wireless offer is not available to government agencies or Fortune 500 companies.
• Goodyear: Up to 49% off all new Goodyear, Dunlop, and Kelly commercial tires; up to 62% off all Goodyear retread tires; the advantages of Goodyear’s fleetHQ program; up to 28% off all light-truck and passenger tires; and discounts on vehicle service at Goodyear dealers.
