Somerset, PA (April 1, 2005). J&J Truck Bodies & Trailers, a division of Somerset Welding and Steel, Inc., and a leading manufacturer of dump bodies and trailers, today announced that Chad Bunk and Jason Maline have earned Advanced Certification on International Truck & Engine's Diamond Logic Builder Software. J&J Truck Bodies & Trailers is the only dump truck manufacturer to have Advanced Logic certified technicians on their staff, putting them in the unique position of offering their International chassis customers a higher level of service.

This exciting new technology from International allows dump truck body builders to easily integrate the chassis and body electrical systems and accommodates an infinite variety of vehicle configuration options, enabling J&J to create customized electronic features for their customers. Diagnostic capabilities are also built into Diamond Builder Logic software for diagnosing chassis and integrated body equipment controls, reducing troubleshooting and repair times.

Chad and Jason attended a training program at International's offices in Chicago where they received classroom training as well as on-the-job training in the company's manufacturing plant. The course was taught by International's TEM Development Managers, Enrique Pradilla., James Balkonis, and Shekhar Taneia. Dave Spear, Quality Assurance Manager at J&J, said "We felt it was important to take the time and incur the expense to train Chad and Jason on the latest technology available so we can better serve our customers who want to integrate their International trucks with one of our dump bodies. In the long run, these trucks will provide our customers with higher performance and more functionality."
