A Tribute to Jerry Nerman

In 1950, Jerome Nerman founded Arrow Truck Sales, which, at the time of its 1998 sale to Volvo Truck of North America, was the largest pre-owned truck business in America. With 22 locations, it was the largest truck business in the country.

In 1998, he founded the Used Truck Association to advocate for education and training to ensure the highest standards of service in the industry. He also created the Jerome Nerman Scholarship Award, which takes place every year through the Used Truck Association.

As a renowned Kansas City-area philanthropist, Nerman donated the lead gift to build the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art on the Johnson County Community College campus in Overland Park, KS. Nerman passed away in 2017 at the age of 97.
