What Premium 2000+ does

National Truck Protection (NTP) is a privately held commercial vehicle protection plan administrator founded in 1984 and headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, doing business under the Premium 2000+ product brand. The company sells multi-year warranty contracts covering major powertrain and component repairs — engine, transmission, aftertreatment, turbo, fuel system, rear differential, and electronics — for Class 8 heavy-duty trucks, Class 2-7 medium-duty commercial vehicles, vocational/specialty vehicles, and fire apparatus. Coverage is offered in tiered plans: Supreme/Ultra 2 (the highest tier with no-limit component repair on Elite) and Elite/Preferred (defined liability limits, e.g., engine up to $25,000-$58,000 depending on class), plus add-ons such as the Comfort Package, Cherry Picker Coverage, and the trademarked Rapid Repair Guarantee® and Rapid Repair Guarantee Plus®, each providing up to $1,500 in repair-delay coverage with three towing reimbursements.

NTP operates a purpose-built administration stack comprising a Partner Portal (dealer sales tracking, contract management, marketing collateral access), a Claims Portal (digital claims submission and tracking), and a Service Locator connecting customers to authorized repair facilities. Its go-to-market is partner-first: thousands of commercial vehicle dealers and sales reps distribute the plans, supported by on-demand sales training (webinars, objection-handling guides, sales scripts), co-branded marketing materials, and a commission/incentive structure, supplemented by direct-to-consumer sales via website quote requests and phone. Revenue is generated through recurring warranty premiums on multi-year contracts across the United States and Canada.

The company has operated for 41 years, reports 5/5-star customer testimonials across owner-operator and enterprise segments, and shows active 2025-2026 strategic activity: a partnership with Schneider National (NYSE: SNDR) for 90-day used-truck warranties, a partnership with Truckers Against Trafficking, the appointment of Jason Cluck as VP of Variable Operations, and the launch of the Commercial Lane podcast in October 2025. Its competitive position rests on a national dealer network, brand longevity in commercial trucking, and integrated claims handling that allows dealers to outsource post-sale service burden.
