Has anyone selected a town to be recognized as the truck body capital of the world? The mayor of Dunn NC thinks it's a Dunn deal.
During the September meeting, the Dunn city council proclaimed the city the truck body capital of the world in honor of Godwin Manufacturing, one of the city's largest employers.
“This proclamation is to let them know that the City of Dunn appreciates them and thanks them for continuing to have the two manufacturing locations and their executive offices in the City of Dunn,” Mayor Oscar Harris said.
Pat Godwin started the company in a backyard in Dunn. The company now has operation in Kentucky and Ohio, affiliates in Puerto Rico, and warehouses across the nation in addition to its Dunn operations.
