LAUREL, NJ--(Marketwire - Dec 20, 2011) - ARI^®, a leading global fleet services provider specializing in complex car and truck fleets, today announced the first-ever recipients of its Auctioneer of Distinction award.

• Ron Janacek, representing ARI vehicles at ADESA Sarasota

• Joe Velez, representing ARI vehicles at ADESA Los Angeles

"These three award winners have been honored because they do much more than just facilitate the auction," said ARI Vice President Vehicle Remarketing Bob Graham.

These are the types of individuals that ARI is proud to partner with."
