Generally, that team is very knowledgeable of that equipment. They’re knowledgeable of the products and they can get answers for any question you have for them.

Equipment Manager, Construction

I know I could pick up my phone right now and he’d answer the phone. He’s that kind of person where he is really dialed into his business and it’s at a very personal level. I love that part because I’m that way with vendors, I want them to know that you can text me at 10 o’clock at night. I’ll respond if you need something.

Fixed Operation Director, Automotive

We basically give our rep a purchase order, and we say, this is what we need. It gets to him, he makes sure the orders are put in, and then makes sure it is delivered to us with no problems, he gets us better than Amazon level service

General Manager, Construction

I’ve heard a lot of great things about them from other people, other coal mines, and other customers out here; just saying if I ever needed anything to reach out to them, and they would take care of us and they have definitely done that.

Manager, Mining

I maybe talk to my rep once every three or four months. So, it’s really hands-off. It’s basically that you have the relationship, but it runs itself. You don’t have to deal with it. If we need her, we can reach out to her, but she keeps things running pretty smooth.

Sr. Manager, Transport/Fleet

They’re always there, if we have an emergency, they jump on it right away. They put remote sensors on most of our tanks to identify just how much oil is used so that we never run out. They get remotely notified the oil is at a certain level at a particular location, and he automatically sends a delivery truck out there to fulfill the need.

Vice President of Fixed Operations, Automotive
