Arrow Truck Sales Ramping Up Trailer Efforts

Fleet Equipment, Jun 2005

Arrow Truck Sales Inc. announced new initiatives to more than double its trailer sales by the end of 2005. In support of the plan, Arrow placed Kevin Schuller in the newly created position of trailer purchasing manager, reporting to Brent Hey, national trailer manager. Schuller will assist Hey in broadening the company's supplier network and trailer inventory.

"This new position is just one part of our overall commitment to strengthen our trailer efforts," said Pete Monize, Arrow's vice president of purchasing and wholesale sales. "In addition, we are streamlining our administrative, transportation, and accounting processes and adding support resources." Monize added that the company had hired a transportation specialist to facilitate distribution of the trailers to the company's retail locations, as well as refine income statements to increase focus on trailer sales.

Schuller said, "We're going to focus on hard-to-find, high-quality niche units, such as refrigerated trailers, flatbeds and specialty trailers." The company's current trailer supplier network includes end users, major fleets and OEMs.
