The Commercial Vehicle Industry – Truly a Community

Having recently returned from Work Truck Week (WTW), I was reminded about how much the commercial vehicle ecosystem is truly a community. Walking the show floor, having conversations with so many people definitely reiterated how much we’re all in this together. And beyond that thought, it also emphasized the impact of forging relationships because they are at the center of what enables us to build toward a better future in the industry in which we’re all passionate.  

A couple real-life examples that stress the importance of cultivating our commercial vehicle community include Scelzi having one of their enhanced service body trucks in the Ford Pro booth on the show floor in Indianapolis, or Will Brogan’s article about the power of partnerships (and you can read more about both of these in the April issue). And finally, there was an example shared by Caleb Pontius from Rockport Commercial Vehicles at WTW. He mentioned a van body manufacturer meeting composed of companies that are competitors during the year, but in this meeting they talk about challenges they’re facing and opportunities to do things better. Now that’s a unique approach that doesn’t happen in other industries – and it’s what makes our industry so different and special. 

Continue to seek out ways to further your connections and build YOUR future.
