Jonny McCormick

Day in the Life of a Truck Shop Technician

Most days, Jonny McCormick is stripping and wiring and cleaning and polishing Bulk trucks to get them ready for the next Bulk Equipment Corp. technicians that will be using them in the field. That may seem like a pretty easy feat to someone who doesn’t know what goes into preparing a truck so that when it rolls out, it’s ready to go to work.

But when you see a Bulk service truck roll by, what you’re really seeing is over 200 hours of labor and the efforts of a truck technician who believes that providing a clean, detailed, completely set up truck sets the tone for the new Bulk team member and makes them feel welcome. And you’re seeing the efforts of a solution-oriented team who understand the nuances that need to go into these trucks so that Bulk is being represented the best we can on the roads every single day.

Getting the details right day in and out on our Bulk service trucks isn’t without its challenges though. Often times, Jonny finds himself having to pivot and what he anticipates working on has to change based on priority. Pair that with the need to travel occasionally to execute inspections or implement new software into the fleet of trucks, and life as a truck shop technician is never boring. One thing that never changes though – it doesn’t matter which job is being worked on, Jonny is always striving to provide excellence every day.

“I try to come into work with a positive attitude and knowing that I’m going to take pride in what I do every day. If I’m not going to give something my best effort, why do it? Even if it’s just pressure washing you have to take pride in that. I care what people think about me and the work I perform – that’s my name on that.”

This attitude has served him well from day one, and he understands that every task, no matter how small, is important to the success of the company.
