Truck One Source and its subsidiary Load King
“ We ’ ve realized that there ’ s huge value and opportunity to help customers work towards their goals while infrastructure for all-electric fleets evolves . Many of our customers are working towards their own electrification goals , so we ’ ve leveraged our expertise to create a hybrid solution that is a viable option to bridge the gap .”
As our conversation draws to a close , Ryan outlines his hopes for the business moving forward . “ I see as much opportunity today as I did when I joined eight years ago ,” he proposes . “ We ’ re in an interesting moment in our industry as demand continues to rise , especially with electrification around the corner . We need to consider not only the impact of electrification on our trucks , but also the wider environment in terms of infrastructure , which is seeing investment at a national level .
“ I see several years of further growth for Custom Truck ,” he concludes . “ Our aim is to grow thoughtfully by adding locations , creating more roles for people to step into leadership positions , and making the necessary investments to continue taking care of our customers . As we strengthen our relationships with suppliers and create a great culture for both our customers and employees , we continue to work towards being an industrial icon for specialty trucks .” ■
