Description

Do you want to be a National Fleet Representative at Autocar?

It takes a special kind of person to be a part of this business. We are privately owned and expect our team members to act with an owner mindset: Relentless about creating value for the customer. Dogged about finding efficiencies and eliminating waste. Standing arm and arm with the rest of the team until the job is done—and ready to do it again the next day, with a smile.

It is not easy to do things differently in this industry. But we do it—because we are passionate about improving the lives of the drivers that use our trucks.

What will you do? The National Fleet Representative will play a pivotal role in driving sales growth by managing key fleet accounts across the country. This position requires a seasoned sales professional with hands-on experience in the vocational truck industry, particularly within refuse hauling, who can effectively build relationships with major fleet customers. This role involves developing strategies to meet the needs of large fleet operations, with an emphasis on understanding vocational applications and truck component functionality.

The Ideal candidate will be a self-starter, intellectually curious, entrepreneurial, and operate with the highest ethical standards. This candidate understands that selling today is about being prepared, investigating, and data mining. Can understand the customer's business model in depth and gain customers' trust through hard work. We do not sell trucks; we partner with our customers and provide the right tools for their business.
