Weir joined the company 34 years ago and held a variety of positions within the organization prior to serving as its sales manager. Before joining J&J, he worked at Solar Fuel and taught welding classes in the evening. He also served in the United States Army.
“I have enjoyed the work, the people and the challenges during my tenure at J&J, but I am excited about beginning the next chapter in my life,” Weir says. “I wish the company and its employees continued success.”
Weir also was an active member of several distributor councils, where he shared his experience and expertise in the truck equipment industry.
Since announcing his retirement, Weir has guided the sales team to ensure a smooth transition upon his departure, J&J says.
“Jim’s accomplishments and commitment to our company helped to increase our profitability, expand our product lines and allowed us to develop strong relationships with our customers and vendors. He will be missed,” says Bill Riggs, president of Somerset Welding & Steel.
A farewell event is planned for the evening of Feb. 2 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
J&J Truck Equipment supplies field-service crane bodies, air and hydraulic-operated lubrication service units, hydraulic systems, mechanic bodies, flatbeds and snow removal equipment. In addition, its service and repair department provides custom welding and fabrication, dump and trailer body repair and painting and a wide variety of other services.
