J&J Truck Bodies & Trailers, a division of Somerset Welding & Steel, based in Somerset, Pennsylvania, has appointed Michael Schweitzer as Mid-Atlantic region sales manager.
Schweitzer has two decades of sales experience in the truck industry, having worked for Navistar and Rush Enterprises in the Midwest and South, according to a news release from J&J Truck Bodies.
“I grew up around trucks,” Schweitzer says. “My whole life, I’ve been around trucks—even as a little kid. My first job was as a lot boy on a used truck yard.”
J&J Truck Bodies & Trailers is a leading manufacturer of dump bodies, trailers and custom transportation solutions. J&J Truck Equipment supplies field service cranes bodies, air and hydraulic operated lubrication service units, hydraulic systems, mechanic bodies, flatbeds and snow removal equipment.
“J&J was very interesting to me because of the quality of product,” says Schweitzer, who joined the company in February. “There’s a sense of pride that the people I work with have that is very telling. You don’t see that in a lot of other places. You definitely don’t see that in a lot of the bigger companies, and we’re a big company. It’s just real nice to see that. I did not expect to see that type of attitude.”
His territory includes Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and a portion of Delaware.
“Michael is an excellent addition to the J&J family and will be a valuable asset, not only to our organization but also to our customers in the Mid-Atlantic region,” says Michael Riggs, senior vice president of Somerset Welding & Steel. “His experience, skillset and drive will provide value to our customers and our organization.”
