WHY FLEET MANAGERS ARE SWITCHING TO US
The Image Truck Partners story is that of a father and son team who reunited 6 years after the sale of their family wholesale, distribution business. Their unique exposure to firsthand experience with fleet liquidation, along with a grounded understanding of negotiating both the buying and selling of used cars and trucks opened a new door to put their expertise to work. Both Ron and Todd’s careers have flourished under the premise of making the client the centerpiece of all of their strategic decisions. In doing such, Ron and Todd enable clients the opportunity to develop a joint partnership as opposed to the traditional adversarial relationship associated with fleet liquidation.

Needless to say, Erin’s attention to detail and ability to stay on top of numerous issues are easy when coming from her prior environment. Additionally, Erin has the perfect personality to fit in with our industry and the incredible people that it comes with.
