Employee Spotlight – Weston Rogers

Territory III Sales Manager

Weston covers Lift Truck Supply’s most western territory that includes – Temple, Belton, Killeen, Waco, Georgetown, and Round Rock.

Relatively new to the Central Texas region, Weston has been diligently making contacts and meeting the business community for the last year and a half.

1.  Why do you think Toyota forklifts are routinely voted the best forklift brand?

Toyota has built its name around quality, durability, and reliability. Customers know that when they purchase/lease a Toyota forklift they are getting the best piece of equipment in the industry. I also believe that Toyota’s dedication to  having the lowest cost of ownership, as well as their dedication to pushing the forklift industry to being safer with standard features such as SAS (System of Active Stability) let’s customers know that Toyota doesn’t just care about selling equipment, but also helping to create a safer and more efficient workplace.

2.  How does it feel when a material handling solution you’ve recommended for a client completely exceeds their expectations?

Anytime I am able to help a client improve their efficiency is exciting for me. This past spring I was able to work with a client that has always purchased used forklifts and therefore had a lot of downtime and high service bills. We talked with them about going to a lease program to put new equipment in their facility. Last year they ordered and put 5 new Toyota lifts into their facility and are looking to add 5 more this year. Their service bills are almost non-existent now (outside of regularly scheduled PM’s) and they love the way the Toyota’s operate in their facility. 

3.  When you’re not on the job, how do you like to spend your time?

When I’m not working I spend my time with my wife Grace and our dog Buddy. We spend a lot of our free time enjoying Baylor sporting events with our family and friends… Sic Em Bears! If I’m not supporting Baylor athletics or helping my wife around the house then I like to work on my golf game when I get a chance. So when the weather is nice you can find me on the driving range or playing a round at a local course.

If you’re from Temple, Belton, Killeen, Waco, Georgetown, or Round Rock and need recommendations or quotes on forklifts please call Weston at 214.202.3313.
