“We run Volvo Trucks because of the dependability of the product and the service from our dealer, Nacarato Volvo.  A few years ago we decided to switch to JOST 5th wheels because of the safety and ease of maintenance built into the design.  JOST 5th wheels have proven to be a perfect fit with our Volvo Trucks.  Within the next few months, we will be trading in the first trucks that we bought with the JOST wheels and have never had to rebuild one.  In fact we have only had to adjust a couple of the units, and we constantly had to adjust our previous brand.  With JOST on our trucks, I have no 5th wheel worries.”

Please feel free to forward my comments. We have had great success with our applications of the Jost fifth wheel products with our customer here in Michigan. We have sold many units with the Jost wheels with complete satisfaction from all parties. Thanks for all you support in the past and we look forward to working together in the future.

This letter is in regards to the landing gear that your company manufactures for transport trailers. I had a trailer assigned to me a few days ago that was equipped with your landing gear. It is so well made and strong I was really impressed by the overall design of this landing gear so much so that I felt like I had to write and express my feelings to you. I wish all of our trailers were equipped with JOST. Thank you for a good product, I work for Martin Transport, Inc.

Sincerely,

Robert A. Michiels

Marty, Thank you. I was definitely the value recipient of the training. Making the guys available is necessary, but I am sure it will pay off tenfold down the road. I appreciate you looking into the training in North Carolina for me also.

Your expertise and professionalism is clearly evident. The class was short enough to keep their attention yet thorough enough that they will be comfortable when they encounter their first Jost fifth wheel situation.

Thank you for the books.

Please feel free to forward this to your boss. I feel lucky to have a wonderfully qualified Jost representative. Jost should also be made aware of the excellent representation that you provide in the field.

Thank you Rich.  It was nice to talk to you as well.  I thought your presentation was outstanding the next day.  The simplicity of the Jost design is remarkable and I will always try to move a customer into your product first.  Please say hello to Mike when you see him, and thanks for the link.

Great and thanks! You are consistent!!  Always right there!  Thank you for your immediate response! 

If you will recall, Marty filled in for us in Lake Geneva last year, less than an hours after another rep had an emergency, and scored the highest rating of all presenters!  Again, thanks for your support and especially your strong commitment to "our" mutual successes!  Particularly, I thank you for sending Mr. Marty to the PACCAR side and I will definitely tell him the same thing when I see him in Lake Geneva!

Hmmm! Maybe that is yet another reason why Jost was requested again this year.  I will not copy him on this email but will tell him personally how much he is appreciated!!

Thanks again and hope to see "you" soon also!!

Rich: I think Jost has done an outstanding job of attacking the marketplace, working with dealers, and customers, in familiarizing them with the merits of the Jost Product, and in a short period of time. I know that I have a better understanding of the Jost Product than any of your competition due to the time I was able to spend with you this past year on the Truck-Stop Tour.

Good Luck,
Ray


Dear Rich, I just wanted to drop you a note letting you know the current status of the Jost fifth wheels in our fleet(s).

We are currently running about 60 wheels Since changing our daycab and refuse spec to Jost on this years orders.  These as well as the two test heads that we installed back in march of 2000 are doing a great job and I'm confident the benefits will be realized down the road if and when it comes time to rebuild them. The easy access and simplicity of rebuilding them will be a real time and money saver. At this point in time R&J Trucking, John Brown Trucking and Southern Haulers LLC. will continue to spec the Jost Fifth Wheels on our tractors.

Scott Wilson came to our dealership on Wednesday, October 29th and did a fantastic job of training my salesmen on the Jost fifth wheels. Never have they been so interested in, and excited to sell a product. 

While Scott was still here, phone calls were being made to most of our major customers promoting the wheels and making deals. We have sold 3 plates since Wednesday. 

Scott was very thorough and professional in his presentation. He made sure that everyone received a copy of the fifth wheel catalog and a baseball hat.

The new truck salesmen are just as excited as we are.

We believe in the products that we sell, and are proud to add your name to the top of the list.
