In this episode of the Commercial Vehicle Pro Podcast, host Candy McCollum sits down with Terry Williams, who leads heavy-duty sales at Work Truck Solutions and works closely with the Comvoy and Arcadium platforms.

With over three decades of experience in the heavy-duty market, Terry reflects on how he originally fell into the truck world, his early days learning the ropes in used trucks at Volvo, and why the fundamental human connection in this industry hasn't changed—even as digital tools evolve.

Terry also touches on his mentorship philosophy, his perspective as a dad shaping his leadership style, and his run for a seat on the Used Truck Association (UTA) Board of Directors for 2027.
