In this episode of the Commercial Vehicle Pro Podcast, host Candy McCollum sits down with Kathryn Schifferle, Founder and Chief Vision Officer of Work Truck Solutions, to recap a landmark year.

2025 was defined by a strategic balance of smarter technology and human connection.

Power, Work Truck Solutions has focused on bringing transparency to an opaque market.

Key highlights include:

  1. Strategic Partnerships: The company’s major expansion with Ford Pro, supporting all dealers enrolled in the Ford Pro CVC program and new initiatives with GM and Stellantis.
  2. Solving Supply Chain Pain: Progress on the OEM bailment pool pilot to improve inventory visibility.
  3. Leading the Way: Reflections on Kathryn’s recognition as one of Automotive News’ 100 Leading Women.
  4. A Look Ahead: A sneak peek at a major technology solution launching early in 2026 that will revolutionize the commercial vehicle ecosystem.

Tune in for highlights on how Work Truck Solutions balanced aggressive technological integration with a "people-first" approach to navigate a complex commercial vehicle market.
