Service Coordinators Embody Never Stand Alone

March 12, 2024

For David Neese, a senior Service Coordinator at ES, being successful in this industry is more than metrics each month, quarter, or year.

“ES is incredibly unique,” stated David, in a recent podcast interview. “Yes, we look at numbers, after all, owners still need to get miles and make money. But our primary focus is on the person inside the cab, not just the truck and equipment.”

“We’re looking through the windshield with them,” Neese added, “and that is one of the special things about our service coordinator role.” In many ways, the Service Coordinators at ES are the embodiment of the Never Stand Alone mentality.

Investment in relationships has been a proven formula since ES began in 2006. It has allowed our community to gain access to equipment, financing, and support, despite the ebbs and flow of truck and freight markets.

While ES is known for its business components, Neese was quick to point out that “we are a people company.” Success in trucking rides on several different factors, but it is driven by the men and women behind the wheel.

We highly encourage those interested in truck ownership or expanding their fleet in 2024, to join the ES team at SITE 2024. This 2-day event is designed to prepare you to take that next step and set yourself up for success.  Reserve your space here or call us at 888-495-5755

Navigating The Truck Market With Danny Vernon and ES

February 29, 2024

You don’t have to spend long around the ES team to realize that we are all about creating advantages for our community members. From day one, we have worked hard to put together a vendor network, programs, tools, and support that help owner-operators and fleet owners drive success. For Danny Vernon, Director of Truck Sales and Finance, all of the advantages that ES has created can be summed up as “access to opportunity.”

Anyone who has been in trucking for the past few years knows that getting access to equipment and financing has been a challenge. Step foot on a dealership lot and you will hear that new trucks won’t be available for weeks, if not months. On the off chance you find one, you may run into additional barriers like high interest rates and the need for a stellar credit score.

Amidst all of the challenges of the current truck market, ES has helped fleet owners and owner-operators gain access to equipment and build their trucking businesses on attitude, aptitude, work history, and work ethic, a factor that “removes barriers,” according to Danny.

But access to opportunity with ES isn’t just about getting equipment and finding a financing partner. “Having access to equipment is one thing, but having a support system once you are up and running makes it easier to jump the hurdles that come your way,” stated Danny in a recent interview.

This is the backbone of what we refer to as Relationship Lending. Danny went on to say, “We are in it together, and each part has to work to be successful – the owner, ES, and the carrier.”

This philosophy has been a guiding principle and one that has allowed our team to help countless drivers take the leap into ownership. For all of the details about the Path To Ownership program and Danny’s outlook on the truck market, spend a few minutes listening to the podcast linked below.

And if you are interested in jumpstarting your business in 2024, you should reserve your space at SITE 2024. This free 2-day event is designed for those exploring ownership, whether it be becoming an owner-operator or expanding your existing fleet, and is a great opportunity to connect, learn, and grow. For questions regarding financing or the SITE event, please call us at 888-495-5755

“This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for anyone exploring ownership,” stated Jeff Tacker, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Commercial Officer for ES. “Most events are designed to sell you something, ours was created to help you build a future in trucking.”

The goal of SITE 2024 is to bring together all the pieces that are needed to launch a successful trucking business, including financing, operational support, carrier networks, a community of others who are invested in helping you succeed, and much more. “We wanted to create an event that would help people stack the deck in their favor,” stated Tacker. “We all know how challenging this business can be, but when you have the right people in your corner and advantages at your fingertips, the sky’s the limit.”

When it comes to starting a trucking business, having the right people and pieces in place can make all the difference. At ES, we believe that from day one you should Never Stand Alone. If you are considering starting your own trucking business or expanding your existing one, you should join us at SITE 2024. You will be hard-pressed to find a community that is more committed to helping you succeed than the one that we have created here at ES.

Registration for SITE 2024 is now open and can be accessed using the link below. For questions regarding the event, the ES Community, or help getting registered, please call us at 888-495-5755

Get To Know Our Service Coordinators: Allen Fisher

January 12, 2024

So much in trucking revolves around business, profitability, and ultimately success. It is a recipe that many organizations have tried to perfect over the years, and it is one that the ES team continues to improve upon. The secret ingredient for Allen Fisher and other members of the ES Service Coordinator team, is their focus on the person behind the wheel just as much as the truck and the business components. 

Allen Fisher


In Allen’s case, he has seen the importance of relationships stretching all the way back to his grandfather’s trucking business, where the industry became part of his DNA. The passion instilled at a young age led to 18 years behind the wheel, where he persevered through the challenges of this industry, and learned the value, firsthand, of having a helping hand – in business and in life.

“We are just people doing business with people,” Allen said in our most recent podcast. “Relationships, regardless of industry are all the same…they all take time and consistency. And that is what we try to bring to the table every day as Service Coordinators.”

The willingness to find the answer, and use the resources available, is one of the biggest benefits of joining the ES community, according to Allen. “You don’t just get a partner that wants to see you succeed in business, but one that wants you to succeed in life.

We encourage you to connect with Allen and other members of the ES team anytime you need help with business-related items, or if you just need a friendly voice on the other side of the phone. 

We are proud to have Allen as part of the ES team, his experience and knowledge are an incredible asset to anyone in the ES community.
