SmartTruck says the national accounts position was created to focus SmartTruck’s sales efforts on establishing, supporting, and growing relationships with the largest U.S. private and for-hire fleets. A member of the SmartTruck sales team since 2013, Pope was considered “the best person for this new position, given his past experience and success in building relationships with these carriers,” Smith says.
“With SmartTruck’s continued growth in the trucking industry, accompanied by an ever-growing industry focus on fuel economy, we are serving increasingly larger customers with complex needs,” Smith adds. “Our company is now better structured to meet the needs of these larger fleets, and Ron’s experience is perfectly suited to captain these important relationships.”
A seasoned veteran in the trucking industry, with more than 40 years of experience, Pope was previously vice president of national accounts at Southern Cal Transport, SmartTruck says.
