When Mac Tools distributor Cody Pick started the business, he bought a used truck, a 16' 2013 Freightliner MT45, and there have been a few issues with it including going into limp mode one day.
“You’re never dealing with just selling tools,” he says. “But we didn’t get into business for it to be easy. Nothing that’s worth it is ever easy.”
He tackles the challenges by putting out the immediate fires, letting others wait that can wait, and not letting on to his customers that he’s having any issues. He encourages other tool dealers who may be just starting out not to get frustrated with those challenging days.
“Don’t get down on yourself. Be fluid and roll with the punches,” he says.
