Even small customizations to your truck can make a huge difference -- just ask Mac Tools distributors Ed and Maria Lee. To separate their space from the customers, the Lees added an L-shaped desk for their main computer and a second countertop across from it.
“It’s one thing you don’t think about when you first get started in the business,” Maria explains. “After being on the road all day long ... it’s definitely helpful just for your well-being to know that this is my space.”
No matter what this industry throws at them—an unfortunate start or even a new addition to the truck in the form of a Jack Russell pup named Max—the Lees continue to feel fortunate.
“We’ve been extremely blessed,” Ed says. “This was the hand that was dealt to us, so we played it the best we could. I feel very fortunate.”
