Salt Lake City, Utah Mac Tools Distributor J.D. Whittington's business approach revolves around two items: be positive and work hard. "Youv'e got to self-prep," he says. "You've got to get up and say, 'It's going to be a good day today,' Then spread it to your shops. You can be infectious, I don't care what anybody says."
Whittington puts in about 11 hours each day on the road -- sometimes more if he is stopping by shops with techs on second shift. Even at his last stop of the day Whittington is still enthusiastic and joking with customers as they enter the truck.
