Doug Pennington is part of a network of distributors in his area, that meets quarterly on one of their trucks to talk business. Doug says "Mac does a good job getting people together … we're out here with the customer, and our communication with each other is vital."
Occasionally they all bring their trucks to a "truck rodeo." They gather with their families at a park, cook some burgers and tour each others' trucks to see how everyone displays their tools.
There's a prize for the best-looking truck, but the real prize is what they learn from each other about which tools are selling. "We walk around with notepads (and) the next Monday we're all buying."
