Selling truck parts in the independent aftermarket requires a willingness to accept a variety of customers. Thriving in the aftermarket requires the ability to support all of their individual needs, understanding the differences between private fleets and owner-operators. Service garages and municipalities.
Great distributors know how to monitor a market and proactively support its ebbs and flows. They know how to identify what makes a customer unique and develop stocking and selling procedures to support that customer’s needs.
Weldon Parts is no stranger to unique customer segments. With stores stretching from Florida’s east coast to the Texas panhandle, few independent distributors cover more square miles. Even fewer distributors have more expertise at what it takes to service any customer, any time.
Thanks to decades of experience in so many different markets and a corporate management structure that drives empowerment and customer-driven decision-making throughout its 17 locations, Weldon Parts is one of the aftermarket’s most versatile operations. It is also now a four-time finalist for the Trucks, Parts, Service Distributor of the Year Award, making the list in 2011, 2016, 2021.
President Dave Settles is humble about the recognition.
