What Do Altec Associates Say When They See a Truck?

Some say we deliver equipment. But we deliver far more than that. We deliver the spirit of possibility. Altec equipment can be found just about anywhere in the world, doing everything from restoring power to installing 5G towers or even putting up theater signs in the middle of a busy downtown street.

While our trucks signify the essential work our customers do to keep our communities going, they also represent the hard work our associates put into designing and manufacturing these units. When our equipment performs, when it pulls its weight on a job site, it does so because our people pulled their weight at Altec and because our customers pulled their weight in the field.

And what happens when Team Altec sees these trucks in the field? We sat down with a few of our associates at our Roanoke location to find out.

Keeping the Lights On

Anthony Wade, a manufacturing associate, says both he and his 13-year-old son enjoy seeing Altec trucks out and about. For his son, it’s a moment of pure excitement, but for Anthony, it’s a sense of accomplishment and pride in the equipment he builds every day.

“It really makes me feel good to be a part of this company, that I can help in storms and things like that, and make sure that we get lights on,” Wade said.

Seeing the Big Picture

Sarah Lubash, group lead over dress out, a section of finish near the end of a truck’s completion, has been at Altec for five years. Sarah says seeing Altec trucks out working helps her realize the impact her work has for the company overall.

“It’s fun not only seeing the trucks that we build here at this location, but also trucks that are built in other locations, just so you can understand the gravity of the business,” she said.

Customer First

Dan Taylor, a Stock Room Group Leader, looks to see the Altec logo on every truck he sees. Dan wants to know Altec is helping both our customers and the people they serve.

“I want to see the Altec logo somewhere on that truck, so I know we’re taking care of the order, we’re taking care of the customer, that’s taking care of their customer to get the job done,” Dan said.
