AmeriQuest Transportation Services Builds Supply Management Sales Team

Three new transportation sales professionals join AmeriQuest in West, South Central, and Great Lakes Regions. Focus will be on sales of supply management programs offering savings up to 20% for fleet equipment and parts, including tires, trucks, and lubricants.

CHERRY HILL, NJ, January 22, 2010 – AmeriQuest Transportation Services, a leading provider of comprehensive fleet management services, has recruited three new sales directors for its Supply Management Program sales team. They are responsible for helping customers take advantage of the more than 70 purchasing programs AmeriQuest has in place with the transportation industry’s leading suppliers, according to William McCouch, Vice President, Business Development.

Kevin Fessler will handle sales in the West Region, which covers 11 Western states, including California, Colorado, and Washington. He comes to AmeriQuest from Ryder Transportation Services where he served as Customer Development Manager. He is a graduate of California State University, Fullerton.

James E. “Jim” Shea Jr. is responsible for customers in the South Central Region, which includes Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri. Prior to joining AmeriQuest, he served in managerial positions with Alcoa Wheel & Transportation Products and has a 20-plus-year sales career in the transportation industry.

“It’s a matter of resources. The value of our business model continues to prove itself especially in a troubled economy and as such we have recognized exponential growth. Our members needed support in their cost-cutting initiatives and we are there to help in full force now. A thorough understanding of our programs required seasoned experts who will act as our member’s personal consultant. Jim, Kevin and Bob were selected after a rigorous interview process to fill this very important role”, states William McCouch
