I started out as a delivery driver and at first it was a lot to take in. Regardless, I enjoy working in this industry and at McCandless because it is not monotonous, there is something new to learn every day!
You realize how intricate transportation is and you gain a larger scope and appreciation of the industry as you move up and around! The growing knowledge I have received and the individuals that I interact with on a daily basis make my job fun and enjoyable!

Peggy Fuentes, Parts Admin Assistant
As with any industry, change and growth must be embraced for it to persevere, for any business to survive! Being part of a profession that not only challenges me daily has put me in a position to always embrace change and growth. What's been so rewarding is I truly don't know what I will expect on a day-to-day operation, this world moves through these vehicles and I get to play a small part in solving obstacles that impede just that.
I am grateful to arrive at work and be greeted by a team that is there to help each other out, a team in which I can rely on, a team that I have built professional bonds and friendships with, and a team that I can learn from.

McCandless is a family-owned business that cares about the employees. It is a pleasure coming to work knowing that you can make a contribution not only in your job, but maybe help a fellow employee with their job! After more than 30 years in the industry, I don't go to work thinking that it will be the same old thing. There are surprises around every corner, especially in the truck world.

I entered the McCandless Organization with no experience as a diesel mechanic. Along my journey, I learned about diesel mechanics and all aspects of the truck industry and advanced within the company. I have learned from great people who have become lifelong friends and more like family.
I currently manage the Idealease location in Grand Junction, which is a perfect fit. I maintain a relationship with some great lease/rental customers, and I still get to go in the shop and get my hands dirty. I enjoy passing on what I have learned to the next generation.
