Oliver did not let there sales staff go. Oliver still has a sales staff that can and do sell directly from Hohenwald to buyers that do not have a dealership in their state.

Ok, good to know. I just remember Rodney saying at the rally that the sales dept was closed and that Phil Andrews and Jason Lindsey were no longer with the company. But I think Anita has been there a long time. 👍 Things have changed a lot, obviously.

Anita was our sales person in 2015.

The sales department never closed.

Phil Andrews left over a year ago to take a job at Pella Windows. Jason Lindsey left because a different job opportunity arose. Anita has been there since late 2014 or early 2015.

There is nobody still working there that was present when the first run of trailers were produced (2007-2009) nor during the earliest of the second run (2014 and 2015).

I heard recently from Jason Essary :

"Just an FYI, Rodney is transitioning over to a new position within the Oliver companies and I will be taking on his role here.  \He has already started training in his new position and will be here in a limited capacity the rest of this year."

Congrats on all the promotions and welcome to the new folks!! Look forward to meeting everyone.

I did meet the "new" Jason (lol) when we had some work completed recently at the mothership.

The "new" Jason has got some big shoes to fill, but, the "old" Jason will still be around with the Service area still reporting under him (i.e. the "new Jason" will report to the "old" Jason).

Obviously, the "old" Jason also has some pretty big shoes to fill in replacing Rodney.  But, even Rodney (in his new job) will still be around in order to answer questions that the "old" Jason might have.

I'll second @Shawna and Scott in wishing all those involved congratulations and the best of luck.

Yes, and the Sales staff will also report to Jason Essary as he is now the Director of Sales and Service. 

All the best to everyone in their new roles at Oliver. One thing for sure change is constant at Oliver. 😄

And she was our sales associate in 2020! 😊She really made our purchase fun and seamless.
