Trucks & Parts adds to leadership team

Trucks & Parts, a Tampa, Florida-based dealership catering to the truck and equipment needs of the solid waste market, has made two additions to its leadership team: Greg McCarty and Mike Derr.

McCarty joins Trucks & Parts as inventory procurement manager, bringing more than two decades of expertise in refuse truck sales, product management and project leadership.

McCarty’s career spans 15 years at Oshkosh, Minnesota-based McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Inc., where he held positions such as national accounts manager and senior business manager. He later spent seven years at JCB as North American general manager for product sales and major accounts.

Derr steps into the role of director of business development, bringing 18 years of industry expertise, primarily from his tenure at McNeilus, to the Trucks & Parts team. Over the course of his career, Derr has held a variety of leadership roles, from inside sales manager to director of sales, where he most recently managed the high-profile WM account.

“We’re excited to welcome both Greg and Mike to the Trucks & Parts team,” Trucks & Parts President Brion Macguire says. “Greg’s expertise in vehicle acquisition and inventory management, along with Mike’s extensive experience in business development and customer engagement, will be instrumental as we continue to build on nearly 75 years of strong partnerships with our vehicle sources and clients. Greg’s leadership will ensure we secure the cleanest, best-maintained trucks on the market, while Mike’s focus on expanding our customer base will drive our strategic growth—reinforcing what sets Trucks & Parts apart from the competition.”

Founded in 1950 as the nation’s first garbage truck dealer, Trucks & Parts has been a major player in the solid waste and vocational truck industries for nearly 75 years.

“Our exponential growth has been fueled by assembling the best team in the industry, and Greg and Mike’s addition continues that tradition," Trucks & Parts CEO Scott Dols says. "At every level, our success is driven by having the most talented people in the waste industry. We’re confident that Greg and Mike will play key roles in helping us maintain that trajectory as we continue to expand.”
