VTE appoints new leadership

Vocational Trucks and Equipment (VTE) has announced a series of leadership appointments to support the company’s growth.

Scott Dols, Matt McLeish and Robby DeHart have been named chairman of the board of directors, CEO and chief commercial officer (CCO), respectively.

Dols brings more than three decades in the environmental services sector to VTE, and the company says he has played a key role throughout his career in shaping and supporting the waste industry through business leadership and service to national organizations.

“With more than 200 employees and a presence in nearly 20 states, VTE has entered an exciting new chapter,” Dols says. “This team is more than ready to lead the way, and I couldn’t be more confident in their ability to build on our momentum and take the company to even greater heights.”
