Congratulations to Truck Care Chemical & Supply (Bob Gruetzmache), top distributor for the first quarter of 2011. Truck Care Chemical & Supply took control of a business opportunity when they saw all the oil field equipment moving into the Greenbrier, Arkansas area. Brian rented a building on the main highway through town, put his phone number on the sign and put some equipment in. Within a short time Brain was spending most of his time in Greenbrier, while his daughter Terrell ran their Greenwood, Mississippi store. Last year the business had grown to where they bought the land and built a new building that they are now in.

Brian believes his customers have been his best reference for growing his business. "Our word is our bond", says Brian. Also, being honest with customers and having a good product they can stand behind is what helps Truck Care grow. One thing he has learned over time is that you have to manage your customers like you manage your people, not all customers are good for your business. Lastly, remember what your value is and don’t let your customers control your price.

Brian appreciates Hydro Tek taking action on any manufacturer related issues.
