The marketing team is proud to present new items, but we need your help! Tell us what you would like to see hit the marketing portal in 2024 by emailing marketing@thetruckpeople.com. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
The coming of a new year is often associated with peaceful times with family and friends. However, all of us can be impacted directly or indirectly with the many stresses in our lives, and it’s great to know that help is available. WE want to remind everyone in our Worldwide Equipment family of two programs that can help us all.
The employee assistance program is free, confidential and available 24/7. Resources include:
• Family & Relationship Support
• Emotional Well-Being Support
• Financial Wellness Management
• Substance Abuse & Addiction Support
• Legal Assistance
• Physical Health Support
• Work & Career Advice
It starts with just a phone call. (800) 316-2796
The employee emergency fund is funded by generous employee donations each payday. This fund distributes money to employees who have experience significant financial hardships. These hardships include:
• Loss of residence due to flood or fire
• Significant medical bills beyond the scope of insurance coverage
• Personal tragedies prompting unplanned expenses.
• Other circumstances as deemed appropriate by senior management.
Local management may request donations from the fund. Requests are reviewed and approved by Scott Blevins. In 2023 WE distributed over $12k to individual employees for large variety of reasons.
WE University is an introduction, not only to Sales, but the WE Culture that is meant to offer guidance and mentorship to Sales people new to Worldwide Equipment. There are three classes that each salesperson will be required to take within an eighteenmonth time line. The introduction class that is meant to cover all the basics to include Policy & Procedure, Sales Processes, Appraisals, and basic selling techniques and strategies that are geared to help build confidence and knowledge to be successful. Our goal is to train and educate our salespeople above and beyond basic product knowledge. WE want to ensure they are the best in the industry with promoting the entire dealership experience and how each department offers benefits to each increasing our enterprise value to our customers.
“WE University is an introduction to the WE Culture...”
WE Chattanooga body shop’s Willie McGlocklin’s daughter Anslee’s boyfriend Colt Sinor , is a two time cancer survivor who returned to Carson Newman this year to continue playing football.

Bobby plans on spending his time enjoying life with his family, friends, and lots of fishing. For us, this was a bittersweet occasion, but definitely well deserved. Bobby will surely be missed on an everyday occasion, but this is not Goodbye, only ‘til we meet again.... Family is for always.

These guys were amazing! I got a 3 hours to derate in Charlotte and made it down to Worldwide just before they closed. Ashley diagnosed the truck immediately to an after-treatment issue. Despite being backlogged, they were able to get me in the next morning. I owe these guys BIG time as I had a high valu urgent delivery load. While waiting the next morning, Adam in Sales had shown me a truck that was on the lot. Very close to purchasing that truck for the fleet as well. Adam was incredibly informed, overly helpful and a pleasure to do business with. This Worldwide was incredible and I will absolutely do business with them in the future. Thanks for everything you guys!
