The most rewarding part for me is that we can go out and make a difference on these technicians.
Pride in Preparation and Performance
Jim's role demands immense self-reliance and personal drive as he delivers training sessions across 158 locations. He takes immense pride in pushing through the everyday challenges of constant travel, ensuring he delivers a top tier Kalmar Training Academy class.
For Jim, there are no excuses when it comes to being prepared and making every session worth the investment for dealers and technicians alike.

"It's important to conduct yourself in a professional way... give them factual information about the trucks, and do a good job delivering so long after you're gone, it sticks in their head."
