Women In Trucking Association Announces its May Member of the Month
Plover, WI (May 1, 2017) – Women In Trucking Association (WIT) announces Paige Eber as its May Member of the Month. Paige was recently promoted to District Service Manager for Rush Truck Centers, covering its dealership locations in South Georgia.
Paige joined Rush Truck Centers in June 2015 as part of Rush Enterprises’ New Graduate program, following her graduation from Clemson University. Later that year, Paige joined the company’s Leadership Development Program, an 18-month management training program. In that program, she spent six months each in service, sales/administration, and in parts. This program is a comprehensive rotation which provides training on the full scope of managing a dealership, including the inner workings of each department, and how all departments are connected and dependent upon each other.
Paige completed her first six months with Rush Enterprises working at Rush Truck Center-Charlotte and then transferred to the Service department in the company’s Richmond, Virginia location, where she immediately took charge in every capacity she was able to assist, including stepping in as interim Service Manager role for three months. With the guidance of the Director of Service and the Regional Service Manager, even with Paige’s brief tenure at both Rush Enterprises and in the industry, she performed remarkably well.
“We are proud of Paige and her accomplishments and for embodying our company values of excellence, fairness, productivity, and positive attitude. We are looking forward to her continued bright future,” said Rich Ryan, Senior Vice President of Navistar Dealerships at Rush Enterprises.
Victor Cummings, Rush Enterprises’ Vice President of Service Operations, said, “Paige’s efforts, dedication and leadership have helped to build more cohesive relationships between each department she worked, even though she was the one in training. Every manager that has worked with her has been complimentary of her work ethic, ability, and overall positive influence on her peers and our customers. Having had the pleasure to work with Paige for almost two years, I can say with confidence that she is an exceptional young professional and will no doubt go far in her career. I am happy for Paige and very proud of her.”
