Frustrated with chasing ghost inventory or apologizing for parts you never had a chance of getting? We get it — nothing kills trust faster than being made the liar in the room.
At E.L.M., you’ll finally have $1.8M in uptime-critical parts on the shelf — the ones fleets, loggers, miners, and construction crews actually need, not chrome filler. We know what to stock because we fix trucks every single day in our own bays.
This role is about taking that expertise on the road as our first dedicated parts-focused outside sales seat — building on nearly three decades of shop credibility and strong over-the-counter sales.
If you’re ready to run a territory like it’s your own franchise, keep reading.
What You’ll Do
- Build and grow a protected book of business across fleets, logging, mining, construction, and trucking operators north of Hwy 8 and into the U.P.
- Leverage $1.8M in stocked inventory — chosen by mechanics who know what actually fails in the field — to solve downtime problems.
- Represent E.L.M. — now an MOHD (HDA Truck Pride) distributor — in the field as we expand our heavy-duty parts sales presence.
- Collaborate directly with Micah (Sales Lead/Parts Manager) and our service team to make sure your word is always backed.
- Run your territory like a franchise: plan your route, own your accounts, and bring uptime solutions that stick.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven success in outside sales (HD truck, logging, mining, or construction parts experience preferred).
- Solid knowledge of heavy-duty applications: trucks, trailers, cooling, aftertreatment, powertrain.
- Self-motivated, independent, and hungry to own a clean territory.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills (shop floor to fleet office).
- Willingness to travel across Northern WI and the U.P. — with a company vehicle provided.
Why Join E.L.M. Repair & Refrigeration?
- Inventory That Backs You — $1.8M in uptime-critical parts (including our own Charge Air Cooler line), selected by the same techs who fix trucks in our shop daily.
- Dedicated Parts Seat — Be the first rep focused solely on growing our outside parts business, while building on the foundation of an established sales and trailer division.
- Comp You Can Count On — $85k - $200k/year: Base + GP-tied commission, clear accelerators, and adjusted rates during your ramp-up so you’re supported while building your book. (Base $55k–$95k, uncapped GP commission with accelerators)
- Protected Territory — North of Hwy 8 & the U.P. are yours to grow, without counter staff nibbling your accounts.
- Family-Owned, People-First — We value you for who you are and what you do, not just the numbers you bring in.
- Fleet-Proven Shop Credibility — For nearly three decades, fleets have trusted us to keep them rolling; now you’ll carry that trust into the field.
The Skeptic’s Bridge
We’ll be straight: outside sales for parts is new for us, but it’s not uncharted territory — we already have a proven outside sales presence representing our shop and trailer division. What’s different here is focus: this seat is 100% about heavy-duty parts. No messy book, no ghost promises, and leadership that knows uptime because we’ve lived it in the bays. You’ll have a clean slate, a deep inventory, and a team that’s betting big on making this succeed — with you in the driver’s seat.
