West Virginia Pilot Inspection
We kicked off the week at our Tennessee location in Whites Creek with an exhilarating inspection of our West Virginia Pilot build. Joining the inspection team were Dave Wentzel, Viking-Cives Midwest General Manager; Robert Scott, Branch Manager Whites Creek; Clay Slipis, Quality Assurance; and Jordan Estep, Regional Salesman. We were also joined by Brent Sturdivant, Justin Godwin, and JD Haller from the WVDOH Equipment Division, along with Beau Newlons from Newlons International. The inspection was a resounding success, giving Viking-Cives Midwest the green light to start producing the remaining 30 WVDOH trucks. We are thrilled to collaborate with the West Virginia Division of Highways and look forward to a prosperous partnership!
