Bob Hoye drives a big ol’ GMC truck up from Little Rock to Indy!
Here at Mike's, we have a certain adventurer and sales guy par excellence named Bob Hoye, who is willing to do anything legal, moral, and ethical to help a customer. To say that Bob "goes the extra mile" is to understate the fact by a wide margin! In this case, Bob went the extra 1,200 miles!
Here are Bob's own words concerning a recent escapade of his that resulted in a customer more than satisfied with the exceptional service that Mike's GMC offers to residents of Indianapolis and the surrounding counties:
A good customer of mine was in a real bind when he found that he could not pull his 22,000 lb. trailer with his existing truck. It was the end of the year, and he needed a new truck purchased before 12/31/09 for tax advantages. There were no trucks capabile of towing this trailer available in the Midwest that could be delivered in time.
I was following a compnay on Twitter that specialized in used commercial trucks in Little Rock, Arkansas. I decided to give him a call, and he happened to have the perfect truck that could do the job. I purchased a plane ticket from Southwest Airlines with one-day notice.
The truck lot was located only 15 miles from the Little Rock Airport, and the owner picked me up. Since I was buying this 2006 GMC C4500 sight unseen with only a description from the owner and a few pictures, I didn't really know what to expect. As it turned out, the truck was even in better shape than I had expected!
Twelve hours later, I was back in Indy with the truck and delivered it to the customer on 12/31 at 1:00 pm. My customer bought me lunch. On a side note, I would like to thank Paul Poteet, who I tweeted the day before about the weather conditions I would face driving up from Arkansas. He took the time to look at the weather reports and was dead on the money with light rain and snow flurries the entire way back.
You can follow Bob's tweetly stylings on Twitter, and he does a pretty good job on Facebook, too.
Also, do you want Bob to find you a big ol' truck that'll get your big jobs done right? Give him a call at 317-429-0373!
