Transcript
Welcome to Parts For Trucks.
My name is Jamie Irvine, National Sales Director at Parts For Trucks and your host.
Welcome to our very first episode.
Here is our promise to you:
In every episode of the Parts For Trucks podcast you’ll walk away with tools, strategies, and knowledge to make your job easier, cut costs, and elevate your performance in the heavy-duty trucking industry.
Why are we producing the show?
Because the trucking industry is the backbone of our society. If the trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment stopped, our way of life and people’s lives would hang in the balance.
That means that what you do to keep the heavy-duty industry going matters and it is our honor and mission to support you.
How will we support you?
Tools That Make Your Job Easier
Whether you are working on the parts or service side of the business, the tools you use every day empower you to keep trucks and trailers on the road.
We want to make sure that we keep you up to date on any new tools that are available so you can do your job safely and efficiently.
Strategies and Knowledge to Make Your Job Easier
Have you ever had the experience of struggling to do something and someone comes along and shows you an easier way?
We have access to hundreds of experienced people both at Parts For Trucks and in our network of suppliers who have all learned the best way to do certain things and we want to share that knowledge with you.
At the end of each episode, we hope you learn something that makes doing your job a little easier.
Cut Costs
No matter what business you work in, cash flow is the life blood of the business.
We want to show you ways, not to just lower your purchase price in the short term, but to lower your total cost of operation in the long term.
Elevate Your Performance
You are already doing a great job, and as we said before, what you do to support the heavy-duty industry matters.
So, if we can help you to find ways to elevate your already excellent performance, then we contribute to a strong heavy-duty industry and a strong Canadian society.
It just doesn’t get better than that.

An Introduction to Your Host
As I said at the beginning of this episode, my name is Jamie Irvine, I’m the National Sales Director at Parts For Trucks, and I'll be your host.
What qualifies me to host this show and lead the sales team at Parts For Trucks?
- I’ve worked most of my nearly 30-year career in heavy-duty parts.
- The first 10-years I worked in manufacturing and remanufacturing. I’ve relined thousands of brake shoes, remanufactured air valves, air dryers, and air/hydraulic systems.
- I’ve worked in distribution as a delivery driver, warehouse worker, parts person on the counter, and in the field as an OSR.
- I’ve managed both the Operations and Sales side of the business.
- I’ve consulted with dozens of manufacturers, distributors, and service companies.
- I’ve hosted over 350+ podcast episodes, live webinars, and moderated dozens of presentations on my previous show The Heavy Duty Parts Report.
Those are the highlights of my career, but I think what you need to know about me is that I am “heavy-duty”, I love this industry and the amazing people who work tirelessly supporting the trucking industry which is the backbone of our society, and I love Canada.
I'm learning French so excuse my English accent: "Je ne parle pas très bien français mais je prends des cours et je vais m’améliorer en français."
Conclusion
You’ve been listening to the Parts For Trucks podcast. I’m your host Jamie Irvine.
In our next episode, we are going to share with you the fascinating 100-year history of this company and we will do a deep dive on how the trucking industry has been supporting Canadians for well over 100-years.
Thank you for being heavy-duty!
