Service Manager
Chuck is highly experienced with Ottawa Trucks. His work has paid off well in the high level of retention and satisfaction among the customers he serves daily. In addition to making repairs, he also performs preventive maintenance (PM).
Mechanic Helper
Patrick is a native of Hardin County in Kentucky. He still resides there. He grew up working on trucks belonging to his family’s paving business. He has also worked in an automotive service facility. He is one of those individuals that his passion is his work. He has 10 years of experience in the transportation industry. Three children (including a set of twin boys) occupy much of his time at home. He also enjoys hunting and fishing.
Mechanic Specialist
Bill has accumulated 24 years in the transportation industry. Driving trucks and working on trucks has been his life’s work as an adult. He really enjoys this business. Some of that time was spent living in Texas. He is currently living in Southern Indiana. It is believed that if we were to look in his closet we would find a nice selection of cowboy boots. His two children occupy much of his time at home. He also enjoys hunting and fishing.
Cartage Driver
Steve is very safety oriented and very determined to complete the job as efficiently and as timely as he can for the customer. Steve is very willing to do just about any task at any hour of the day or night. We know we can count on Steve to get the job done. Steve has many years behind the wheel of a truck and it shows from the comments that we get from our customers.
Administrative Assistant
Connie joined us in 2007 to accept the responsibility for the efficient flow of paperwork to and from our shop. She generates all of the shop billings for our customers, monitors PM service schedules, prepares all cartage billings, maintains our DOT files, maintains our IFTA and IRP logs, reviews all incoming paperwork to the shop and still finds time to keep most of us straight (most of the time). She is always anxious to help anyone with a request for information.
Bookkeeper
Shirley has been an invaluable help to the office, doing a wide variety of jobs to help the office run even more smoothly. Her organizational abilities, competency, integrity, and positive attitude have helped allow the other employees the chance to focus and concentrate on doing their individual jobs more effectively, as she is always willing to help in whatever area needed.
Sales Manager
Chris brings a great attitude and customer appreciation. He dedicates himself for each customer to make sure they enjoy doing buisness with Louisville Switching.
Inside Sales Manager
Butch spent 37 years with The Apparel Group in Louisville, KY. He opted for an early retirement from his position as Vice-President of Distribution and Logistics rather than move to the Dallas, TX, area when the operation was moved. Maintaining close ties with his family and friends became a higher priority than his professional position. Butch has been active in community service in our area for many years. He worked with Don on the Riverport Business Association Safety Committee for a number of years. He was also active with the local volunteer fire fighting service for 20 years. His industry knowledge and commitment to his community made him a perfect fit for our new position as Inside Sales Manager. We are very pleased to be working with him.
President
Don Robinson has been in the trucking industry for years, taking over the family business after the passing of his father. His extensive knowledge of the trucking industry along with his vision, ambition, and dedication to his customers have added tremendously to the success of Louisville Switching. His integrity and gregarious nature has distinguished the company from many others, as his customers can rely on Don for reliable and honest business.
The Vermin Control
A relatively recent addition to our highly qualified staff, Fuzz and Mama (brother and sister) are, by far, our two most spoiled employees, begging for the occasional back rub and delicious treat. These precious cats are so effective at doing their job of keeping rodents out of the building, they frequently have to go out and search for food when they need a break from store bought cat food.
