Episode 116: The way we buy and sell heavy-duty parts has been rapidly evolving, and the things that are driving these changes are expected to intensify over the next decade. If heavy-duty parts distributors and repair shops want to not only survive, but thrive, they need to quickly adapt, or risk being put out of business in the next 10-years.

In this episode, we discuss what the independent service channel must do to make the transition to a digital sales channel, and how consolidation, demographics, and technology are major challenges but also is an opportunity for those that are willing to make changes to the way they do business.

Our guest is Tyler Robertson who is the Founder and CEO at Diesel Laptops. Tyler has developed the industry-leading apps Diesel Parts and Diesel Repair and he is working to take a big bite out of the $34bn in heavy-duty parts sales over the next few years so he is the person we need to talk to about how the independent service channel will survive the next 10-years.
