Lifted Trucks

Lifted trucks is a great environment ( cause of the sales guys) however the upper management and owners see you as a few numbers on a spreadsheet… 

The turnover in this company is insane, from being paid once a month to how the managers are told to treat sales guys, to being told what you made and seeing a huge difference on your direct deposit.

The schedule is ridiculous, so if you have a life outside… not anymore, 6 days off a month, bell to bell 2-3 times a week, provided lunch being only on saturdays. 

(Scheduled hours are 55hrs one week & 50hrs the next)

there are good months and bad months like the sales industry, but this place plays with your money, you think you’ll be bringing in $8,000 and $5,000 hits your account with no explanation.

 they like to keep you in the grey as a sales person on what your gross was on a deal, they cut our payplan from 25% of front end to 20% of front end, but they removed a pack of “$1750” that no one knew about, so. It was “better”.

A year later they lowered unit bonus to 8 instead of 10, but the catch was $1750 pack was back in and on the bottom of the page “that has always been there”

Christmas bonuses are $150 for under 1 year and $500 for a year and up. (Regardless of performance & less in 2023-2024)

It’s a fight to get time off, as well as advancement in the company, they tell you “we try not to bring in people from outside” but I’ve only seen a handful people be promoted here and countless managers be brought on from outside the company that don’t stick around after the experience they have here.

Super sketchy company to work for,  managers aren’t allowed to be friends with sales, and from finance up there’s a rule “don’t let sales guys see your paychecks.”

If you work at Lifted Trucks, expect big promises from management and corporate that they will never fulfill. Purely because they do not have the ability to fulfill them. Lifted Trucks has a very niche market of consumers, and while they try to incorporate variety into their inventory, 99% of the vehicles sold are out of 99% of the country’s price range. I’m a huge diesel head myself, so don’t get me wrong, these are some of the sickest, well-built trucks you’ll find in the market. However, with the state of the world we’re in right now, especially in the summertime, business is slow. And rather than support their employees, they fire them on a Tuesday morning without warning. Not for performance merit, but solely because the store is underperforming. Rather than shifting with the market and enriching the people who have entrusted them with their careers, they let them go on their tail ends with no advance notice after months of hard work, hitting personal KPI’s, traveling out of city/state to delivery vehicles, working on scheduled days off, etc. Shifting markets during slow season is a poor reason to fire someone and then tell them it has nothing to do with their work ethic or abilities. Solely store underperformance. Never written up, never talked to or trained to work within this market. Simply cold leads and dead ends. If you value your peace of mind, stay away from Lifted Trucks. 

Working at Lifted Trucks has been an amazing experience! The company truly values its employees and provides all the tools and training needed to succeed. From day one, I felt supported by management and my team, who are always willing to help and share their knowledge.

What sets Lifted Trucks apart is the culture – it’s energetic, positive, and focused on teamwork. Everyone here is passionate about what they do, and it shows in the results we achieve together. The leadership team genuinely listens to feedback and is committed to creating a workplace where everyone can thrive.

The growth opportunities are incredible. Whether you’re in sales, finance, or management, there’s a clear path to advance your career if you put in the effort. The commissions and bonuses are generous, and the company celebrates hard work and success.

If you’re looking for a rewarding career in the automotive industry, Lifted Trucks is the place to be. It’s more than just a job – it’s a family!

Very pleased. with the whole experience at Lifted Trucks. I've worked with lots of other dealers and this one is special. First, their branding and marketing is next level for an independent dealer. They have quality inventory and a great management team that has a lot of ambitious goals. Automotive is performance based, so this isn't a clock in and run out your time kind of job. Expectations are high and so is the reward. If you have hustle and are a team player, this is a great choice for you. If you're looking for an easy street to cruise down, maybe consider another industry altogether.  

As a marketing manager and co-creator of the brand, I've been fortunate to work with, and witness an incredibly dedicated team of individuals who have made Lifted Trucks a leader in the industry. 

The combination of a caring and talented team, positive work environment, and excellent inventory quality sets a solid foundation for success. By prioritizing quality, Lifted Trucks can ensure that work efforts are well-supported by top-notch products and people. This emphasis on quality not only boosts the company's reputation but also instills confidence in both employees and customers. 

Working for Lifted Trucks can be a rewarding experience, knowing that you are backed by exceptional resources and a commitment to excellence.

I spent 5+ years with Lifted Trucks and enjoyed the growth of the company. Work days can be long pending on the work flow. Most enjoyable part of the job is that most of the employees worked together to form a decent team and helped each other when needed. Management was always there to help solve problems that needed upper management decisions/approval. Most frustrating part of my job was due to my position (parts manager) because of no actual area (hard to control inventory when everyone has access to it) and other employees having access to "in progress" repair orders and making changes that should be limited to the parts manager.

The managers are degrading and discriminate against women employees and customers. It is their culture. The culture is toxic and the managers are allowed to discriminate and lie to employees and customers with zero repercussions…in fact it is encouraged to create these toxic environments by upper management and the owners. Penske is recently financially  involved with this group and will soon be aware of this toxic culture and back out as well. This is not Penske culture.

Your experience here completely depends upon your store and how thick your skin is. The pay plan is, by industry standards, not bad considering the average gross per unit. That being said there’s no commission on back end at all. The “senior pay plan” bump of 5% is pretty poof to be honest and not something you should awe at. 

If your desk managers suck or you don’t get along with them, you’ll last a month at most. There’s a decent amount of favoritism amongst sales tower and sales floor, so buddy up with a manager and you’ll have a slight edge over others. 

People you work with are great, upper management not so much. You’re just another number to them. Doesn’t matter how long you’ve been with the company, you aren’t appreciated despite how much work or effort you’ve put in for the company. The pay changes multiple times. They will promise you great things and never deliver. If it wasn’t for my coworkers, I wouldn’t have stayed as long as I did. It’s not worth the mental stress or physical stress on the body. There are better dealerships out there to work for with healthier work environments. The money was decent but with the amount of work you do, you can make more money elsewhere. 

Time really does fly when you’re having fun .. and this job is nothing short of it ! These last 5 YEARS with this company is the best 5 years of my life … this job has opened up so many doors for a young 26yr old like myself and I couldn’t thank them enough …. From the owners to the ladies in the back, to the mechanics , Lott attendants , etc … everyone makes you feel like family ! And that’s why I enjoy coming to work everyday… The opportunities here are limitless ,and ANYONE can make the best of them ! Can’t wait to see what lies ahead of me, but I know I’m doing it with the best company behind me !!
