Justin Laucks
EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT, JULY 2023
Our July Employee Spotlight shines on our Yard Manager, Justin Laucks. He directs the flow of customers and equipment in and out of the yard and supervises the loading of trucks. He started in the heavy equipment industry with us two and a half years ago. His brother, Andrew, was Yard Manager at the time and encouraged him to join the crew.
Justin enjoys spending time with his daughter and fiancé, taking hikes, and exploring nature. In his limited spare time, he enjoys gardening, wood carving, and playing the guitar and ukulele. Folks are surprised to learn that he had no equipment experience before starting with McGrew, and now he can load equipment with the best of ’em! His favorite memories are the cross-country camping trips he and Andrew took as children.
Justin cites Andrew as a mentor for showing him the ropes and providing encouragement in his early days with McGrew. He enjoys learning tips and tricks from customers and coworkers with more experience in the equipment industry. Working at McGrew has taught him how to troubleshoot equipment, overcome challenges, and persevere through adversity. He enjoys the sense of satisfaction from a job well done.
Justin is a crucial part in keeping our auctions successful and organized, and we’re proud to shine a spotlight on him for the month of July!
