Montway Auto Transport promotes Anguiano to COO
Montway Auto Transport has promoted Alberto Anguiano to chief operating officer, expanding his responsibilities to oversee daily administrative and operational functions.
In his new role, Anguiano will focus on integrating acquisitions, improving fiscal performance through capital allocation and operational efficiencies, and future-proofing operations by positioning the company to adapt to changes in the automotive and logistics markets.
He joined Montway’s executive leadership team in 2021 as chief financial officer (CFO) and has played a key role in the company’s expansion, particularly through identifying and integrating acquisition targets that broadened Montway’s market reach and service capabilities, according to a news release.
Anguiano’s previous career experience includes several senior leadership roles: he served as CFO at Allstate Roadside Services for nearly five years, served as vice president of finance at National Express, and spent more than seven years at US Foods, most recently as director of finance.
Pisano named CCO at Vocational Trucks and Equipment
Vocational Trucks and Equipment (VTE) has appointed Joe Pisano as chief commercial officer. He succeeds Robby DeHart who now becomes company’s chief operating officer.
In his new role, Pisano will oversee commercial strategy across VTE’s dealerships, working closely with dealer leadership to support program development and growth. His responsibilities include ensuring dealers have the tools, resources and strategic support needed to deliver service and long-term value to customers.
Pisano brings more than 13 years of experience in the environmental equipment sector. His background includes more than three years with Clean Energy and eight years at McNeilus, where he held several leadership roles, including director of sales operations. Most recently, he led off-rent truck sales at Big Truck Rental, supporting independent, municipal and national customers with fleet planning and equipment services.
As part of the leadership transition, Robby DeHart, who previously served as chief commercial officer, moves into the role of chief operating officer. In that position, DeHart will focus on operational support across the dealership network, will work closely with operational leaders to enhance parts and service capabilities, strengthen customer support offerings, and further leverage VTE’s scale to improve dealership synergies and long-term growth.
Truck Country names new EVP
Truck dealerships and service provider Truck Country has named Connor McCoy executive vice president.
McCoy joined parent company McCoy Group on a full-time basis in August 2021 and has held a series of operational and management roles across Truck Country and sister company Foodliner.
“Connor has firsthand experience, working his way up through the company,” said Doug McCoy, president of Truck Country. “He started with Foodliner as a tank wash tech, moving to shop hand, night dispatch, fleet manager, terminal manager of Diamond, Missouri, regional manager of Texas, and account manager for Truck Country’s corporate sales group.”
McCoy becomes the fourth generation of his family to hold a leadership position within the organization. The McCoy Group was founded in 1958 by his great-grandfather, Robert McCoy Sr.
FortisBC named manager of hydrogen infrastructure and investment
Tyson Jerry was named as a new manager of hydrogen infrastructure and investment at FortisBC, a utility provider in British Columbia supplying natural gas and electricity.
Jerry said in a LinkedIn post he spent the past decade supporting FortisBC’s low-carbon transportation strategy, including the development of partnerships, incentive programs and early groundwork for hydrogen fueling stations in the province. He joined in 2016 as account manager and most recently served as account manager, renewable gas, hydrogen supply and production.
In the new role, he will focus on planning and deploying hydrogen fueling infrastructure for heavy-duty vehicles, supporting commercial fleets in adopting cleaner practices, aligning infrastructure investments with regulatory frameworks such as the Greenhouse Gas Reduction (Clean Energy) Regulation, and advancing FortisBC’s role in decarbonizing heavy-duty transportation.

When we invest in education, we directly improve the driving job, and that’s exactly what this award is meant to celebrate.”
