Trucking & Heavy Equipment Expertise
Michael brings a diverse knowledge of the trucking and heavy equipment industries, having worked as a diesel and heavy equipment tech for 16 years. “During my time as a diesel and heavy equipment tech, I learned as much as I could about the trucks and heavy equipment I was working on. I became certified in welding, electronics, hydraulics, and all things related to on-highway trucks and heavy equipment repair,” said Wilwerding. In 2016 Michael transitioned into the sales role as the territory manager for Pape Machinery, an authorized Felling Trailers dealer, selling the John Deere line up and their allied products. “I have worked with Felling over the years and have come to know their trailers as one of the best in the industry. I am excited to work with the people at Felling and the Felling product lines,” said Michael. “We feel Michael will play an important role in the continued growth of the Felling Trailers brand in the southwestern region,” said Patrick Jennissen, Felling’s SVP of sales & marketing.
