Daniel started at KDC under his father Dan Engel when he was just 13, getting paid in sandwiches! His real journey started in 2002 working on the floor as a trailer mechanic. Being the son of the owner is never easy, and even harder to get everyone to respect you, but Daniel did that and so much more. He started as the Trailer Shop manager in 2010 and worked that position until 2020 when he was promoted to General Manager. Daniel has a special gift of being able to manage a team and foster a family atmosphere. Everyone in the KDC family has a huge amount of respect for Daniel and it makes all of us want to work hard together to make KDC the best it can be. Daniel always puts himself on both sides of the fence, he thinks like a customer as well as the mechanic, and always want to make sure the customer gets what they pay for. Daniel taught all of us to never have “no” in your heart and leads as such. Daniel has been married to his wife Mel for 15 years and they have 4 beautiful children. Skylar, Ethan, Cooper, and Evie “Baby J”. Daniel is highly involved with all his kiddos, sports, and all aspects of their life. He has two pups Mavis and Fiona. He loves spending time with his family, he’s a master at Oculus Beat Saber, and loves hanging out in his garage producing creative ideas for KDC. On top of all of his responsibilities at KDC he is also a coach for his kid’s sports!
Ashley came to work here with no experience in any fields that we have. That didn’t stop her from digging in and becoming an integral part of KDC’s operation in the Trailer Shop as the Coordinator. From building great relationships with current customers to bridging new relationships with new customers, she brought stability to a position in the Trailer Shop for years. As the years clicked by, it was obvious that Ashley had broader horizons in her future. She moved into her current role of Controller in 2022 and hasn’t looked back. With many new processes to learn, she tackled it the same way she had her Coordinator position in the Trailer Shop. She is a very positive person who brings a great approach to a very hard job. Ashley is newly engaged to her fiancé Nick, and they have 6 fur babies! Hades, Oakley, Thanatos, Ares, Bengal and Diesel. Her fur babies are her children and they live their best life! In her free time, they are at the dog park, stopping to get some ice cream, or she is on two wheels enjoying her motorcycle! Nick also rides and races his bike around the local circuit! In October 2024 she will become Mrs. Jones!
Mark has decades of experience in semi-truck repair and KDC is lucky to have him. As the Truck/Body Shop Manager, he is constantly trying to find the best repair solutions for customers in the ever-evolving field of semi-truck repair. He does a great job of blending an old school approach with all the new school tech. There are many fires to be put out on a daily basis and Mark does his best to never run out of water. From writing an estimate on a motor swap with axle relocation to getting elbow deep in a motor with a tech, there’s nothing Mark won’t try to tackle! He is married to his beautiful wife Ashley of 5 years and have 4 amazing children, and they live on a farm in New Castle with their chickens.
Jason brings decades of experience to a big role of Trailer Shop Manager. He doesn’t just bring managerial skills to this position either as he is one of the most skilled craftsmen to ever fix a trailer. When Jason started at KDC as a mechanic, the passion he has for turning out quality work in an impressive amount of time was impossible to overlook. From a rolled over reefer wreck to fabricating specialty parts that aren’t available anywhere in the country, he can fix about anything. He also has extensive knowledge of motors, transmissions, and is an accomplished body man as well. Once you meet him, it won’t be long till he’s showing you pictures of his many projects he works on at his own garage. KDC is fortunate to have a manager that can not only write any estimate but can fix the estimate he writes as well! Jason and his beautiful wife Christie have two kids. Their daughter Bailee is 27, and Brantley is 8.They also have two grandbabies Mackenzee and Brynlee. In Jason’s free time he loves to work on old cars and spend time with family. He is a sucker for a good steak!
Wayne came to KDC with extensive knowledge of running a body shop at past employers. He came here in a new role to him as a salesman but filled a huge hole that KDC needed badly. His previous job experience served him greatly in his new role as he’s seen the business from all sides. His attention to detail and customer service are extremely impressive. He is always attentive to every customer need, no matter how big or small. He is constantly focused on the solution and not the problem. Once initial contact is made, customers are always impressed with the quickness at which Wayne reacts. Wayne has formed many relationships with hard-to-reach customers and is always looking for a piece of the pie, not the whole pie. Wayne has been married to his sweetheart Bev for 31 years, and they have a beautiful daughter ReAnna. They also have a new grandbaby Briar who is the center of their whole world. Briar loves her PAP! Wayne loves hunting, fishing, boating, and hanging with his family. If you are lucky enough you might get to hear him sing some karaoke.
Thomas came to KDC with a very reputable reputation as a wreck builder of semi-trucks/buses. It didn’t take long for him to show off those skills once on site at KDC. For almost a decade now, KDC has been lucky to have him! In the last year Thomas has transitioned into a salesman. His knowledge and skills that he possessed before this transition have helped him seamlessly fit into his new role. He has done a fantastic job of getting customers back in the door and keeping the door open for future business. He is of high moral character and would never cut a corner if quality was to be sacrificed. Like Wayne, Thomas is a customer 1st salesman and wants to make sure that customers get what they pay for. Thomas has been married to his gorgeous wife Haylee for 8 years. They have two amazing kiddos and one on the way! Thomas is a super hard worker with little downtime, but he loves to spend time with his family!
Bo was introduced to KDC while he was working as a parts salesman for another company in town. He was able to impress us while working as a parts associate for another company. Luckily, the paths crossed at the right time and KDC was able to get him to join our Trailer Shop Sales staff. While his time here hasn’t been that long, he has made a lasting impact already. It’s almost impossible for Bo’s positive and energetic approach to not wear off on anyone he’s around. He’s done a great job of diversifying the customer base in the Trailer Shop and we are excited to see what the future brings! Bo knows trailers!!! Bo has been with his lady for 4 years and has 4 amazing kiddos. He lives in Plainfield and his greatest joy is being a dad. He is highly involved in the kids sports and school. He loves to tinker and play video games. He loves music and dancing with his beautiful lady!
