For the past 14 years, Kyle Hillis has been a key member of the Ledwell team, hauling equipment across the US and Canada, ensuring our customers receive what they need, when and where they need it.

But Kyle does more than just deliver equipment. He is also part of our field service effort, stepping in to troubleshoot and make repairs when a customer needs a hand. Right now, he is on the road heading across the country to do just that.

When asked what a typical day looks like, Kyle just laughs. “There’s no such thing as a typical day when you’re a driver,” he says. “Every job depends on the destination.”

What stays consistent is Kyle’s commitment to the customer. He especially enjoys delivering to first time Ledwell buyers. “You can always see their excitement,” he says. “I like training them on how to operate the equipment. It’s rewarding to be part of that first impression.”

Over the years, Kyle has picked up some valuable lessons. The biggest one? “Pay attention. Be aware of what you’re doing and what’s around you.” It is advice that serves him well when navigating long hauls and customer sites across North America.

Ask him what keeps him going, and his answer is simple. “Up here is like family. That makes it easy to be motivated every day.”

When he is not behind the wheel, Kyle enjoys golfing with his partner of five years, Misty. He is also a proud grandfather, spoiling three grandkids with two more on the way.

We are proud to have Kyle represent Ledwell on the road. His dedication, attitude, and experience make him more than just a driver. He is a trusted face of the Ledwell brand.

Since 2005, John Williams has been a key part of the Ledwell team. He came in ready to take on tough jobs, and from day one, he’s been our go-to for electrical maintenance. His work keeps us moving and speaks volumes about his dedication to doing things right.

Installing cranes is one of John’s favorite tasks. He’s wired and programmed nearly 40 of them over the years, each one built to make life easier and safer for our team. You can see the pride in his craftsmanship every time a crane fires up without a hitch.

John’s work comes with challenges, especially when electrical problems pop up without warning. But he doesn’t back down. His ability to troubleshoot fast and get equipment back online shows just how much he values quality, reliability, and keeping the job on track.

Before Ledwell, John spent ten years in the Navy, serving our country with the same discipline and purpose he brings to his role today. That experience shaped his sharp attention to detail and his steady, no-nonsense approach.

When he’s off the clock, John enjoys a quieter kind of precision, caring for his aquariums. He keeps angel fish and tiger barbs, along with coral he collected while stationed near the Indian Sea. It’s a passion that reflects his deep respect for life and balance.

At the core of everything John does is his faith. “Knowing someone is there to carry the weight of the world for you is so inspiring,” he says. It’s that belief that helps him stay grounded and focused, no matter what comes his way.

John Williams isn’t just a skilled electrician; he’s a steady hand, a quiet leader, and a living example of what it means to be Ledwell Made. We’re proud to have him on the team and even prouder of the legacy he continues to build every day.

For the past seven years, Devonta Britt has been part of Ledwell’s Paint Department, specifically in the Blasting Bay. After earning a degree from the University of Arkansas Cossatot, Devonta brought his skills and strong work ethic to Texarkana, where he has been blasting away parts, truck bodies, and trailers ever since.

He blasts each piece with coarse material, prepping it for the next stage in the paint process. It’s tough, dirty work, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

“It’s a lot of work,” he says, “but it’s pretty laid back once you get past that.” That attitude says it all: head down, job done, no complaints. Devonta embodies what it means to be Ledwell Made; reliable, focused, and proud of what he does.

He takes pride in his work and values the people around him. “I love what I do most, and the people too,” he says. Devonta lives by a principle that mirrors Ledwell’s foundation: take care of your people, and they’ll take care of you.

“He’s dependable, hard-working, and is committed to getting the job done correctly and in a timely manner,” says his foreman.

Outside of work, Devonta enjoys time with his wife Karley, his partner of ten years, and spoiling his nieces and nephews. When he’s not spending time with family, he’s channeling his creativity into making music, particularly in the rap genre.

Devonta’s grit, loyalty, and heart make him a true representation of the Ledwell spirit.

Kevin Jones has been part of the Ledwell team since 2011, showing up every day ready to work—and ready to support the team around him. He got his start in Shipping and Receiving, learning the ropes and building his reputation for being dependable and driven.

After some time there, Kevin moved into the Kit Bay, where he built kits for the Truck Shop and installed tarps and boards on Dump Trucks. “It’s a lot of running back and forth, taking care of the guys to make sure they have everything they need,” Kevin says. These days, he’s the go-to for Vacuum Truck kits.

But make no mistake. Kevin’s job is more than just putting parts in a basket. He’s double-checking part accuracy, placing orders to keep stock ready, and staying ahead of the curve so production keeps rolling without a hitch.

When asked what he enjoys most, Kevin doesn’t hesitate: “The relationships I’ve built over the years. We work just as hard for our families as we do for each other. It’s a great support system.”

One of Kevin’s most memorable moments on the job was when an old army truck rolled in with a metal dash, toggles, and levers. He installed the tarp and boards on the dump bed. “To see the true workmanship to build something and it last was incredible,” he recalls.

For Kevin, Ledwell Made means more than craftsmanship. It’s about grit, unity, and a shared commitment. “A group of people who show up every day, push through, and get the job done, together.”

Kevin’s just as proud of his life at home as he is at work. He’s been married to Tammy for 15 years and is a proud dad to four kids. When he’s not keeping kits running like clockwork, you’ll find him with his family or firing up the grill for a good BBQ.

Kevin Jones is the kind of teammate who represents the heart of Ledwell: humble, hardworking, and always ready to lend a hand.
