Scott Kincaid, 34 Vice President Jeff Keeley, 35 Operations Manager for Service & Parts Midwest Bus Sales Bonner Springs, Kansas
Midwest Bus Sales Inc. has a hometown company feel, but it truly has a national reach, and its employees bleed yellow for generations. Take for instance Scott Kincaid and Jeff Keeley, a pair of young bucks who are steering the company into new and exciting directions. Let’s start with Scott, whose father, Don Kincaid, owns Midwest Bus Sales, and is the company’s current president. Don recently celebrated 50 years of experience in the industry. Scott hopes to continue that tradition. “Scott Kincaid has been a huge catalyst for the CNG market in school buses since 2010,” said Scott Bruegge, general manager for Midwest Bus Sales Inc. “He has been the
project lead and resident expert for the grants, funding, and return on investment to four of the largest school districts in the Kansas City area.” Scott worked directly with Tomas Built
Buses to provide the market research, as well as pushed to have them be the first to market with the Type A and Type C CNG school buses. “He has also been instru- mental providing school districts with the data and the financing for these projects in order for them to make total fleet replace- ments from diesel to compressed natural gas school buses,” Bruegge explained. Alternatively, Jeff Keeley has spent the last decade as a rising star in Midwest Bus
Sales. He began his career as a technician for a Kansas school district before he joined the company as the lead school bus tech- nician. “After five years on the floor, Jeff became the lead trainer for the dealership being certified by Tomas Built Buses to train technicians on their chassis and body components,” Bruegge said, adding that Jeff was quickly promoted into a manage- ment position, overseeing the service and body shop for the dealership on top of his training duties. Keeley has displayed keen business sense, strong leadership traits and his sharp-edged customer service expertise, winning over many shop managers. His training and willingness to assist others to get buses repaired safely and on time earned him on multiple occasions the title Regional Trainer of the Year from Tomas Built Buses. He was also instrumental in helping Midwest Bus Sales Inc. enter the CNG market, demonstrating that he could provide an unprecedented level of training
