FIRST FEMALE TECHNICIAN On occasion a problem arises,


and with it an opportunity for lead- ers to form. The Larson Group would like to recognize Aymee Cunningham for excelling in her work. A new truck was brought to


Peterbilt of Joplin experiencing repeated problems with zero clues from diag- nostic tests. Needed on site, this truck required a fast resolution. Enlisting the help of technicians


directly from PACCAR, everyone was stumped. Aymee Cunningham took it upon


herself to simultaneously diagnose and fix what turned out to be problems in the wiring. The most difficult trucking issues to troubleshoot are wiring and computer related. She built and installed a custom


circuit, and the truck no longer showed any problems on site. Aymee is now requested for any service work on these very trucks. The Larson Group and the service


team at Peterbilt of Joplin are proud of Aymee’s work. But for Aymee, it is always about getting the job done right. Aymee is the first female techni-


cian hired at The Larson Group and is a member of the service team at Peterbilt of Joplin. If you have the pleasure of meeting Aymee, be sure to give her a handshake with a “job well done.”
