We are pleased to announce Chris Allen, Service Technician at Silver State International has been recognized by International and Navistar as one of four winners of the Technician of Influence Award for the month of April!

Chris is a very hardworking, exceptionally dependable individual, who excels at every task and goes above and beyond what is expected of him. He is an amazing team player and has a positive attitude that is contagious in Silver State International.

He has completed all Navistar training in less than 2 months and is extremely dedicated to this industry. He takes exceptional pride whether it’s on the technical side or the business side. If he’s doing a bigger job such as an overhaul, he stays late to finish the job and get our customers back on the road. He understands that our customer’s biggest concern is having downtime.

Chris has over 12 years of experience in the trucking industry, so naturally, his knowledge and talent are prime examples of what to teach our younger techs. His leadership ensures our guys are on the right track, and his teaching excels their learning capabilities. Chris is trustworthy and responsible with every task and has gone out of his way to make sure our rookie technicians succeed and move forward in their careers.

He demonstrates extremely high productivity during every job and has given zero comebacks since he was hired. Chris recently obtained his commercial Driver’s license to better diagnose and repair trucks. Chris started his career working on Cummins and Caterpillar engines, so when he came to International, he had to learn everything International. He adjusted very quickly and never got discouraged. He is a total asset, and we are lucky to have him. You won’t find technicians like Chris very often!
