Jake Meyer, who has been with Felling’s inside sales team since 2015, steps into the Sales Manager role where he will oversee daily team operations, implement training programs for new sales team members, and manage cross-departmental inquiries. “I am thrilled to congratulate Jake on his well-deserved promotion to Sales Manager. His dedication and proven track record in driving results make him an ideal fit for this role. I’m confident he will continue to make a significant impact as he takes on this new opportunity,” noted Uphus. Meyer added, “I am honored to have been selected for the sales manager role. I am excited to use the knowledge and experience I have gained throughout my tenure at Felling Trailers to assist our sales team as we continue to grow the Felling brand.“

Uphus and Meyer have built a strong foundation during their years with Felling Trailers. Both started on the production floor, learning the various aspects of the production process before transitioning to parts sales and eventually moving into trailer sales. These roles served as building blocks, contributing to a solid understanding of Felling’s production capabilities and the numerous models offered. These leadership changes reflect Felling Trailers’ commitment to recognizing talent and fostering growth within the organization while positioning the company for continued success in the competitive trailer manufacturing industry.
