“We tell customers and prospective customers that if you want to
make sure you have the inventory you need, you have to forecast your
needs as accurately as possible and then get that to us a quickly as
possible, and we will handle the rest,” says Tom Walker, CEO.
Tom also adds that there are a lot of “deals” out in the market right
now, and that prospective buyers should watch out for old inventory
(especially important with tires) and make sure that the supply can
keep up with your demand.

W
ith the recent trade environment throwing the trailer industry
into scramble mode, Taskmaster Components has made
it a mission to help defend the industry while continually finding
ways to provide a stable supply to its customer base. Taskmaster
Components’ flexibility has allowed the company to continue
providing its customers with the products they need.
Taskmaster’s leadership team has made numerous trips to Washington
DC to testify to the panel at the International Trade Commission
regarding Section 301 Tariffs.
“Our team has seen a lot of DC in the last year or two...,” says
Amanda Walker Executive Vice President. “We know it is important
for us to continue fighting for the industry that has given us so much.”
While helping to lead the fight for trade, Taskmaster Components has
also worked to find solutions to ensure that its customers have no
gap in supply.
Taskmaster’s ability to maintain a stable supply chain comes down
to multiple factors. Most importantly, Taskmaster Components has
focused on building rock-solid relationships with its suppliers. As one
of the first companies in the industry to turn its attention globally,
the team at Taskmaster understands that building strong partnerships
allows the company to remain flexible when the times get tough.
Taskmaster continues to forge new alliances with great companies
around the world.
Another factor that has allowed Taskmaster to maintain the stability
of its supply is the sheer amount of warehouse space the company
employs. Locations in Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, Texas, and Cross-
docks in California and Indiana allow the company to serve all of
North America. Taskmaster’s warehouses are equipped with the
latest inventory technology and it operates a fleet of trucks to ensure
timely delivery.
Taskmaster Components has some advice for ensuring supply for its
customers.
