TORONTO, Ont. – Peterbilt of Waterloo service manager Calum Robson was named the 2006 Chevron Diesel Technician of the Year at the Canadian Fleet Maintenance Seminars.

At the time of his nomination, Robson was a diesel mechanic for Peterbilt of Waterloo. He was recognized at CFMS during a special awards ceremony hosted by Chevron. Robson received a framed certificate, a gift bag and watch while Peterbilt of Waterloo received a $2,000 training stipend and six-class package from Lubricants University, an online lubricant and coolant training center.

Calum’s employers say he has been a role model for his peers and has promoted teamwork within the organization. He also boasts excellent customer service skills, according to his co-workers who marvel at his ability to take a difficult situation and turn it into a pleasant one for customers.

He can turn the worst possible experience for a customer into his best. We all at our organization often wonder if this guys is for real! Calum has excellent customer relations skills and is gifted with his own personal touch.”
