TCI’s first EV charging station is now live at our Fontana location and available exclusively to TCI clients. The site features 20 total ports, including Level 2 and Level 3 chargers (up to 120 kW), built to support commercial fleet operations and daily uptime.

TCI brought its sales team together Jan. 29-31 in Indian Wells, California, for its annual Sales Summit, bringing more than 55 team members together for training, collaboration and alignment.

The three-day summit opened with a company update from Co-CEOs Andrew Flynn and Ryan Flynn, followed by the 2026 go-to-market kickoff led by Executive Vice President of Sales, Ross Calame.

“This year’s summit was about clarity and execution,” Calame said. “We wanted to align the entire sales organization around one operating standard focusing on how we target, how we sell, how we hand off and how we protect the brand in the market.”

Calame emphasized structure and consistency as core themes throughout the event. “We focused on structure, cleaner deal flow, clearer ownership across divisions and raising the bar on response time and discipline. When those fundamentals are consistent, performance becomes repeatable instead of reactive,” he said.

The summit featured a mix of training, educational vendor sessions and cross-functional breakouts designed to sharpen selling skills, strengthen alignment and elevate execution across divisions.

TCI also recognized standout performers during the summit, including Eric Lee as Top Salesperson, Dedicated Sales; Frank Orozco as Dedicated Top Revenue Producer, Dedicated Sales; Randy Golden as Top Salesperson, Leasing + Rentals; Hubert Edward Gibbs as Top Salesperson, Truck Sales; and Nicole Perry as the recipient of the “Cowboy Hat” Brokerage Award.

Looking ahead, the sales team is focused on measurable improvements across the funnel. Key goals include faster response to opportunities and customer signals, higher-quality discovery to reduce rework and poor-fit deals, cleaner proposals with fewer late-stage concessions and more disciplined handoffs to eliminate service friction.

“We are also becoming more selective in who we pursue and what we say ‘yes’ to,” Calame said. “The goal is not just growth; it is durable, profitable growth that Operations can execute confidently and customers can trust.”

Calame noted the timing of this year’s summit was critical. “The market is more competitive and more disciplined than it was a few years ago. Buyers are cautious, informed and expect certainty,” he said. “At the same time, TCI has more capability across divisions than ever before. That only becomes an advantage if we operate as one coordinated system.”

He added that the summit clarified standards and reinforced accountability across the organization. “We are not relying on momentum or individual heroics. We are building a repeatable sales engine that the rest of the company can plan around,” Calame said. “Sales sets the pace for the organization. This week was about setting that pace deliberately.”

Last week, TCI brought together operational leaders from across the company for a Regional Operations Summit to strengthen alignment, reinforce expectations, and improve execution. The summit created space for open, honest conversation and stronger alignment between regions. Executive leadership outlined the company’s direction and priorities, making sure every region left the meeting with clarity around operational standards, safety expectations, and performance goals. Regional Managers also shared updates on results, challenges, and what’s ahead, encouraging transparency and ownership across the team.

Freddy Deras, Director of Projects, set the tone by framing the summit as more than just another meeting. “We want this summit to feel less like a conference and more like a reset”, he shared, emphasizing the importance of getting everyone in the same room to talk candidly about what’s working, what isn’t, and where we can improve, allowing us to “slow down and sharpen our blades.” As TCI continues to grow, he reinforced that alignment takes intention and discipline. Leaders left the summit feeling energized, aligned, and well-positioned to manage growth the right way and continue building a stronger TCI!
