Brian H. Greif

Isaiah 55:6-13

 

A lifelong expert and professional diesel technician, Brian Greif was a mentor to many young aspiring diesel technicians during his 30 plus year career.  Throughout those years, Brian built a strong customer base, with many customers choosing him personally to repair their equipment and entrusting him to keep their trucks on the road.

Floyd’s Truck Center, Inc. had the distinct privilege of having Brian in our organization for 22 years as a lead technician, leader, mentor, Service Manager and most importantly, a member of our family. 

Brian made us all a little bit better, both on a professional level and personal level. We are excited about the opportunity to pay it forward and ensure that his legacy in the diesel world lives on, inspiring young technicians to be their very best.
