For CEOs of multi‑location commercial truck dealers, parts & service groups, and independent heavy‑truck service companies doing $10M–$50M+.
You built a real operation, multiple locations, real revenue, a leadership team on paper. But decisions still roll back to you. Your managers wait. Your stores run hot when you visit and coast when you don't.
In 14 days, get an honest read from your own managers on where your leadership operating system is slowing execution, where your leaders are stuck, and where you may be unintentionally in the way, plus a 90‑day plan to fix it.
Most 360s end with a report on your desk. Ours ends with proof — we re-measure whether your managers experience you differently 90 days later.
This is the first step to starting your 14‑Day Executive Leadership Diagnostic.
We only run 3 diagnostics per month. If the calendar shows slots, there’s still space.

Every week your managers wait for you is a week your service lanes, parts counters, and used truck lot run below capacity.
GPS in the commercial truck industry
HDA Truck Pride is the largest independent truck parts and service network in North America. Alex has been invited two years running to address their CEOs, presidents, and owners, first on protecting time and prioritizing what actually moves the business, and most recently on why "people problems" are really profit problems.
Through this work, Alex has become a trusted resource to HDA Truck Pride members on the leadership side of running multi-location, operations-heavy businesses. A joint educational program for member CEOs is currently in development.
Bruckner's is one of the largest Peterbilt dealers in the country, operating 26+ locations across the Southwest. GPS spoke at their annual leadership conference and conducted enterprise-wide analysis and recommendations for implementing a leadership development system, designed to increase leadership effectiveness, reduce burnout, and build bench strength across the entire organization.
"I really appreciated the direction you took our group, you focused on team and building culture, and that's key in our business. Hearing leaders talk about how they'd use what they learned to help team members they'd been struggling with was inspiring. We all grow when we have better tools like this to bring back to the organization."
Brian Bruckner, President, Bruckner's Truck & Equipment
"People problems are really profit problems, and most CEOs in this room are solving the wrong one." — Alex D. Tremble, HDA Truck Pride Annual Meeting 2026

Who you're working with
Most leadership consultants have never sat across from a GM who runs a 12-bay service department. I have, and I know the difference between a leadership problem and a system problem.
I started my career overseeing executive leadership development for the U.S. federal government, organizations where leadership failure has real operational consequences. What I learned there is what I bring to multi-location operators: if the system isn't built to run without the top person in every decision, it won't. Full stop.
I work with CEOs of $10M–$50M+ commercial truck dealerships, parts & service groups, and heavy-truck service companies. I've spoken at the HDA Truck Pride Annual Meeting two years running. I've done enterprise-wide leadership analysis for Bruckner's Truck & Equipment, one of the largest Peterbilt dealer networks in the country. These aren't logos I borrowed. These are relationships I earned.
I don't run workshops. I don't sell inspiration. I install a leadership operating system, and I start every engagement the same way: with an honest read from your own people on where you're the bottleneck.
Personality assessments. Offsite retreats. Frameworks that feel meaningful in a room and disappear by Monday. You've probably done one. It didn't stick.
Six-figure engagements with analysts who've never run a service department. Recommendations land in a deck. Nothing changes in the stores.
Start with a 14-day audit of exactly where you're the bottleneck. Then install a simple system, priorities, meetings, delegation, accountability, that your managers can run without you.
In their own words
We asked CEOs, presidents, and owners at the HDA Truck Pride Annual Meeting to name the biggest leadership problem slowing execution right now. Here's what they said.
You reach consensus. You make the call. Then nothing moves. The same issue resurfaces two weeks later. That's not a communication problem, it's a follow-through and accountability system problem.
Your managers are technically capable. But when pressure hits, they escalate instead of decide. You end up solving problems one level below where you should be operating.
Your calendar is running you. High-value leadership work keeps getting pushed by the urgent. So does your team's alignment with where the business is actually going.
Your GMs and service managers are doing the work instead of building the people who do it. That's how locations become one resignation away from chaos.
When who-does-what isn't defined, your best people spend energy on politics instead of customers. The frustration shows up in turnover before it shows up in a conversation.
Leadership by proximity isn't leadership. If your managers only have authority when standing in front of someone, your stores don't have managers, they have supervisors.
The right fit
We work with 15 clients per service line at a time. Here's exactly who this is and isn't for.

How GPS works
No workshops. A simple operating system so your managers run the business, and you run the business.
The 14-Day Executive Leadership Diagnostic shows exactly where your leadership creates drag, through the eyes of your key people, not your gut.
14 days → full picture
Meeting rhythms, delegation structure, decision rights, accountability cadences, simple enough that your managers run it without you enforcing it.
90-day reset → new standard
The hardest part isn't the system. It's you changing how you lead. We coach you through that shift so it sticks when the pressure comes back.
Ongoing → lasting execution
The GPS framework
These are the five places where CEOs of multi-location operations, including HDA Truck Pride members, say their businesses stall. Most have more than one.
Priorities aren't sharp enough for your team to decide without you.
Critical calls stall or bounce back instead of staying closed.
Too much runs through you rather than leaders one level down.
People filter bad news. You're deciding on stale data.
Your people don't know what to do without you. So they wait.

Where every engagement starts
Most CEOs don't get an honest read on how their leadership lands until something breaks. This gives you that read before it's expensive.
Most 360s stop at the scores. This one keeps going — into a 90-day plan and a re-score that proves your managers actually experience you differently. See a real example ↓

Don't take our word for it — look at the actual output
