Big Truck Rental promotes new president
Tampa-based refuse truck rental business Big Truck Rental LLC has promoted Robert Mecchi to president of the company as part of its two-year business growth transition plan.

Mecchi, an 11-year veteran in the waste industry, served as president of Perkins Manufacturing prior to joining Big Truck Rental in 2010 as vice president of business development. He is the current chairman of the Waste Equipment Technology Association (WASTEC) Board of Governors.
The company says Mecchi was instrumental in forging its new current relationship with Heil, a garbage-truck body manufacturer.

“The past two years have really presented some challenges in terms of our economy — as well as the dynamics within the refuse rental market segment,” Scott Dols, owner and CEO of Big Truck Rental, says in a press release. “Robert has done a fantastic job in developing and executing a comprehensive plan that puts Big Truck Rental on a solid growth trajectory.”
