JAMES SHERWOOD, Senior Vice President-Heavy Haul Services/North America & Canada
James Sherwood brings a great deal of talent to the Chrome Tour. His knowledge of equipment, weights, overall dimensions, and work ethic are second to none. James has the experience, ability and the attitude to do the job right and to live up to the Chrome Tour guarantee that, no matter how heavy, wide, or oversized, if you need equipment moved West Coast Style, we deliver.

He was raised south of Salt Lake City, but has also lived in Southern California and Arizona. After graduating from the BYU School of Business, he went straight to work for CIT (where he met Construction Truck & Trailer finance man Erik Sugerman).

James next worked with Ritchie Bros. for five years, directing some of the heaviest hauls to the biggest auctions North America has ever seen. On one occasion James found himself hours from the auction deadline with pieces of equipment scattered around the Western US. And that is when he found the Chrome Tour's 24 Hr. Guarantee. Construction Truck and Trailer wasn't James's first call that day, but when it was all said and done the Chrome Tour came through with 8 pieces of equipment collectively weighing over 1 million pounds moved in record time.

James was so impressed with the standard of safety, expedience, and overall professionalism that the Chrome Tour became his first and only call.

Now he calls it home.

Larissa's responsibilities here at the Chrome Tour consist of setting up loads, the all-important task of pulling permits, acquiring trip papers, dispatch sheets, and handling the bill of lading - aka delivery receipt. If you have a question about any aspect of getting
your piece of equipment hauled from your yard to anywhere across the country, Larissa is a great place to start.

If you can find a day when she is not planning our next haul you may find her in the fourth row from the back of the Megaplex downtown watching a hot new release just out that weekend. We give her at least one day off a month whether she needs it or not.
