Tucker Rocky also recently decided to close its warehouse operations in Oregon and Colorado.

In October, Tucker Rocky/Biker’s Choice announced the hiring of Eric Cagle as president. He replaced Dan Courtney, who had been president and CEO of Tucker Rocky/Biker’s Choice from 2012 until February of this year.

  1. Well it’s true. I was a part of that cut, “position eliminated”. I was with TR for over 11 yrs as a successful outside sales rep and then relocated to Ft Worth to be part of the e-business group. Time for a new challenge!

  2. Yup, I was laid off too. I was part of the Helmet & Apparel team and supported all the reps in my region. After over two decades in retail powersports management,I had found my dream job. With the help of a great team of reps, I was able to improve our sales numbers from last (23rd in the company) to 5th, with over 30% growth in a down market. Tucker was a great place to work, but unfortunately I got swept up in the cutbacks. Finding work in this side of the industry, at this time of the year, has not been easy, but I’m confident I will find my another dream job.
