Doug lives in Chandler Arizona with his wife, daughter, four dogs and a cat. He has a strong background in the transportation industry and loves meeting new and interesting people. He currently works for Rush Truck Centers of Phoenix, AZ and since his coming aboard back in late 07 the used truck department at Rush Phoenix has gone from being almost dead last out of the 50+ Rush stores to being in the top three consistently and some months getting the coveted number one spot. Doug is 45 years old. Doug likes to cook, especially Cajun food and when he's not working or marketing he spends his time with his family and his dogs. (The cat just puts up with him.) He enjoys educating others in his fields of expertise including trucking, marketing, and the occasional chess game. He is a fierce and loyal friend. Doug may live in Arizona but Mississippi is his home. His uniquely southern outlook on life brings with it a fresh and unique perspective to the transportation industry. Doug's clients come first and foremost. Ask anyone who has ever dealt with Doug and you'll get the same story: Honesty, Integrity, More a friend than a salesman! Doug has most recently begun a marketing "shift" to cutting edge technologies including podcasting. He works with large multi-truck fleets as well as first time buyers. If you are looking for your next truck and want the "straight skinny" then look no further than Doug Shields. He is honest, he is hardworking, and he is one of the good guys.
