Lesia joined CTR in 2018, bringing with her more than 35 years of industry experience. She had worked alongside many members of the CTR team long before officially joining the company, so when the opportunity came, it didn’t feel like a new job but it felt like family.

Most days, Lesia is already working by 6 a.m. She values the quiet hours before sunrise, using that time to stay focused and get ahead before the phones start ringing. And if something critical needs to be handled over the weekend, she doesn’t hesitate, she takes care of it.

While her primary role is purchasing, Lesia also receives all incoming inventory, supports accounts payable, and ensures that the right parts are delivered to the correct locations with zero confusion and no delays. Her attention to detail and follow-through help keep operations running smoothly.

When urgent situations arise, such as overnight parts needed for an emergency crew, Lesia acts immediately. If running freight herself is what it takes to keep a job on track, that’s exactly what she’ll do. She understands that one missed delivery can cost thousands, and she takes that responsibility seriously.

Ask anyone at CTR, and they’ll tell you the same thing: Lesia is always there when you need her. Call her anytime, and she answers.

But for Lesia, the best part of the job is the people. Whether she’s working remotely or walking through the Baytown shop, hearing “Hello, Miss Lesia” from the team is a constant reminder of why she loves being part of CTR.
