Next Meeting! - Air Brake Troubleshooting
MAGS is please to present Roland Lemoine from Sanel Auto Parts to be our feature presenter
for the March 2010 meeting. Roland will discuss air system troubleshooting and why it is
important in today’s repair shops and fleets.
Roland has been actively involved in the New Hampshire Heavy Duty industry throughout his
40 plus year career. As a young man Roland started working in his father’s repair shop. He also
repaired the fleet at Hertz Rental Trucks and was a firefighter mechanic for the City of Concord,
NH for many years. As his career progressed he had the opportunity to work for Casella Waste
Systems repairing their fleet throughout New England.
Sanel Auto Parts has benefited from Roland’s hard work for many years. Roland had been the
mechanic fixing all of Sanel’s equipment, including on highway and off highway. He has also
been the Heavy Duty Manager at the Concord, NH location and currently holds the position of
Trainer in the Heavy Duty division of Sanel Auto Parts.
Roland is proud to be a founding member of MAGS and a past president. We look forward to his
presentation.
