Employee Spotlight: Rodney Cantrell

Meet Rodney Cantrell, Shop Service Technician in Muskogee, OK!

Rodney recently celebrated 31 combined years of service with Hugg & Hall and Southern Material Handling Company! He worked at SMHC before Hugg & Hall acquired the company in early 2022. We’re so glad to have such a dedicated employee on our team!

Rodney is a Muskogee local, born and raised. He loves living in Muskogee and said “My family is from here, so it feels like home.” 

As a Shop Service Technician, Rodney’s always working on something new. “My work day is never boring; there’s something different going on every day. I could be performing a major repair, such as a transmission or engine repair, or doing accessory installations.” 

Rodney’s favorite part of working at Hugg & Hall are all the memories and the good people he’s worked with over the years.

At work, Rodney lives by some sage advice from his Vo-Tech instructor: “If you don’t have time to do a job properly, then you’d better have time to do it twice.” 

Outside of work, Rodney is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys camping and hunting ducks and deer. He’s a retired volunteer firefighter and a current dirt track racer.

Rodney races a factory stock car locally, and he got into racing as a teenager by helping his uncle out with his car. “When I was able to, I got my own car, and I’ve been racing off and on the rest of my life.”
