Tyler McCormick grew up in a small town in Arcade New York after high school to secure a future in what he considered a better economy. Ten years later he’s the owner of Sweetie Boy Delivers LLC and Sweetie Boy Repair, in Chesterfield, Virginia.

 

Tyler started out slow with used trucks and lots of cold sales calls, and before long his name and reputation had spread; his business was growing. His entrepreneurial passion and perseverance have paid off. Now he has two thriving businesses featuring a fleet of 38 semi-trucks, 4 rollback trucks, 2 mobile repair vans, and 73 dedicated employees. Along with the success of Sweetie Boy Delivers, he started Sweetie Boy Repair.

​

When asked why Tyler settled on Sweetie Boy he says, “that was my Dad’s nickname for me,” he said.  When asked if he gets any ribbing because of it, he says it’s not usually him that gets the bulk of it, “everyone gives me crap about it, but it’s my drivers that get it the most, but they know the meaning behind it and are proud to be part of the Sweetie Boy team.

​

“If anything,” he added, “the name helps business! People usually remember it.”
