Administration

- Email Al Chandler
- Al Chandler, CEO
- Mr. Chandler is a self-described "been there, done that" sort of guy.

Since then life’s adventure has taken Al along a great path. Among other professions Al has been a gandy dancer for the railroad, a newspaper sports writer, an advertising salesman for both newspapers and television stations, a fishing and big game outfitter in Montana’s Bob Marshall Wilderness and then to becoming a building contractor first in Montana and later in Washington State. It was during his years as a contractor that Al came across his idea to secure his tools in his truck out of fear of theft. For Al, development of the TruckVault Company was more accidental than planned but this too has been a great ride. First working with sportsman from coast to coast and eventually with law enforcement and public safety individuals has proven to be the most enjoyable part of his trip along life’s path. He often says, “I have never worked with more enjoyable people in my life than I have with our TruckVault Clientele." Al is a devoted family man and has a wonderful wife, a daughter and son-in-law, and grandkids that he dotes over.
