History of Liberty Rail Services

Blake Maynard spent several years managing car fleets. During that time, he discovered that many times when a car was held up in the shop it was mostly due to valve related issues.  There just wasn’t many businesses that could help with the reconditioning side of the valve world.  Liberty Rail Services was created to minimize the shop days for cars and in some mobile repair cases, out of a shop altogether.  Liberty Rail Services keeps a large inventory of parts, seal kits and valves so that customers don’t have to wait.  Our team understands what it means to have a car stuck in a repair shop and not moving product.

Chad Clopp

DIRECTOR OF SALES

Chad was the first employee at Liberty Rail Services, and has over 12 years of experience in the rail industry. He has conducted valve reconditioning, helped build multiple different valve facilities throughout North America and spent some time branching outside the valve world in order to become more well-rounded in this industry. He says his greatest accomplishment of all was finding his way back to LRS, working in a position focused on helping it grow.
