Why do you sell both trucks & parts?

The commonality and collaborative nature of the two businesses ranks as one of our strongest competitive advantages. Some of the reasons are:

1. Our ability to market both trucks and heavy-duty truck parts enables us to secure a preferred buyer advantage with major suppliers. Our massive buying power makes it possible for us to participate in fleet bids, when suppliers are disposing of large quantities of their inventory. Furthermore, we can "cherry pick" the best vehicles for reconditioning and resale and utilize the remaining inventory for component parts.
   
2. Our vast inventory of trucks and heavy-duty truck parts allows us to offer our products at many different price levels. In other words, we have the truck or truck part to fit your budget. And because we stock such a big selection of new, rebuilt, reconditioned and used inventory, for both truck sales and heavy-duty truck parts sales, we save our customers both time and money.
   
3. The relationship between sales of trucks and heavy-duty truck parts is a natural association. Our knowledge of both allows us to cross train our employees and provide our industry expertise to our customers.
   
4. Our inventory, of both trucks & parts, enables us to provide expert recommendations and "One Stop Shopping" services to our clients, both domestically and on a worldwide basis.
