November Blog - Big Changes...

Well winter has arrived and so has some changes at CTS. As some may already know CTS was acquired by the Inland Kenworth dealership group based out of Burnaby, BC. Here is the official announcement from the President and COO of Inland, Bill Currie.

Dear customers and vendors,

We are thrilled to announce that Inland has acquired Custom Truck Sales (CTS Kenworth), a well-established Kenworth dealer operating in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. They are also the Doepker and Globe Trailer dealer for Manitoba, providing high quality specialty vocational trailers. With six impressive facilities – in Regina, Saskatoon, Estevan, Swift Current, Winnipeg, and Brandon – and 53 years in the business, they are a fantastic addition to Inland.

We chose CTS because our companies hold similar values: providing excellent service and quality products with an emphasis on honesty and integrity. CTS’s award winning service and excellent reputation in their marketplace align perfectly with our commitment to customers.

This strategic acquisition is centered around our customers, as we understand the importance of having convenient dealerships you can rely on. The addition of these six locations now provides you with 35 Inland locations throughout Western Canada and Southwestern U.S.

This is an exciting time for Inland, as 2019 marks our 70th anniversary. We have grown from a small town dealership to one of the largest truck and equipment dealers in North America. Our business strength is still in the relationships we have. When choosing Inland, you are partnering with a large network that provides industry leading parts, service, sales and leasing, as well as a close relationship with a company who cares about your success.

Moving forward, Custom Truck Sales will be operating with the same facilities and expert personnel currently in place. We hope to see you stop by these new locations when driving through Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Sincerely,

Bill Currie

President and Chief Operating Officer

Inland

Being a part of the second largest Kenworth dealer I am truly excited for the new opportunities this will bring. We will have strengthened dealer support for our customers when travelling to California, Arizona, New Mexico and British Columbia in addition to the existing dealers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

T880S with Sleeper

A few years ago Kenworth launched the T880S model which is the set forward axle for vocational applications. Just recently we are now offering sleepers on this configuration. Here is an example of what is available.

For customers that require a sleeper with a set forward axle and a shorter wheelbase this is a perfect addition to our product offering.
