Louisville Switching Blog

Louisville Switching is a dealer of Insta-Chain, an automatic ice-chain brand. Insta-Chains is a chain attachment that can installed onto a truck to increase traction during unsafe weather conditions. During snow and icy road conditions, it is important to equip your vehicle with proper tools to ensure the safety of the driver. Our certified auto mechanics are able to install Insta-Chains here in our local service shop. Don't wait until winter gets here to focus on how to protect you and your truck from dangerous road conditions. 

Has your yard truck been through the wringer? Years of service and a tough job create wear-and-tear on your yard truck, leaving you to consider your options for upgrading your fleet. Rest assured, your beloved yard truck may still have some years left in it yet. Refurbishment can be the answer you are looking for in order to improve the quality of your vehicle.

In July, we introduced 8 new 2018 Ottawa T2 DOT Units we had in our stock truck inventory. The buzz about these trucks was huge, and since then, all of our units have either been sold or spoken for, and we're eager to get more trucks in! At Louisville Switching, we provide top quality products, excellent customer service, and fair prices to guarantee your trucking needs and wants are adequately met.

If you've been following our blog and social media for any amount of time, you know we love to share about great eats and local restaurants in our home city of Louisville, KY. As much as we love sharing about our industry and all things trucks, occasionally we take a break to share about another love of ours- great eats! In the past we sat down for an interview with the owner of Varanese and River House to learn about the history and inspirations for the restaurants. We also attended a beer dinner at La Chasse and had the opportunity to interview the owner as well. 

Online Shopping Dominating the Market

We’re embarking on a new series here on the Louisville Switching blog. It will deal with the economic shift that’s being created as retail is dying and online e commerce sales are rising. Let’s face the music, most of what we buy is being shipped directly to us— including our groceries.

We have several new additions to our fleet of Ottawa yard trucks for sale and a few have already been sold. If you're interested in purchasing a yard truck, don't wait until it's too late. See below for yard trucks that we currently have available for purchase.  

When you buy from Louisville Switching, you're guaranteeing an investment in the highest quality of services, fair pricing, and ongoing excellent customer service. From sales to regular maintenance, we are a one-stop shop for all things Ottawa. We can even perform factory warranty work as an Ottawa Service Center. 

Buying one Ottawa Yard Truck is a big investment and should be treated as such. Buying a fleet of yard trucks is no small task either. Our sales process is customer-focused and each person on our sales team is there to guide you through the entire process. You may have heard that we have been growing and we are thrilled to introduce you to our newest addition, Larry Thacker. 

Larry joined us in early 2018, but has known Don for years and has quickly come to know and enhance our capabilities and values well. Larry is a member of our sales team and is dedicated to selling, renting, and leasing our new, used, and refurbished Kalmar Ottawa Yard Trucks.
