Louisville Switching Blog

Louisville Switching is your local one-stop-shop for all things Ottawa. From servicing, rentals and leasing, to individual parts sales, we can do it all in the convenience of one location. Our parts department has seen tremendous growth within our company over the last year and will continue to do so in the future. 

Everything from meal prep services to groceries, clothes, and even cars can be delivered straight to your door. As such, we think it's a fair statement to say that e-commerce is revolutionizing the way we purchase everything. As a result, brick and mortar stores are having to change the way they operate, the economy is shifting, and the logistics industry is required to become ever more efficient.

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.
