Louisville Switching Blog

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.

Introducing Larry Thacker 

We have an immediate opening for a diesel mechanic who has previous mechanical experience and knowledge of the upkeep and repair of diesel engines. This is a great position for someone looking to start a second career.

Louisville Switching has once again been named as a Kalmar Ottawa Premier Partner Dealer. We were first named a Premier Partner Dealer in 2014 and have been recognized as such 3 times out of the last 4 years. 

We are incredibly humbled to be recognized as a Premier Partner dealer along with a few of our peers and are proud to be a part of the larger Kalmar Ottawa family! They continuously lead the industry to new heights and have recently announced a fully electric Kalmar Ottawa terminal tractor.

Over the years our Parts Department has expanded to supply thousands of parts to customers across the world. Just recently we sent a part all the way to Malaysia! In addition to expanding our selection of parts and adding warehouse space, we've also built a team dedicated to getting you the parts you need, when you need them. Chris Cassady is one of the newest members of our parts department and we're excited to introduce him to you!

Louisville Switching has the capability to customize Ottawa T2 yard trucks in numerous ways! On the inside, you can choose to add an AM/FM radio, an air conditioning system, deluxe air ride seats and a number of other deluxe features. On the outside, you can decide if you want heated mirrors, moto-mirrors, side door, cab guards, window guards, flexible fenders, engine upgrades and perhaps the most exciting customization option is choosing your truck's paint color. You can customize the color to match your company colors.  

Monu Shinchoury dedicated two years to Louisville Switching as our Stock Clerk and worked to keep our truck parts stocked and organized. Day to day, she shelved stock orders, shipped out parts, took parts to the shop, and received the parts in the warehouse. It's been a bittersweet time at Louisville Switching the past couple of week's as we have celebrated Monu as she begins a new position. 

As you know, we consider ourselves pretty big foodies and we always look forward to trying all the new restaurants that pop up in Louisville. But, we also have a few local staples we keep going back to. One of those is Varanese! Another one is La Chasse, which we wrote about in February when we had the privilege of interviewing the owner, Isaac Fox. 

We recently spoke with John Varanese, owner of Varanese and River House, two Louisville (and Louisville Switching) favorites! Read about the history, menus, and more of these two fantastic restaurants below.
