We all know the economy has been tough the last several years. Are we turning the corner? Your guess is as good as ours. So in our mind, it’s still a great time to buy used and to refurbish. Or why not let us re-power and refurbish your existing truck. Are the frame and cab good? If you’re thinking about going that route, it’s one of our specialties. It’s in our bailiwick as they say. Our sweet spot. It’s almost our favorite thing to do, besides play golf.

We wanted to take a minute and remind everyone that the Mid America Truck Show is just two weeks away. The show runs from March 31 – April 2 at the Kentucky Exposition Center.

This is typically the largest show held in Louisville, Kentucky. If you’ve never been, it’s a lot to take in. Just like in years past, Louisville Switching Truck Sales will set up a booth and will be on-site all weekend to talk with attendees and answer any questions they may have.

The show is always a great place to see old friends in the industry, form new relationships as we did last year, and engage with the trucking community.

Here are a few reminders:
• You can pre-register online. Since we’ve passed the free registration date of March 1, online registration is $10.
• Each attendee must register individually.

Here are some ways you can stay in the loop:
• Follow The Truck Show on Twitter
• Fan them on Facebook
• Visit the show’s website
• Contact us with any questions

You can also get updates from Louisville Switching by following us on Twitter and Facebook.

We look forward to seeing you there!

New Service Truck Purchased

Posted by Joel Gerdis

We finally bought another service truck! After a long and hard search, we decided to purchase a partially refurbished 1996 model. We did most of the fine-tuning in our shop with our team. Since a big part of our business is buying and refurbishing used Ottawa and Kalmar trucks to lease or sell to our customers, we thought, why not use the same process to find our service truck? When we started the search, we knew we needed a truck that had a mounted crane and would be able to lift heavy parts in the field. This can lead to less down time and less cost in transporting a truck back to our bay for service. This truck has proven to serve those needs well and it’s made our service tech, Gordon very happy. That’s important to us.
