The move is part of Palmer Trucks’ commitment to offering top-notch services and maintaining a trusted presence in the region.
With an emphasis on efficiency, Palmer Trucks’ Kenworth factory-trained diesel technicians operate in an expanded shop, ensuring commercial trucks are swiftly back on the road. The dealership leverages world-class parts availability through PACCAR Parts, enhancing the overall service experience.
General Manager JD Miller expresses excitement about the expanded regional footprint, stating, “We are thrilled to be a reliable source for commercial trucks, parts, and repairs in Northeastern Indiana. Our increased service bay capacity and readily available parts aim to maximize truck uptime for local and transient customers along I-69 and the Indiana Toll Road.”
