Wabash National adds TEC Equipment as West Coast dealer

May 19, 2014

TEC Equipment, a Portland, OR-based truck dealer with 19 locations along the West Coast, is now an authorized Wabash National Corp. dealer. The company will provide sales, parts and service for Wabash National, Transcraft and Benson brand trailers in California, Oregon and Washington.

“The agreement with TEC Equipment is one more step in executing Wabash National Corporation’s strategic growth plan as we expand access and service along the West Coast,” said Dick Giromini, president and CEO Wabash National.

Beginning this month, TEC Equipment will facilitate the transition of three Wabash National Trailer Centers to independent dealer facilities operated by TEC Equipment. These locations in Portland, OR, and Sacramento and Fontana, CA, will add to the geographic footprint of TEC Equipment’s four existing locations that will sell and service Wabash National, Transcraft and Benson products.

“TEC Equipment has extensive expertise in the business and a long history of providing effective transportation solutions to its customer base,” said Brent Yeagy, group president of Commercial Trailer Products at Wabash National. “We are pleased to welcome TEC Equipment to the team as we strengthen our competitive presence on the West Coast, while continuing to expand and elevate our dealer network to provide the level of support our customers expect.”

TEC Equipment will carry new model year Wabash National dry and refrigerated vans, and Transcraft and Benson platform trailers, in addition to being outfitted with a full selection of parts through Aurora Parts & Accessories, LLC, the exclusive supplier of authorized parts for Wabash National.

“Aurora looks forward to this new partnership with the TEC Equipment team,” said Mike Conley, vice president of sales at Aurora Parts & Accessories. “We are committed to providing the highest level of parts and service support to ensure a seamless transition for the local customer base and our national fleet customers through FleetPerform.”

“We are very excited about our new relationship with Wabash National,” said TEC Equipment CEO and President Dave Thompson. “As the largest full-service truck dealership on the West Coast, TEC is positioned to service small and large fleets alike as our trailer sales and support division grows with the addition of Wabash National’s portfolio of high-quality vans and platform trailers.”
