“We wanted to find a good partner that would assure a great transition and future, not only for our customer base, but for our employees as well,” Carlson said in a release. “For over 30 years, our company slogan has been ‘Dealing With the Best.’ By joining forces with FleetPride, that tradition of service continues.”

Formed in 1999 and headquartered in Irving, Texas, FleetPride is the nation’s largest distributor of truck and trailer parts in the independent heavy-duty aftermarket channel.
