The service department has 20 bays and displays parts in a 1,600 sq.-ft. case to attend to local and national customers. For remote or emergency roadside service, the dealership offers a mobile unit team of specialists.

The opening of this location marks Kenworth of Louisiana’s largest facility among six others, including Harahan, Carencro, Lake Charles, Monroe, Gray and Port Allen. They all provide Kenworth TruckTech+ Service Management and Remote Diagnostics.

Kenworth of Louisiana – Shreveport also has sales support, leasing and rental services and is a multi-line trailer dealer with new and used flatdeck, as well as heavy haul and drop deck offerings.
