    “This new state-of-the-art facility will allow us to support a growing customer base and expand the district’s footprint,” said Mike Pritchard, SVP of the North Central region at Penske Truck Leasing. “Not only does it exceed expectation in size, it is also outfitted with innovative technology to keep pace with the growth and current demand of the transportation industry.” 

    The site measures 22,898 square feet and sits on 41.1 acres. There are five drive-through bays with 10 service areas, an automated wash bay, and a full-service fuel island at the facility.

    Last year, Penske Truck Leasing opened new facilities in Illinois, Mexico, and Alabama, according to the company’s website. It also acquired other leasing companies, including Star Truck Rentals and Kris-Way Truck Leasing, and expanded into the EV space with Xos electric step vans.
