Dobbs Leasing has been named PacLease’s 2023 North American Franchise of the Year.
Headquartered in Sumner, Wash., the franchise began operating as a PacLease franchise in 1987 and has since grown to 15 locations in seven states. The award builds on Dobbs’ continued success — it also was recognized as PacLease’s U.S. Peterbilt Franchise of the Year in 2018 and 2020.
According to Ken Roemer, president of Paccar Leasing, Dobbs Leasing continues to grow in both sales and customer satisfaction, achieving a 71% year-over-year increase in total vehicles in-serviced with PacLease. The company also added three locations in 2023 (in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas) while achieving a significant year-over-year increase in total vehicle count.

“Those are remarkable achievements,” says Roemer. “They’ve seen consistent growth for the past four consecutive years, while also increasing their rental fleet size to further serve their customer needs. With high customer retention rates, achieved through premium Peterbilt medium and heavy-duty trucks backed with excellent service levels, Dobbs Leasing is a standout organization. What’s more, with a mobile service fleet of 15 trucks, they can take maintenance services to their customers, helping them reduce downtime.”
In addition to its North American Franchise of the Year award, PacLease also recognized its top U.S. and Canadian franchises this week.
