Patriot Truck and Trailer was founded by Doug Cummings in 2003 and serves the Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana area with extensive fleet maintenance, repair, and parts for all makes and models of heavy-duty trucks and trailers. Through the acquisition, FleetPride says customers in Texarkana will now gain additional access to FleetPride’s breadth of products, national footprint, and supply chain, including daily replenishment from FleetPride’s Dallas distribution center.
“Today’s announcement is very exciting, as we welcome Doug Cummings and the entire team at Patriot Truck and Trailer to the FleetPride family,” says Mike Harris, FleetPride senior vice president of sales and branch operations. “Patriot Truck and Trailer has a rich history in the trucking industry with a great reputation in Texarkana and surrounding markets. Doug has built a strong team culture, which makes this a great addition to FleetPride.”
“Since our inception, Patriot Truck and Trailer has been providing exceptional quality truck and trailer parts and repairs along with unparalleled customer service,” says Cummings. “It is with great pleasure that we announce the next chapter in our history as we transition to FleetPride. Our customers can expect the same commitment to professionalism and assured value in the years to follow.”
Harris adds the addition of Patriot Truck and Trailer expands the company’s national footprint of FleetPride Service Centers, adding more service bays and skilled technicians. “Expanding service is a natural fit, and we look forward to working with Doug and his team,” he says.
