FleetPride announced Tuesday it has acquired the assets of Commercial Truck Service (CTS) of Little Rock and Conway, Ark.

CTS was founded by Joel and Lana Foster of White Hall, Ark., and Darryl and Jaci Birdsong of Conway. Joel and Darryl will remain onboard to support the integration of CTS into FleetPride and the day-to-day operations moving forward.

“Today’s announcement represents a great opportunity to expand our presence in the Little Rock market,” says Mike Harris, FleetPride senior vice president of sales and operations. “CTS is well known in central Arkansas for fast, dependable truck and trailer repair, and they have a reputation for excellent customer service.”

“We are thrilled to join the FleetPride network,” add the founders of CTS. “It was important for us to partner with a company that would allow us to expand into a robust parts business and provide ample opportunities for our employees.”

Harris says bringing together parts and service operations of CTS is an exciting opportunity for FleetPride.

“In addition to merging our current Little Rock business into the CTS location, we will immediately begin construction on a new parts department in Conway. Bringing our two teams together creates great opportunities for employees while providing customers with a better overall experience in Little Rock and Conway.”
