Hunter Truck announces its Scranton, Pa., location will be moving to its permanent home this fall at 2900 Stafford Avenue, Scranton, PA 18505, on Jan. 6, to continue serving customers in the greater Scranton area.
“We are excited to add a state-of-the-art, full service Peterbilt dealership to our network,” says President Jeffrey Hunter. “We are committed to bringing personalized sales, parts, service, body shop repairs, and leasing to our customers in the Scranton area.”
The new facility will boast a total of 45,000 sq.-ft., with 24 service bays along with a separate 13,000 sq.-ft., body shop facility located on site. The Hunter Truck team designed an easily accessible property featuring a covered drive under canopy, advanced air-conditioned service area, and more.
“We are excited that our new building project is under way and full speed ahead,” says Justin Morgan, general manager. “We are most grateful for the patience of our dedicated employees and loyal customers as we transition to our new facility in Scranton.”

The company says the Hunter Truck – Scranton location replaces its previous Hunter Truck – Pocono branch, which was located in Bartonsville, Pa. Adding this new state-of-the-art Hunter Truck facility enables the company to be closer to customers and better serve their heavy-duty trucking needs.
“The Scranton service team is excited to support our customers with our new shop, driver’s lounge, and overall dealership to better fit their needs,” says Steven Gower, service manager. “We also offer road service, so even if you can’t make it into our new shop, you can receive our services on your site.”
The new Scranton body shop will feature the newest tools for frame repairs, wheel alignment and refinishing. Hunter Truck says the team will be able to utilize this new space to not only repair damaged trucks, but also turn them into showstoppers with our Global Finishing Solutions (GFS) downdraft paint baking booth, detail bays, BeeLine frame press, and Hunter alignment equipment.
“Our new body shop will put us on the leading edge of truck collision repair in our region, allowing us to establish direct repair agreements with every insurance carrier in our surrounding area,” says Michael Santarsiero, body shop manager. “Having a top-tier facility will also allow us to attract the best technicians available, who, naturally, would prefer to work in such an environment.”
On top of the new service and body shop areas, the company adds the parts department will hold over $4.5 million in parts inventory, allowing the Scranton parts team to get customers what they need every day, twice a day. With a convenient showroom for walk-in customers to visit and a separate call center, the parts team is ready to help our wide range of customers’ needs, the company says.
“Our new building in Scranton will have one of the largest truck part inventories in northeast Pennsylvania,” says John Wilson, parts manager. “With our large inventory, experienced parts sales team, and our second-to-none parts delivery service, the Hunter Truck – Scranton customer experience will be unmatched.”
