True North Fleet Services announced on Tuesday a partnership with Miles Truck Services to expand its footprint into Indiana and Michigan.
"Expanding True North into the American Midwest marks an important strategic milestone for our platform and we're thrilled to find the perfect partner in the region with Mike Mannell and his team at Miles," says Gary Price, CEO of True North. "For more than two decades, Miles has maintained a strong reputation across northern Indiana and southern Michigan for delivering reliable, high quality truck and trailer repair services. The company's long-standing relationships with municipal fleet customers throughout the region are a testament to the business's exceptional track record and consistency."

Its service capabilities include electrical, wheel and transmission service, preventative maintenance, DOT inspections, hydraulic repairs, brake system servicing and 24-hour roadside emergency assistance. It will now gain access to True North's capital resources, advanced technology and back-office support.
