Jackson Group Peterbilt has expanded its network with the purchase of Peterbilt of Wyoming from Fred and Bill DeVore. The transaction was supported by Performance Brokerage Services' Pat Albero and Dan Argiro and adds locations in Casper, Rock Springs, Cheyenne and Riverton, Wyo., to the Jackson Group Network.
Peterbilt of Wyoming, founded by Stanley DeVore in 1949, is a third-generation family business. The dealerships offer Peterbilt and Isuzu trucks, as well as Landoll, Doonan, and Sidump’r trailers. Since 2005, the business has been jointly managed by brothers Fred and Bill DeVore, who continued the legacy established by their father, Stanley DeVore, Jr., president since 1969.
“Selling our family’s dealership group was one of the biggest decisions we’ve ever made, and I can’t say enough about the incredible job Pat Albero and Dan Argiro did throughout the process. From the very beginning, they demonstrated a deep understanding of the Paccar network and took the time to truly understand our goals and priorities,” says Fred DeVore.

“Their commitment to maintaining confidentiality and their professionalism in handling every detail gave us complete confidence in their abilities. They handled all the heavy lifting, from vetting buyers to navigating complex negotiations, while allowing us to focus on running the business as if it were not for sale. Thanks to their expertise and hard work, we successfully sold our dealership to a buyer we feel is the perfect fit. We highly recommend Pat and Dan to anyone considering buying or selling a dealership. They exceeded our expectations and made this major milestone a smooth and positive experience.”
Adds Albero, “It has been a great privilege to work with Fred and Bill DeVore on the successful sale of Peterbilt of Wyoming. Our team was fully committed to providing consistent guidance at every stage of the process. Collaborating with Fred and Bill was incredibly rewarding, as their dedication to preserving the family’s legacy business of 75 years was evident throughout the transaction. I take immense pride in the hard work and dedication our team invested to ensure the process was smooth and the outcome successful. I am excited to see the continued growth and success that Blake Jackson and Jackson Group Peterbilt will experience as they move forward with this exciting new chapter.”
Jackson Group Peterbilt is family-owned and operates over 30 dealerships across eight states: Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Founded in 1977 by Eric Jackson, the company experienced exponential growth under the leadership of Blake Jackson, who became the sole owner after buying out his father’s shares in 2005. Since then, Jackson Group Peterbilt has continued to expand through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
“Working with Pat Albero, Dan Argiro, and Alex Argiro was an exceptional experience. From the first conversation to the final closing, their professionalism, transparency, and attention to detail stood out at every step of the process. As a buyer, I appreciated how well they understood the business and its operations, providing clear and thorough information that made decision-making seamless,” says Blake Jackson.
