Velocity Truck Centers (VTC) has acquired Central California Truck and Trailer Sales (CCTTS), an independent used-truck and new/used trailer retailer in California.

Warren Auwae, CCTTS founder, has joined VTC and will be responsible for the combined trailer and used truck operations of CCTTS and VTC, according to the announcement.

With the combination of CCTTS’ six locations in California and VTC’s nine locations, the group becomes one of the largest volume retailers of used trucks in the west with 15 total locations across California, Arizona and Nevada, the company says. CCTTS brings expertise in new and used trailer sales to the VTC family. In addition CCTTS will now be able to offer financing through VTC sister company, Crossroads Equipment Lease and Finance.

“We are very excited to welcome CCTTS to the Velocity family. Warren and his sales team are best in class in all metrics and will bring additional skills and perspective to the Velocity network. We are especially excited to have Warren’s entrepreneurial drive and depth of experience in truck and trailer sales as an addition to our senior management team,” says Brad Fauvre, VTC co-president.

“We want to enthusiastically welcome the CCTTS employees into our organization. The CCTTS brand will remain in the marketplace strengthened by the VTC network and we look forward to growing together with our new team members and customers in the coming years,” says Conan Barker, VTC co-president.

“We feel like we found the perfect home for our employees and customers. We are excited for the opportunity and see real growth potential with the combined forces,” Auwae says.

Velocity Truck Centers, a part of the Velocity Vehicle Group, operates commercial vehicle dealerships across California, Arizona, Nevada and Hawaii.
