We now have the ability to provide the high level of service our customers expect from the Kenworth brand,” says Mike Clark, President of CSM Truck. “The current economic expansion is placing ever increasing demands on our customers. Our goal is to provide consistent, high-quality support so that they can meet their commitments.  To do that we provide up-to-date service equipment, factory trained technicians, large replacement part inventories, rental vehicles, and concierge service support nationwide.”

“Mike and Jim’s many years of experience with Kenworth and in the Michigan market will give our customers and employees the support and leadership they expect and deserve,” Clark says.
