NORCROSS, Ga., Oct. 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Peach State Truck Centers is a prominent heavy-duty
truck dealer that has been family owned and operated since 1974.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Peach State
Truck Centers, which started as a single location in the heart of
Georgia and has since experienced
substantial growth across Georgia
and Alabama. "When I think of 50
years, one word comes to mind: Gratitude," said Rick Reynolds, current owner and dealer
principal.
To commemorate the milestone, the company has produced a
one-hour documentary film detailing the history of Peach State
Truck Centers and its growth into one of the largest commercial
vehicle dealership groups in the country. Tom Reynolds started Peach State Ford, a
standalone dealership with a handful of employees and a small
inventory of Ford Commercial trucks in Norcross, Georgia in 1974. As the city of
Atlanta experienced major growth
over the years, so did Peach State Truck Centers. In 2007, the
company acquired Atlanta Freightliner, which expanded the business
with additional locations and several new brand offerings.
Today Peach State is operated by Tom's son Rick, and the company
has over 700 employees, 13 locations in Georgia and Alabama with one under construction, and still
carries Ford products along with major on-highway, vocational,
pupil and emergency transportation brands like Freightliner,
Western Star, Thomas Built Buses, SelecTrucks and Spartan. Peach
State is also dedicated to its charitable foundation that supports
the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory
University in Atlanta. The
company remains an active supporter contributing to several
initiatives including the annual Winship 5K, which is also in Atlanta.
Peach State continues to thrive through the execution of
customer experience strategies, technology investments, and an
intense focus on individual employee satisfaction through talent
development, rewards and recognition programs and engagement
initiatives. These strategies and investments, along with Peach
State's commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of
others, has positioned them to continue to thrive for the next 50
years.
Peach State Truck Centers' 50th anniversary is a year
of gratitude for all the company's loyal employees and customers.
