Stoops Freightliner Expands Their Midwest Footprint with New Fort Wayne Location

Fort Wayne, IN, July 13, 2009 --(PR.com)-- A new Stoops Freightliner Quality Trailer location is now open and has been immediately noted as a landmark facility in the North American commercial truck sales and service markets. Located in suburban Fort Wayne, Indiana, the location will elevate customer expectations for service and convenience. With over 60,000 square feet of space on 15 acres, the building is designed to service a high volume of customer traffic with diverse equipment and service needs. In addition, Stoops Freightliner’s commitment to the environment is evidenced by energy-efficient features designed into the facility.

"The New Haven, Indiana location will be recognized for the unprecedented capabilities we can now offer our customers" remarks Jeff Stoops, Owner of Stoops Freightliner. "Even more important is that each feature of our location was designed with the customer in mind. Our goal is to continuously listen to the owner operators and fleets that support us and in turn, build our locations and services around the feedback we receive. We have definitely accomplished that goal here in Northeast Indiana.”

Conveniently located at the intersection of I-469 and US30, the familiar services of Stoops Freightliner are all available from the New Haven team from truck sales and parts to the well recognized Express Assessment service program. Getting your equipment in for service is fast and easy due to the 26 bays available for commercial repair, Sprinter service, truck wash, oil change service and more. There is a large classroom and in-shop service library with internet access to ensure technicians have access to the latest repair protocols available in both print and on the internet. Truckers are afforded their own HDTV lounge, Wi-Fi, private showers and laundry facilities while families with recreational vehicles wait in the comfort of a separate relaxation space.

Numerous “green” features are incorporated throughout the location. Recycled road paving was used to complete the base of the parking lot and motion control sensors reduce office lighting consumption. The key example of efficiency is the shop floor heating system. The shop temperature is maintained by radiant floor heat that is produced using reclaimed petroleum products. A 10,000 gallon tank stores fuel for use during colder months.
