FleetPride announced that it has acquired the assets of Nationwide Truck Service of Louisville, Kentucky.

Founded in 1989 and owned by Eric Adkins, Nationwide Truck Service offers a wide range of repair services from its 21-bay facility and mobile repair units in addition to 24/7 roadside support.

The Service Center at 355 Farmington Ave. will team up with the existing FleetPride parts branch at 4670 Jennings Lane in Louisville, “creating a complete value proposition for customers,” according to FleetPride. Adkins and his son, Jake, will remain involved in the day-to-day operations.

“This is an outstanding opportunity for our valued customers and our team,” said Adkins. “Our customers will appreciate the access to a nationwide network of parts and service, and our employees will have the ability to grow and advance in FleetPride’s new service organization.”

“We are truly excited to welcome Eric and Jake Adkins and the entire Nationwide Truck Service team to the FleetPride family,” said Cory Anderson, general manager and vice president of service at FleetPride. “Over the past three decades, the Nationwide team has become one of the most trusted independent service providers, which customers have come to depend on, in Louisville.”

“Growth through acquisitions remains a focus for our company,” said Mike Harris, senior vice president of sales and operations at FleetPride. “We believe our value proposition resonates with owners of parts and service companies who are seeking a succession plan, or a partner that can provide a long-term foundation for their employees and customers. We look forward to the partnership with the Nationwide Truck Service team to carry on their tradition of service excellence while expanding service capabilities to our existing customers including large regional and national fleets.”

FleetPride continues to grow its national parts and service operations. If you are interested in learning more about how to become part of the FleetPride network, visit

Wow, that's truly incredible! I didn't even know about that. I know that some people might not agree with me on this one, but I think it's great for both FleetPride and Nationwide Truck Service of Louisville, Kentucky. It will help both of these companies evolve much more and finally reach a higher level.

He had a very old truck that was in a terrible state, but he didn't want to sell it. When he moved to the UK, he decided to take it with him, and I still don't know why. But still, my mom made him sell it as she found the guys from

and they were ready to pay a good price for that.

Now my wife is telling me the same thing about my own truck

      Hey guys, new to the forum here. I'm trying to get some advice on a truck I just purchased. It's a 1977 Dodge D100 5.9 360 2wd single cab longbox.73,000 original km. Trying to decide if a truck like this is worth a full restoration? Are these a desired truck? Do people ever restore them? Or are these a dime a dozen sort of deal? Not very familiar with classics and there values. I am a light duty auto mechanic and shouldnt have many problems doing the job. I just want to make sure it's worth the time and money. Any advice would be appreciated!

      link hidden, please login to viewannounced the acquisition of Kohl Auto Parts, a trusted name in McCook, Nebraska for decades. This move strengthens Arnold Motor Supply’s commitment to providing top-quality parts and service to automotive professionals and DIYers, the company said. A news release about the acquisition explained that Kohl Auto Parts has a rich history, originally founded as Sidles in the 1950s before becoming Mr. Automotive in the 1970s. Neal Kohl purchased the store in 1986, and his son, Barry Kohl, took ownership in 1992. Barry later rebranded the business as Kohl Auto Parts in 1999. Over the years, it has become a staple in the McCook community, known for its expertise and customer service.
      “We’re honored to continue the legacy built by the Kohl family and to bring expanded products and support to the McCook area,” said Eric Johnson, president and managing partner at Arnold Motor Supply. “Customers can expect the same great service with even more resources at their fingertips.”
      Arnold Motor Supply said the acquisition ensures a seamless transition, giving customers access to its extensive inventory, technical expertise and strong distribution network.
