San Leandro, CA — Peterson Trucks, a division of Peterson Holding
Co., has moved its used trucks facility to 2595 Alvarado Street in San
Leandro. The San Leandro lot has been the base of operations for
Peterson Idealease, the rental and lease arm of Peterson Trucks, for
several months. This facility replaces Peterson’s former location off of
Highway 880 in Oakland
Steve Sundberg, General Sales Manager for Peterson Trucks, commented on
the reasons for the move: “We want to give our customers the opportunity
to take full advantage of our range of services. Now, fleet managers
can come to a single location, view our used truck inventory as well as
our rental and lease vehicles, and make the decision that best fits
their business strategy. And the new lot is right around the corner from
our International truck dealership, and parts and service center.”
Additionally, Peterson Trucks’ new facility is next door to Peterson
Cat’s earthmoving sales and service facility, and is only a few blocks
from Peterson Power Systems, which offers generator sales, rentals, and
service. “We’re a one-stop shop,” Sundberg explained. “We have virtually
any piece of equipment our customers might need, the technicians to fix
it, and the parts to maintain it. And on top of that, we have purchase,
rental, and lease options to fit a range of business plans.”
Peterson Trucks’ Executive VP and GM, Larry MacDonald elaborated on the
advantages of moving Peterson’s Used Truck Center: “We’re now in a
position to offer used trucks from our own lease and rental fleet. This
means our technicians have been maintaining the vehicles since we
acquired them, and it’s in our best interest to keep them in pristine
condition. In short, we can assure that our used truck customers are
getting a quality product.”
