The dealerships also offer a full range of used trucks and service/parts/body shop departments to meet the needs of their customers.

Penske Automotive Group Chairman Roger S. Penske said, “We are pleased to expand our commercial truck dealership footprint into these new markets as we build scale within the highly-fragmented commercial truck dealership industry.”

The company estimates these dealerships will generate approximately $200 million in annualized revenue.
