Beware of stoops Freightliner in Indianapolis

what a nice weather outside ...

 

That would be CIT Kenworth,I deal with the one in Peru IL, and there parts dept is absolutely worthless.

 

the whole CIT chain. Volvo included..

 

Doubt anything will change, maybe they'll even get worse, but Stoops was bought out by Truck Country a few years back.

 

Have dealt with Truck Country for 30 years. When they bought Stoops i asked if they were going to change the way they operate. Was told they were operating separate.

 

that's the problem..they're a part of their family but they operate separately they don't operate under truck country rules they still operate under the same crooked stoops family...
truck country might be slow but they do quality work..
that they've been slow for years going back to the late 90s is a far as I remember when I was driving FLDs around.
because unlike McCoy Freightliner up there in Dubuque Iowa they are now truck country truck country just like Freightliner of Des Moines is truck country truck country...
where is stoops is not displaying the truck country banner but operating separately still..

 

geez...like this ain't the first time i ever heard of that place, and they are STILL in business..???

 

if i recall, and some other OLDER drivers might as well, there was a Stoops trucking company..

what i cannot recall if there was any sort of connection between the 2 businesses.

found it...the same owner, check the pics on both sites

Big-rig seller Stoops to unload six-location dealership - Indianapolis Business Journal

 

it was part of the stoops family before they built a franchise it was always stoops out of Indianapolis they had a Freightliner dealer and they were also a part of what was known as BMC Burlington motor carriers..
Burlington motor carriers were made up of four divisions it was stoops out of Indianapolis there was wtm the Wingate Taylor made out of Albany Georgia you also had Monroe out of Monroe Louisiana and I believe there was something else but I can't remember..maybe it was Monmouth Illinois or I might be thinking munson Trucking 30 plus years kind of takes its toll on the brain..but anywho what happened was they were all merged together the for Burlington motor carriers and they went basically belly up..
but just like Quincy Mack is owned by mr. Jack Sharkey who also is the founder of STL Sharkey Truck lines those ugly green and yellow things out of Quincy and his other two companies that go along for the ride sisborro and core...
it was only not until around chest after the turn of the century when stoops begin buying up other freightliner dealers such as Lima Ohio and up there on 69 this and Anderson or something like that that's now a stoops what they were all independent but yes stoops is owned by truck country but they let them operate under their own name still for some odd reason....
and stoops Express Burlington motor carriers same exact ones that have on the Freightliner dealer in Indy forever
