    I'm looking at a new truck that they have on the lot. Anyone have any experience with or knowledge of this dealership? Just wondering, as I'm in CA. Thanks.

    they are the back up dealer location for a company I worked at.
    I think they may be part of or have some affiliation with the dealer in Des Moines.

    Plenty of experience with CB what would you like to know? I know most of the parts and service guys there good people sales is hit and miss they're like every other salesman devalue what you trade overvalue what they have. But overall they're good people.

    I bought a two-year-old Freightliner off a Truckpaper ad, but sight-unseen from them about 10 years ago. They were excellent to deal with; everything was as they said. They accommodated a third-party mechanical inspection and forwarded all the maintenance files (entire history) to me, took plenty of pictures, then I flew down, took the truck for a test-drive, did the deal and they arranged an in-transit permit to get me back to the border.

    I would deal with them again.

    With the exception of Volvo of Omaha whom I wouldn't take a truck from as a gift !, kW , Pete , Intl and freightliner there all have pretty good reputations... I used to deal with Pete on some parts and they were pricy like all Pete dealers but good people.... What fleet did the truck you are looking at come from ? There's a couple Omaha fleets that take horrible care of their trucks and dump em shortly before the Warranty runs out .

    They are a decent dealer, as was already said they are with the Pete dealer in Des Moines as well as Sioux City, Norfolk and are building a new one in Lincoln. I have bought parts and service from the Iowa locations, no complaints.
