Wheeling Truck Center Celebrates 75 Years in Business
Wheeling Truck Center | 19 Jul 2008
It all started back in 1933. C.H. Remp, the manager of the White Motor Company branch in Pittsburgh PA was offered a dealership in a new territory of the up and coming city of Wheeling, WV. Mr. Remp first started out on 17th street in Wheeling. The family lived above the garage and worked hard on increasing sales until the “Wheeling White Truck Company, Inc.” needed to expand. The company moved into its second location on Main Street in Wheeling. “Wheeling White” through the years has been a dealer for: White, Autocar, Freightliner, Western Star, and Diamond Reo, all of which were manufactured by the White Motor Company of Cleveland Ohio. In 1969 the company moved into its current location at 23rd and Market St.. In 1981 Volvo purchased the assets of the White Motor Company. In 1987 Volvo merged with GMC’s heavy truck business and Wheeling Truck Center added the GMC medium truck lineup. After adding the GMC line, the dealership’s name was changed to “Wheeling Truck Center, Inc.” In 1996 Lobster Truck Leasing & Rental, Inc. was created to service customers who need truck and trailer leasing and rental, and contract maintenance programs.
In 75 years Wheeling Truck Center has seen a variety of truck models come and go, industries come and go, and they have been continually upgrading through the years to better serve our customers. Wheeling Truck Center is proud to offer many of the latest products including an e-commerce site for truck accessories www.VTChrome.com and most recently Karmak’s “Client Talk” software.
