Velocity Truck Centers

What Velocity Truck Centers does

Velocity Truck Centers is a division of Velocity Vehicle Group (VVG) and operates one of the largest commercial-truck dealership networks in the United States, with 75+ full-service locations across seven states (California, Nevada, Arizona, Alabama, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee), 2,500 employees, 475 technicians, and 425 service bays. Its core offering is multi-OEM commercial vehicle retail—new trucks (Freightliner, Western Star, Ford, Autocar, Hino, Isuzu, Mitsubishi Fuso, Rizon, Kalmar Ottawa) and used trucks (SelecTrucks-branded)—paired with parts distribution, service and repair, 14 collision centers, and 14 trailer repair locations spanning the U.S. and Canada. Service operations are anchored by DTNA Elite Support certification, with an Express Assessment commitment to diagnose 90%+ of arriving trucks within two hours and an Express Repair workflow designed to minimize fleet downtime.

The revenue model is a blend of one-time equipment sales, transactional parts and service revenue, recurring rental and leasing income (Velocity Truck Rental & Leasing), and transaction-fee financing through captive lenders Crossroads Equipment Lease & Finance, VelocitySBA, and CA Fleet Solutions. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, with field sales representatives at each dealership, inside sales call centers, and dedicated fleet sales teams handling multi-location enterprise accounts. Electric-vehicle offerings (Freightliner eCascadia, eM2, Rizon) and 2025 partnerships with Greenlane and Terawatt position the network for fleet electrification, while recently launched Velocity Trailer Centers extends the model into trailer sales and service in the Southeast U.S. International reach includes affiliates in Australia and Mexico, plus Canadian trailer operations.

Strategically, Velocity Truck Centers differentiates on speed of service, parts availability (millions in inventory across West Coast warehouses with advanced sourcing via the Excelerator system), and OEM-certified service depth. Recognitions include the Daimler Truck North America Elite Support certification, the Ford Commercial Truck Dealer of the Year (2017, TransWest Truck Center Fontana), and multiple Elite Support Network awards (Summit Club, Elephant, WOW, Express Assessment, Change Management, Performance Workshop, Continuous Improvement Event of the Year). Pricing is quote-based across new trucks, parts, and labor, augmented by section 179 tax benefits and California HVIP incentives up to $130,000 per Rizon EV truck.

Direct peers

• Rush Enterprises: Rush Enterprises is the largest network of commercial truck and bus dealerships in North America, operating Rush Truck Centers across the U.S. with Freightliner, Peterbilt, International, and other OEM franchises, plus parts, service, body shop, and financing — directly comparable business mix to Velocity Truck Centers.
• Premier Truck Group: Premier Truck Group operates a multi-state network of new and used commercial truck dealerships with full parts, service, leasing, and rental offerings. It carries Freightliner, Western Star, and other major franchises and competes head-to-head with Velocity on Daimler-affiliated products.
• TEC Equipment: TEC Equipment is a Western U.S. Volvo and Mack truck dealer network with full-service parts, body shop, and leasing capabilities across multiple states. Overlapping geographic exposure (CA, OR, WA, AZ) and Volvo/Mack franchise profile make it a direct comp to Velocity's West Coast presence.
• SelecTrucks: SelecTrucks is Daimler Truck's branded used commercial truck retail network with franchised locations across the U.S. While Velocity Truck Centers operates several SelecTrucks locations as subsidiaries, the broader SelecTrucks network competes directly with Velocity's used truck business.
• TruckPro: TruckPro is one of the largest U.S. distributors of heavy-duty truck and trailer parts with a national footprint of parts stores and service centers. Highly comparable to Velocity's parts distribution and aftermarket service operations across the country.
• FleetPride: FleetPride is a major independent heavy-duty truck parts and service provider with over 300 locations across the U.S., focused on fleets with broad inventory and repair offerings — directly comparable to Velocity Truck Centers' parts distribution and service network.

Broad incumbents

• Velocity Vehicle Group: Velocity Vehicle Group is the parent conglomerate of Velocity Truck Centers and operates sibling brands TransWest Truck Center, BusWest, CrossRoads Equipment Lease & Finance, Velocity Truck Rental & Leasing, and Velocity Trailer Centers — relevant for corporate-level comparability even though VTC is a division rather than a separate entity.
• NFI Industries: NFI Industries operates one of the largest privately held trucking fleets in North America with in-house maintenance facilities. While primarily a fleet operator rather than a dealer, NFI is a meaningful customer/competitor in truck service and used truck remarketing adjacent to Velocity's customer base.

Emerging players

• WheelTime Network: WheelTime Network is a partnership of independent commercial truck service providers offering fleet maintenance across the U.S. Comparable to Velocity Truck Centers' Elite Support certified service business, particularly for fleet customers seeking standardized service quality.

Regional players

• Southeastern Freightliner: Southeastern Freightliner operates Freightliner dealerships in the Carolinas and Georgia with full sales, parts, and service capabilities. Shares Velocity's Southeast U.S. footprint overlap and Daimler/Freightliner franchise dependence.
