Parts For Trucks

What Parts For Trucks does

Parts for Trucks, Inc. is a privately held Canadian corporation headquartered in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, that operates as a B2B e-commerce platform and physical branch network distributing heavy-duty truck and trailer parts to commercial customers across Canada. The company carries a catalog of more than 100,000 SKUs organized across 20 product categories — including air system components, brakes, engine components, drive systems, equipment parts, exhaust, lighting and electrical, undercarriage/axles/suspensions, wheel end, and wheels/tire management — alongside higher-ticket equipment (dump bodies, cranes, plows, liftgates, flat decks). Its platform combines a self-serve e-commerce storefront with account-based features such as credit accounts, Quick Order bulk entry, order history, consolidated invoicing, and live cross-branch inventory visibility ("Shop by Store") enabling same-day pickup, curbside service, and multiple delivery options across a coast-to-coast network of 30+ branches. The company also offers adjacent services including DPF Cleaning, 24-Hour Roadside Service, Jaltest diagnostics, and a Training Academy, extending beyond pure parts distribution into service revenue and technician ecosystem development. Pricing is account-based and not publicly disclosed, requiring login and credit account setup for commercial buyers — a model typical of B2B fleet and repair-shop distribution. The company is independently owned (no parent, institutional investors, or venture capital backing identified), serves only Canadian customers with explicit restrictions on US and international orders, and supports over 60 languages on its website.

Direct peers

• FleetPride: FleetPride is the largest independent heavy-duty truck parts distributor in North America with 300+ locations across the US and Canada. It is the most direct comparable to Parts for Trucks in business model (parts distribution + service network for HD trucks), although it operates at materially greater scale.
• TruckPro: TruckPro is a US-based heavy-duty aftermarket parts distributor and service network with 150+ locations serving commercial trucking fleets and repair shops. Highly comparable to Parts for Trucks in target customer (fleets, repair shops), product breadth, and branch-based service model.

Broad incumbents

• NAPA Heavy Duty (Genuine Parts Company): NAPA Heavy Duty is the heavy-duty division of Genuine Parts Company, one of the largest automotive parts distributors globally. It competes directly with Parts for Trucks on fleet accounts and shop supply, but as part of a much broader parts distribution portfolio.
• Daimler Truck North America: Daimler Truck is an OEM of Freightliner and Western Star heavy-duty trucks. While primarily a vehicle manufacturer rather than a parts distributor, it competes indirectly through its own dealer/service network for OEM-spec parts and warranty work that Parts for Trucks also targets.

Others

• Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems: Bendix is a major OEM manufacturer of heavy-duty braking, safety and air system components sold through distributors like Parts for Trucks. It is an upstream supplier rather than a direct competitor, but its product line (air disc brakes, air dryers, brake valves) is core to Parts for Trucks' offering.
• Haldex: Haldex manufactures heavy-duty brake and air system components that are stocked and sold through distributors such as Parts for Trucks. As an upstream supplier, it shapes the product mix and pricing Parts for Trucks can offer its commercial customers.

Regional players

• TravelCenters of America: TravelCenters of America operates a network of truck service centers and travel plazas across the US, providing parts, service and roadside assistance to commercial trucking fleets. Comparable in service offering (24-hour roadside, diagnostics, parts) but primarily US-based and not a direct competitor in Canada.
• Premier Truck Group: Premier Truck Group is a commercial truck dealer network with parts, service and collision repair across multiple US states. Overlaps with Parts for Trucks on fleet parts and service, but is dealership-based rather than independent distribution and is primarily US-focused.
