What Inland Group does

Inland Group is a privately held commercial truck and heavy equipment dealership network operating across western Canada and the southwestern United States through two divisions: Inland Truck & Equipment (Canada) and Inland Kenworth (US). The company is an exclusive Kenworth dealer carrying heavy-duty on-highway models (T680, T880, W900, W990), medium-duty (T180-T480, K270/K370), refuse (L770), and the extreme-duty vocational C580, alongside a growing zero-emission lineup (K270E/K370E, T680E, T280E/T380E/T480E) using PACCAR's integrated ePowertrain and Meritor/TransPower components. In Canada it additionally holds exclusive distribution rights for CASE Construction Equipment, Tigercat Forestry Equipment, and Link-Belt excavators and forestry machines across BC and Yukon. It supports 52 combined locations (34 in Canada across BC, Yukon, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba; 18 in the US across California, Arizona, and New Mexico) with parts, service, leasing, rental, fleet management, and financing.

The business generates revenue across eight streams: new and used truck sales, OEM/aftermarket parts, service and repair, commercial leasing, short-term rental, scheduled fleet services with telematics, and financing facilitated through PACCAR Financial and partner lenders. Its go-to-market is a traditional enterprise field sales motion executed through physical dealerships, augmented by an Online Parts Counter, parts request forms, email/newsletter marketing, content/SEO, and presence at industry trade shows (CONEXPO-CON/AGG, Mid-America Trucking Show). Pricing is quote-based and undisclosed publicly; new heavy-duty units typically range $100K-$200K+ while used units start around $30K.

The company is privately held through affiliated entities (Inland (US Investments) Inc., Inland Kenworth (US) Inc., Inland Lease & Rental Inc., Inland Finance Inc., and Inland Truck & Equipment Ltd.), was founded in the 1940s (firmographic records cite 1949), is headquartered in Burnaby, BC, and employs 251-500 people. The most significant recent strategic action was the April 2026 acquisition of Edmonton Kenworth, expanding Inland Truck & Equipment into the Alberta market.
