Action Truck Parts

What Action Truck Parts does

Action Truck Parts is an independent heavy-duty truck and trailer parts distributor and service provider operating three retail/service locations across the Chicagoland area: Bolingbrook, IL (flagship, opened 2005 as ACME Truck Parts, with DPF cleaning), Rockdale, IL (acquired in 2016 from Darryl Dupre Truck Parts, with driveshaft cutting, balancing, and welding), and Chicago, IL (opened January 2019, with flywheel resurfacing and hydraulic hose repair). The company stocks over $2.5 million in parts inventory sourced from 150+ suppliers across brake, drivetrain, exhaust, filter, suspension, wheel-end, engine, electrical, lighting, and hydraulic categories, and also distributes complementary product lines such as US Tarp systems.

The company monetizes through counter-based parts sales, on-site repair and cleaning services (DPF cleaning, driveshaft repair, hydraulic hose fabrication, flywheel resurfacing, rotor cutting, spindle repair), and customer-engagement event revenue from an annual charity golf outing supporting Special Olympics Illinois. Go-to-market is sales-led, with a dedicated team including a Sales Manager, multiple Account Executives, and branch managers per location, targeting small-to-large fleets, independent repair shops, and municipal transportation departments. Industry positioning is reinforced by VIPAR Heavy Duty distributor membership (since 2013), CVSN membership, and the 2019 TPS Distributor of the Year award. Digital presence is limited to a company website and social channels (Facebook, X, Instagram), with the Action Texting Service launched March 2024 as the most recent customer-facing technology addition.

Broad incumbents

• FleetPride: FleetPride is the largest independent heavy-duty truck parts distributor in North America with 280+ locations. It is the dominant scale competitor to Action in the heavy-duty aftermarket parts distribution category and directly competes for fleet, shop, and municipal accounts across the Midwest.
• Genuine Parts Company (NAPA Heavy Duty): Genuine Parts Company operates the NAPA Heavy Duty truck parts distribution network in the US. It competes with Action across the same heavy-duty aftermarket categories (brakes, drivetrain, filtration, electrical) and brings national purchasing power and a more developed e-commerce platform.
• Rush Enterprises: Rush Enterprises is the largest network of commercial vehicle dealerships in North America, also operating Rush Truck Centers aftermarket parts and service. It competes with Action for fleet maintenance parts spend and offers integrated OEM service capabilities.

Direct peers

• Wheelco Truck & Trailer Parts: Wheelco is a Midwest-based heavy-duty truck and trailer parts distributor operating multiple branches. It is closely comparable to Action in scale, business model (parts + service), and customer base (fleets, shops, municipalities) across overlapping Midwestern geographies.
• VIPAR Heavy Duty: VIPAR Heavy Duty is the distributor network of which Action is a member. The platform itself aggregates nearly 70 independent heavy-duty aftermarket distributors, making it both a channel partner and a grouping of direct peers (other VIPAR member distributors in adjacent regions).
• Commercial Vehicle Solutions Network (CVSN): CVSN is the industry association of independent heavy-duty aftermarket parts and service distributors. Action is a CVSN member; the organization's membership of roughly 70 distributors operating 500+ locations represents a network of directly comparable peer distributors.

Others

• Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems: Bendix is a major manufacturer of commercial vehicle braking systems that partners with Action for Advanced Brake Clinics. It is a supplier and training partner rather than a competitor, and serves as an upstream counterparty whose product ecosystem Action depends on.
• ConMet: ConMet (Consolidated Metco) manufactures commercial vehicle wheel-end components including hubs. ConMet partners with Action for Wheel-End Fleet Nights and is a supplier rather than a direct competitor, but its commercial terms shape Action's product economics.
• Webb Wheel Products: Webb is a manufacturer of wheel-end equipment (brake drums, hubs, rotors, spoke wheels) and a co-training partner with Action on Air Disc Brake Training. Like Bendix and ConMet, Webb is a supplier whose products Action distributes.

Regional players
