Lyons Truck Sales

What Lyons Truck Sales does

Lyons Truck Sales is a family-owned used commercial truck and trailer dealership founded in 2005 and headquartered in Burr Ridge, Illinois. The company specializes in reselling pre-owned Class 8 sleeper tractors — primarily Freightliner Cascadia and Coronado models — alongside trailers from Reitnouer, Utility, and Wabash. As of the most recent inventory snapshot, 19 trucks are listed between $37,900 and $149,500, and the business operates from a state-of-the-art single-location facility branded as a one-stop truck center.

The revenue model combines one-time sales of used trucks and trailers with several ancillary revenue streams: in-house financing referrals through a partnership with Star Financial Services LLC, extended warranty products bundled via Premium 2000, and a recurring-revenue trailer leasing program called Dylan's Lease. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, leveraging the company website, TruckPaper.com listings, a Facebook presence, and word-of-mouth within the Midwest US trucking community. Customers are primarily regional trucking companies and independent owner-operators.

A related entity, US Cargo Direct, operates a fleet of more than 100 Freightliner Cascadia Evolution units, suggesting vertical extension into fleet operations and driver recruitment adjacent to the dealership. Day-to-day operations are led by a small management team including a Sales Manager, Finance Manager, Internet Sales and Marketing Director, and the Dylan's Lease lead, indicating a thin organizational structure typical of an independent family-owned dealer.
