Hoosier Trailer & Truck Equipment

What Hoosier Trailer & Truck Equipment does

Hoosier Trailer & Truck Equipment is a family-owned and operated full-service truck and trailer equipment provider headquartered at 4830 Todd Drive, Fort Wayne, Indiana, with a service radius covering Northeast Indiana, Northwest Ohio, and Southeast Michigan. The company consolidates trailer repair, tank service, body and paint work, driveline repair, welding and custom fabrication, parts distribution, equipment installation, and trailer parking into a single physical facility, enabling customers to complete entire job lifecycles without outsourcing. Differentiated capabilities include National Board 'R' Stamp certification (R-2606) for welding and full repair on dry bulk, petroleum, food grade, and vacuum tank trailers, FHWA tank inspection credentials, DOT-registered aluminum/stainless/carbon steel welding, DuPont-certified commercial refinishing with two paint booths (45' and 63') and color matching, and a dedicated tank bay for steam, blow-down, and clean-out operations.

The business operates a multi-stream revenue model spanning professional repair services, parts sales through an in-house counter (open 7:00am-8:00pm Monday-Friday) backed by aftermarket partners Aurora and New Life, new equipment installation (dump bodies, liftgates, flatbeds, service bodies, snow plows, cranes, and custom fabrications), paint services, and monthly recurring trailer parking at a drop-lot at SR 930 and Maplecrest Road. It also sells new trailers (Hyundai, Fontaine, Trinity) and used trailers across all makes via a non-dealership model listed on TruckPaper.com. Customers are primarily regional commercial trucking fleets and owner-operators served through direct in-shop service, mobile service, and parts counter sales. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The company is led by President Landon Sittler with a management team of seven department heads spanning general management, operations, service, parts, body shop, and trailer service functions. There is no disclosed institutional investment, no parent company, no app or API presence, and no AI/ML capabilities referenced in the source material. The competitive positioning rests on regulatory certifications, integrated in-house execution, and family-owned regional relationships rather than technology differentiation.
