Serving the Des Moines Metro and Central Iowa Trucking Community

Central Iowa's freight economy flows through the intersection of two major corridors, and our Altoona trailer repair shop sits right in the middle. Located directly off Interstate 80 on Adventureland Drive, minutes from where I-35 and I-80 converge, we serve regional logistics operations, cross-country freight lines and agricultural transport.

Whether you're running long-haul freight between Chicago and Omaha, moving construction materials along the I-80 corridor or hauling grain to processing facilities, our facility provides quick access without metro congestion. For fleet managers coordinating multistate routes, drivers can drop trailers for service without losing half a day to detours.

What sets this branch apart is our extended service window. Our technicians provide service and repair options Monday through Saturday. Your drivers keep rolling while we handle inspections, brake work and preventive maintenance. For operations running tight delivery windows, those extra hours translate directly into revenue protection.

We're more than just a Des Moines semi-trailer dealer with a parts counter. We're a full-service operation designed around how freight moves in the Midwest - fast, efficient and built to keep your equipment working.
