FleetPride, Inc. has acquired the assets of TransAm Truck and Trailer Parts of Rockford, Illinois.

The company was founded by Frank Carlson in 1989, who has owned and operated the business ever since. Rockford is a new market for FleetPride, and the acquisition of TransAm will give the company a total of 11 locations in Illinois.

“Frank Carlson and his team are going to be a great addition as we welcome them into the FleetPride family,” said Mike Harris, FleetPride senior vice president sales and branch operations. “Customers in the Rockford market rely on TransAm for heavy-duty expertise and availability. We want to enhance this experience with additional inventory, expanded product lines, and increased replenishment from our nearby regional distribution center in Elgin.”
