To commemorate the milestone, the company has produced a one-hour documentary film detailing the history of Peach State Truck Centers and its growth into one of the largest commercial vehicle dealership groups in the country. Tom Reynolds started Peach State Ford, a standalone dealership with a handful of employees and a small inventory of Ford Commercial trucks in Norcross, Georgia in 1974. As the city of Atlanta experienced major growth over the years, so did Peach State Truck Centers. In 2007, the company acquired Atlanta Freightliner, which expanded the business with additional locations and several new brand offerings.
Today Peach State is operated by Tom’s son Rick, and the company has over 700 employees, 13 locations in Georgia and Alabama with one under construction, and still carries Ford products along with major on-highway, vocational, pupil and emergency transportation brands like Freightliner, Western Star, Thomas Built Buses, SelecTrucks and Spartan. Peach State is also dedicated to its charitable foundation that supports the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University in Atlanta. The company remains an active supporter contributing to several initiatives including the annual Winship 5K, which is also in Atlanta.
Peach State continues to thrive through the execution of customer experience strategies, technology investments, and an intense focus on individual employee satisfaction through talent development, rewards and recognition programs and engagement initiatives. These strategies and investments, along with Peach State’s commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others, has positioned them to continue to thrive for the next 50 years.
Peach State Truck Centers’ 50th anniversary is a year of gratitude for all the company’s loyal employees and customers. View Peach State Truck Centers’ 50th Anniversary Documentary here.
