Overview
TransChicago Truck Group sells commercial trucks and supports fleet operators with parts, repairs and vehicle financing. Its dealerships carry Freightliner, Western Star and Isuzu trucks alongside used vehicles from other manufacturers and Transcraft and Benson trailers. Customers buy vehicles outright or use its leasing and rental business, while its service teams handle workshop repairs and scheduled mobile maintenance; parts sales and deliveries support trucks already on the road. The business earns money from truck and trailer sales, parts, service and lease or rental contracts. With roots in the 1980s, it adopted the TransChicago name in 2002 and is headquartered in Elmhurst, Illinois.
