General Truck Sales leveraged Volvo’s new VNL, VNR and VHD model families in straight truck and tractor applications to penetrate new markets. The dealer has continued to invest in its facilities and service operations as a Volvo “Certified Uptime Dealer.” General Truck Sales has been in operation since 1958 and has a track record of success under Bassett’s leadership, having previously been named Volvo Trucks’ North American Dealer of the Year in 2006, 2010 and 2016.
