PACCAR Leasing Company continues to expand its franchise network in North America with the opening of 10 new franchise locations in the United States.


"We're pleased to see our location growth is in a variety of different places across the United States," said PacLease President Bob Southern. "PACCAR dealers find that full-service leasing through PacLease offers their customers an innovative way to solve transportation challenges.

"Private companies that operate trucks are finding it increasingly important to acquire new truck technology to help them reduce their fuel costs as well as their emissions," Southern said. "Full-service leasing can help them accomplish that goal by taking the spec'ing and maintenance guesswork out of the picture."
