The location is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
“We can provide a higher level of service to several transport companies and to contractors, pick-up and delivery couriers and food haulers,” said Kari Rihm, president of CEO of Rihm Kenworth. “And since our location is so close to I-94, it will be easy for east and westbound truck drivers to find.”
