SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Pedigree Truck & Trailer Sales, the exclusive dealer for Prime Inc.’s used fleet of commercial trucks and trailers, will open a new $7.9 million, 11,887-square-foot flagship dealership in Springfield, Mo.
“Drivers and owner-operators are who we serve, and we built this dealership around their comfort, their time and a buying experience that reflects what they put into this work every day,” said Robert Low, founder, CEO, Prime Inc.
Located at 2705 E Diamond St., the new facility is scheduled to open in early October 2026 and will be the first purpose-built home in the company’s history.
Top Ranked Used Dealer
“Springfield-based Prime Inc. ranks as the #1 refrigerated carrier, #10 tanker, and #16 flatbed carrier in North America. Pedigree is the only dealer that sells Prime Inc.’s used commercial trucks and trailers, a relationship that has powered the company into one of the country’s largest used commercial vehicle dealerships with nearly 35,000 trucks and trailers sold and more than $1.7 billion in lifetime sales,” Prime Inc. said.
Pedigree Truck & Trailer Sales
“Pedigree’s equipment is widely regarded as a premium option in the used commercial vehicle market,” Prime Inc. said. “Every truck and trailer is fleet-maintained and one-owner, with low mileage, strong specs, manufacturer warranties often still in force and a comprehensive in-house reconditioning process designed to exceed the highest standards in the industry. Pedigree is also the only dealer in the country that can install brand-new Thermo King refrigeration units on used reefer trailers, giving customers near-new performance at substantial savings over the cost of a new refrigerated trailer.”
Pedigree operates four dealerships nationwide — its Springfield headquarters plus locations in Minooka, Illi., Pittston, Penn., and Salt Lake City, Utah — with new full dealerships also under construction in Atlanta, Ga. and a replacement building in Pittston. The new Springfield flagship replaces Pedigree’s current operations at 2700 N Packer Rd.
Key Features
“The 11,887-square-foot facility is built around how drivers actually shop and wait,” Prime said.
Features include:
- “The Show Off Lane” (a two-bay indoor showroom).
- Dedicated customer consultation areas.
- An in-house finance center.
- A modern driver’s lounge that includes the “Big Rig Theater” entertainment center, “ReGen Bay” charging stations, the “Driver Fuel Stop Refreshment Plaza,” complimentary driver showers and “The Gear Garage” merchandise area.
Outside, the property includes 107 truck and trailer display spaces, with hundreds more on the adjoining Prime Inc. property where incoming equipment is prepared for sale.
According to Low, the driver-centered design reflects the philosophy behind the project.
