“Our Eagle Pass dealership will also offer a host of services to other Utility dealers and customers, including carrier installations, liftgates, decals and tracking devices,” Jonny Loring, president of Utility Trailer Sales Southeast Texas, said in a release.
Adjacent to the site is a 130-acre parcel under development for trailer parking and additional warehouse operations to support the nearby Mexican factory, according to City of Industry, Calif.-based Utility. The first phase of the parking facility is open for new trailer pickup.
“This strategic location is an ideal setting to store new trailers and get them ready for pickup,” Utility Vice President Steve Bennett said.
