As your leading full-service truck and trailer dealership, we aim to consistently serve and inspire our customers every day by providing products and services with an exceptional customer experience.
David A. Thompson founded TEC Equipment in 1976. During those early days in Portland, Oregon, TEC Equipment was known as Thompson Equipment Company and its business was buying and selling used trucks and trailers.
Today, David is joined by his three sons, David O., Chris, and William. This proud, family-owned business is now one of the largest full-service truck and trailer dealerships in the United States. Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, TEC has over 30 locations, serving customers across Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota.
We feature Mack and Volvo heavy-duty trucks, Hino and Isuzu medium duty trucks, trailers from Wabash trailers, BWS, and MAC Trailer, and Cottrell, Kentucky, and Sun Country auto transport trailers. We also sell all makes of used trucks.
Our full-service offerings additionally feature quality parts, state-of-the-art service, collision centers, leasing and rental, financing, and insurance. TEC Equipment locations are authorized service centers for Mack, Volvo, Cummins, Meritor, Allison Transmission, Eaton and Fuller warranties.
At TEC Equipment, we have a strong history and focus on giving back to the community, with a primary focus on health and education. We support many charitable causes in the communities we serve, including:
Our commitment to you is for the long haul. We are determined to gain your loyalty by providing exceptional customer service.
It is a point of pride that so many of our customers have come back to us time and again since our modest beginnings.
