The Pete Store Truck Leasing, a leading provider of transportation solutions on the East Coast, has been honored with PacLease’s prestigious 2024 North American Peterbilt Franchise of the Year award. This significant achievement builds upon The Pete Store’s consistent excellence, having previously been recognized as Peterbilt’s Dealer of the Year four times (2004, 2016, 2018, and 2024).

PacLease highlighted The Pete Store’s strategic growth, which included the addition of two new locations within its 18-site East Coast network this past year. “The exceptional leadership has propelled this franchise to unprecedented levels,” stated Ken Roemer, President of PACCAR Leasing. “Their significant expansion within a crucial transportation region, driven by unwavering customer service and a commitment to delivering on their promises, has been instrumental in their success. We are thrilled to recognize them as our top-performing Peterbilt franchise for the first time.”

Alec Weiger, Vice President of PacLease for The Pete Store, commented, “This award truly reflects the dedication and commitment of every individual at The Pete Store. In the full-service lease business, downtime is simply not an option, and our technicians, service advisors, and service managers consistently exceed expectations to ensure seamless operations. Our Parts Team demonstrates remarkable ingenuity in sourcing even the most elusive components. Furthermore, our lease sales team has achieved significant growth, and we’ve seen enthusiastic engagement and support from the entire TPS sales organization. Of course, this success wouldn't be possible without the unwavering support of Jeff and Greg Arscott.”
