Regarding the decision to sell his business and why he chose to partner with FleetPride, Stich said, “Wheelco has prided itself on being a customer driven company for over 62 years.

In fact, several of our stated values are identical – all centered around people, customers, and safety. With such a strong culture, this is a high-fit business which will make FleetPride stronger end to end.”

For FleetPride, this acquisition creates density in existing markets. It now has 18 locations in South Dakota and Minnesota, several of which are in and around the Twin Cities. By combining great talent, heavy duty expertise and unmatched inventory availability, the company is living up to its purpose – FleetPride Keeps the Country Running.

In addition, FleetPride is creating a new OE Solutions division by combining Wheelco Manufacturing Components with FleetPride’s OE trailer axle division.

“FleetPride aptly named their Giving Tuesday campaign Loads of Love which was exactly what they gave to St. Jude patients and their families this holiday season,” said Coury Shadyac, senior vice president of territories at ALSAC. “The commitment to raise funds through this campaign showed us the heart of FleetPride’s employees and customers. We are grateful for their dedication to our mission and for helping St. Jude continue with its lifesaving research and unparalleled patient care.”

St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Partnerships like this are fueling the $12.9 billion, six-year St. Jude strategic plan, which includes increasing its global investment to impact more of the 400,000 kids with cancer around the world each year.
