What Our Customers Say

Read our 86+ reviews on our Google My Business.

I highly recommend Andy and Wayne at First Fleet Truck Sales and want to thank them for building me a custom grapple truck that exceeded every expectation. We requested a very specific build on a black Peterbuilt chassis and Andy made it happen. Along the way we had numerous add-on requests and everything was built exactly as we asked. The guys at First Fleet built us our dream truck and it was even better than we imagined when we picked it up.
