Dependable Auto Shippers Invests $7 Million in Fleet Expansion, Adds 24 Additional Trucks

(DALLAS) Oct. 8, 2013 – Dependable Auto Shippers (DAS), one of the largest privately-owned vehicle transport companies in the U.S. since 1954, today announced it has made a $7 million investment to expand and upgrade its truck fleet with the purchase of 24 additional trucks. The new trucks are part of an ongoing strategy to replace aged units and contemporize the fleet throughout the next two years, while continuing to grow the company’s reach and leadership within the auto transport industry.

“By adding these trucks, DAS is taking another step toward the modernization of our company-owned fleet,” said John Roehll, executive vice president and partner of DAS. “We pride ourselves on running a fleet with high-performance equipment and believe these new trucks will allow us to continue offering the highest level of customer service and transport capacity.” 

The 24 new units represent the first phase in a plan to replace all trucks in the company’s fleet. Unique within the privately-owned vehicle transport industry, DAS owns and maintains its own truck fleet including these new vehicle transports, which are combined units with power and trailer built together.

The increased efficiency brought by the new trucks combined with recent changes in environmental laws helps DAS decrease its environmental footprint. The new trucks will be assigned to DAS’ top drivers.
