Maximizing Uptime and Keeping You
On the Road Since 1965
What can Palmer Trucks do for you?
In 1965, Eldon Palmer, a home-grown Hoosier, started a heavy-duty truck dealership in Indianapolis. A gentle and humble yet determined man, Eldon had a knack for making everyone he met feel special and appreciated. Today, we span four states and employ more than 700 people, going the extra mile to support thousands of trucks moving our nationβs most precious goods to where they need to go - 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are Palmer Trucks, keeping people like you on the Road Since 1965.

π What a blast at the Fort Wayne Touch-A-Truck event! π
Our Fort Wayne team had an amazing time connecting with the community as kids climbed, explored, and got up close with some seriously cool trucks! There`s nothing quite like watching little ones light up when they get behind the wheel for the first time. π
And the fun didn`t stop there. We were also thrilled to debut our brand-new Palmer Trucks Coloring Books! π¨ Packed with truck-themed pages designed for the kids. Every young truck enthusiast went home with one to color their way through!
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth. We are so grateful to be part of such an amazing community. ππ
