SOUTH MADISON COUNTY — General Truck Sales is expanding its operations to the northern Indianapolis area with the opening of a new full-service commercial truck dealership at I-69 and State Road 13 (exit 214).

The 71,000-square-foot facility will allow the company to improve service to new and existing customers in the Indianapolis metro area and Central Indiana, according to a press release.

The company also announced the dealership is estimated to attract 40 to 50 jobs after it opens in July.

The 19-acre dealership site will sell new Volvo and Hino trucks and all makes of used trucks. It will feature an indoor sales showroom.

It also will provide full-service lease and rental options for commercial customers and feature a service facility for all brands with 30 service bays, an indoor service write-up area, an expansive parts inventory, and many driver and employee amenities.
