Navistar Completes Order to Supply Quality Cos. With 9,000 Trucks

Truck maker Navistar Inc. has finalized an agreement to supply Quality Cos. with 9,000 Class 8 tractors during the next three years.

Quality Cos., a provider of truck- and trailer-leasing services, is a subsidiary of truckload carrier Celadon Inc.

Navistar said the order consists primarily of International ProStar and LoneStar Class 8 tractors powered by the Cummins ISX15 engine.

The manufacturer announced last week that it had received an order for the first 1,050 of the 9,000 trucks requested by the leasing company.

“We look forward to serving the business needs of Quality Cos. and appreciate the confidence they have placed in our products, our people and our business,” said Bill Kozek, president of Navistar’s truck and parts business.

“This order demonstrates our commitment to growth and positions us to support our customers for the next several years,” said Danny Williams, chief operating officer at Quality Cos.

Indianapolis-based Celadon ranks No. 42 on the Transport Topics Top 100 list of the largest for-hire carriers in the United States and Canada.
