Project description: Logistics company Premier Truck Group is building a new truck sales and repair facility in Strafford, using precast contract, metal framing, thermoplastic polyolefin roofing and standing-seam metal in its construction. The business offers a selection of new and used trucks as well as financing assistance, according to its website, with a parts department offering original and after-market parts for brands like Freightliner, Detroit, Thomas Built Bus and Alliance. Company officials say the new facility will replace one currently operating at 3759 E. Evergreen St. in Springfield, while an existing location at 3020 E. Division St. will function as a predelivery inspection center for the dealership.
