NORTHWEST EQUIPMENT SALES, INC.
Northwest Equipment Sales, Inc. started as a new trailer, used truck sales business by Jim Hibler in 1981. The business outgrew a succession of small but ever larger sales facilities in Boise during the 1980’s, and a sales and full service dealership was purchased in Twin Falls in 1988. When Mack Trucks, Inc. awarded the company the franchise for Eastern and Southern Idaho the following year the Twin Falls location became the face of the company.
In 1995, with growth in the Boise area, and with the success of the company, Jim built a new flagship facility in Boise, combining the Mack Truck and diverse trailer franchises into a large freeway facing dealership. Municipalities, fleets, and individuals all found equipment, parts, and service available for their “Heavy Truck” needs in the Boise area.
Eventually, Volvo Trucks North America also established Northwest Equipment Sales as its franchise dealer, and the area of responsibility Northwest Equipment Sales was given for its two heavy truck manufacturers was extended to all of Eastern Oregon along with the established areas in Idaho.
Along with the two truck franchises, Northwest Equipment Sales also represents Ranco Trailers (construction bottom dump and end dump trailers), Trail-Eze (implement and lowboy trailers), Circle R (side dump trailers), Tesco Williamsen (dump bodies and “pup” trailers), Reinke (aluminum flatbed trailers) and Polar (tank trailers). The company also represents Schwarze sweepers in Idaho as well.
Northwest Equipment Sales, Inc. has just opened its third dealership, this one in Hermiston, Oregon, serving Eastern Oregon and Southwest Washington and representing those companies shown above. In addition, Trail-Max Trailers, another Idaho company, has chosen us to represent them in that area.
With experienced and dedicated personnel, Northwest Equipment Sales, Inc. has become recognized by local customers and itinerant truckers alike as a place they can find equipment, parts, service, and friendly faces from the Columbia River to the Utah and Wyoming borders. An Idaho success story, from beginning to end……
