The acquisition adds three Mack locations to the Nextran footprint, bringing Nextran’s Mack facilities total to 20.
“We’d like to congratulate Nextran Truck Centers on their acquisition of Westfall-O’Dell and thank Westfall-O’Dell for their continued support since 1951,” said Jonathan Randall, Mack Trucks senior vice president of North American sales and commercial operations. “Both dealerships have been strongly committed to the Mack brand, evidenced by their focus on providing service and support to improve a customer’s total cost of ownership.
