Crossroads Truck Equipment is a business on the rise.

The Illinois-based distributor has served the trucking industry for nearly five decades, growing from a single service location into a seven-store, multi-state operation offering parts, service and other industrial solutions. The company’s story shares a resemblance to many of its aftermarket peers.
