“Allstate Peterbilt – South Saint Paul nearly doubled its medium-duty truck sales last year and achieved an impressive level of market share,” said Darrin Siver, Peterbilt general manager and PACCAR vice president. “This dealership helped bring Peterbilt’s award-winning medium-duty models to customers throughout a wide range of markets and applications, as well as providing comprehensive support solutions to these customers.”
