Wabash, a leader in end-to-end supply chain solutions for the transportation, logistics, and infrastructure markets, announced an expanded partnership with Excel Trailer Group’s Trailer Division. Building on a 30-year partnership, Excel is expanding its Wabash service and support footprint from Virginia into North and South Carolina.
Excel Trailer Group is a full-service solution provider that specializes in truck and trailer sales, service, and support across commercial and municipal transportation, construction, logging, logistics, and more.
Wabash said this expanded partnership supports its strategy to improve customer access to trailers, parts and services across the United States. Strengthening its dealer network in the Southeast, the move enhances Wabash’s ability to serve both local and national fleets. It also reinforces Wabash’s alignment with dealers known for exceptional customer service, solutions-driven support and scalable infrastructure.
Excel Truck Group is a full-service dealership network, offering end-to-end solutions including new and used truck and trailer sales, a large inventory of genuine parts (including Wabash trailer parts), on-site and mobile trailer/truck service, preventive maintenance, collision repair, electrical work, and specialty engineering support.
The company operates 12 locations across Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. This includes established trailer service hubs in Roanoke, Chester, and Weyers Cave, Virginia, as well as a new state-of-the-art truck and trailer dealership in Rock Hill, South Carolina, which opened in late 2024.
“Excel Trailer has been a trusted partner to Wabash for decades, and we’re excited to strengthen that relationship as we expand our network together into North and South Carolina,” said Drew Schwartzhoff, chief commercial officer at Wabash. “Our expert Wabash dealers are the backbone of our sales and aftermarket services, delivering the reliable support customers depend on to reduce downtime and keep operations running smoothly.”
As a Wabash dealer, Excel Trailer will provide sales and service support for Wabash’s complete truck body and trailer portfolio. Customers across North and South Carolina will gain access to Wabash trailers, genuine parts, service support, and eventually mobile trailer service offerings.
“We are proud of the strong, trusted relationship we’ve built with Wabash,” said Russ Ellett, President of Excel Trailer. “They recognize the high level of support we provide customers, and we value their continued partnership. Expanding our trailer offerings and services across North and South Carolina is an exciting step in helping grow Wabash’s presence in the Southeast.”
The Wabash–Excel Trailer partnership strengthens both companies’ growth by expanding product access and strengthening regional service capabilities. It also underscores Wabash’s commitment to a connected dealer network that simplifies fleet operations and delivers lasting value to customers.
