Solid business relationships are essential to the success of work truck dealer Nichols Fleet Equipment, located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. To make sure their customers can count on them, Nichols Fleet Equipment counts on Stellar. Their relationship with Stellar dates back more than 30 years since the company was founded by David Nichols, Sr. His two sons carry on the tradition of building trust through reliable products backed by exceptional service.

“We’ve always tried to be the company that does it the best,” says Operations Manager David Nichols, Jr. “We know that Stellar is modeled the same way, so we’re very comfortable working with Stellar. They do a great job supporting us and are always available to us.”

Trusted Service Truck Support

Customers come to Nichols Fleet Equipment for the complete array of custom service trucks, truck bodies and fleet equipment for construction, mining, aggregate, utilities, municipalities, agriculture, rental, monument, propane, heavy equipment and other markets. Those same customers keep coming back because of the after-sale support.

“It’s not just selling trucks,” notes Vice President Nick Nichols. “Where you maintain the relationship is through support after the sale, and having the support of the manufacturer behind you is really critical. We feel like we get great support from Stellar. That’s really, really important.”

Nichols, Jr. agrees. “Obviously the product quality is a huge deal to us, but the people you work with and the relationships you build with the people you partner with is just as critical. Stellar is quick to help anytime we need anything.”

In addition to TMAX™ Mechanic Trucks, Nichols Fleet Equipment also offers customers a selection of Stellar^® Lube Skids and Elliott Fuel & Lube Trucks, a Stellar brand.

Continued Partnership

Nichols Fleet Equipment is happy to build on its three-decades-long relationship as a Stellar dealer. “One thing Stellar does very well is continue to push the envelope,” adds Nick Nichols. “They continue to be a progressive-thinking company, always coming up with new ideas, and that’s exciting.” To find out how you can become a Stellar distributor, contact us.
