Jim Hawk Truck Trailers Expands to Texas: “A Natural Next Step in Our Growth”
Jim Hawk Truck Trailers, one of the Midwest’s largest and most respected semi-truck trailer dealers, will open its first Texas location in Fort Worth on September 1. The move marks a significant milestone for the 53-year-old family-owned business as it continues its steady growth beyond its Midwest roots.
“Expanding into Texas is more than growth—it’s a continuation of the values our grandfather instilled in us,” said Jim Hawk III, President of Jim Hawk Truck Trailers. “We’re proud to bring the Jim Hawk name, service, and commitment to Fort Worth and beyond.”
The Fort Worth location is the first of five planned openings across Texas over the next five years.
“This is a natural next step in our growth,” said David Hawk, CEO of Hawk Investments, the parent company of Jim Hawk Truck Trailers. “Texas is an essential transportation hub, and we’re excited to serve customers there with the same service-first culture that’s defined us for more than five decades.”
