About Us

Vision: To make every commercial truck owner and operator in America unstoppable.

You don’t build a successful dealership over decades without learning a thing or two about what keeps customers moving. And it’s not just reliable service or dependable trucks. It’s being a partner for the long haul. Tandem Truck Centers is much more than a heavy and medium commercial truck dealership, with an award winning service and parts center located in Central Florida. We're a company rooted in a commitment to provide great service that delivers premium solutions for your company's commercial vehicle needs, whether it's a Freightliner truck, a Sprinter Van or a pre-owned semi truck. Our commitment to great service does not end with the purchase of your truck or van, it is only the beginning.

Our Elite Support Service Department keeps you on the road with our fully trained and certified technicians offering complete repair, maintenance, and body work on all types of your commercial equipment. Tandem Truck Center's Parts Department offers a complete inventory of the most common parts for all makes and models, so your down time is as limited as possible.

When you trust Tandem Truck Centers for your business, truck and van needs, you're getting a team that's been hired and trained to the highest standards, dedicated to adding real value to your fleet. Because making connections and earning your trust are just as important as the vehicles and services we offer. It’s how our customers know we have their best interests in mind. We look forward to being a part of your ongoing success and our promise to keep America moving forward.
