Peterbilt Motors Company announced the delivery of the first production New Medium Duty Model 536 to Elder Logistics.
A family owned and operated business, Elder Logistics possesses a deep understanding of local culture and values. Elder Logistics’ core values guide the company’s drivers—safety as well as reliability, attitude, and productivity. These values help ensure customers get the highest level of service on every delivery. Adhering to those key values has helped Elder Logistics grow its business 400% over the last decade. And because it has grown, so have its transportation needs.
Scott Elder, president of Elder Logistics, says medium-duty trucks make up the bread and butter of the business. After seeing the launch of the lineup, Elder says he knew they would add the Model 536 to the fleet.
“The many advancements Peterbilt has made to these new trucks play perfectly into our company values,” Elder says. “Our drivers are looking forward to putting the truck to work.”
Additionally, the new Model 536 embodies Peterbilt’s vision of a modern medium-duty truck purposefully designed for Class 6 applications. The 2.1-m wide cab is quiet and also provides a comfortable work environment for up to three people. Configured with a PACCAR PX-7 engine, Elder Logistics’ Model 536 features the new PACCAR TX-8 transmission. The TX-8, an 8-speed automatic, offers smooth shifting as well as maximum fuel efficiency and minimal maintenance.
“We are excited to hand over the first set of keys for the New Model 536 to Elder Logistics,” says Robert Woodall, Peterbilt assistant general manager sales and marketing. “They spec’d the perfect configuration for their needs. The new features and technology designed into our lineup of new medium-duty trucks will enhance the day-to-day job of their excellent drivers, and we are excited to hear their feedback.”
