The new Wisconsin Kenworth facility joins a Kenworth dealer network of nearly 320 locations in the United States and Canada. The full-service operation is located on just over 4 1/2 acres at 3090 Berlin Dr., near the intersection of Highway 16 and U.S. Interstate 90, off Exit 5 on I-90.

The dealership features 12 service bays, with one bay dedicated to providing Kenworth PremierCareĀ® preventive maintenance services, and a 5,100 square-foot parts department to provide excellent parts availability. The new location also offers parts delivery service and a comfortable drivers' lounge.

"Our new dealership location in La Crosse offers fleet and truck operators more coverage along the east-west I-90 and I-94 corridor," said Dan Gebben, regional vice president of CSM Companies.
