In early 2020, May’s Fleet Sales and Service was acquired by Syracuse Truck and Equipment when the founder, Gary May, decided to retire to spend more time with his family.

Syracuse Truck’s roots go back more than twenty years and began in the heavy construction equipment industry. As the service demands for medium and heavy duty trucks grew, construction equipment became less and less a part of the business.

That continued growth in demand lead Syracuse Truck to look for a new location to accommodate the growing service business.

May’s was a natural fit. With similar philosophies of providing great customer service and a friendly, helpful atmosphere, a new chapter began.

Syracuse Truck continues to operate under the May’s Fleet Sales and Service name with the same great staff and serving the same great customers.
