Jim Loughery is general manager of the Mokena dealership.
"CIT Kenworth Chicago has been a Kenworth dealer in the Chicagoland area since 2004 with dealership locations in Joliet and Bensenville. We're pleased to be able to offer customers an additional facility which builds on our existing dealership network in the metro area." said Carl Herzog, CIT Kenworth vice president.
Herzog, a recently named member of the 2013 Kenworth Dealer Council, added, "At our Mokena location, we're much more accessible to one of the most heavily traveled truck freight corridors in the United States, and to major regional crossroads, including Interstates 80, 355, 294, 57 and 94. We'll have the space to display a wide selection of new Kenworth trucks, including the Kenworth T680 and the Kenworth T440 for medium duty truck customers.
"The south central Chicago suburbs have seen a tremendous amount of growth in economic activity in the last several years," Herzog said. "In Will County alone, the population has grown by 175,000 people, or 35 percent. With that population growth and new economic activity has come a need for an easily accessible dealership to provide truck fleets and operators quality Kenworth products and parts and service support."
