AUGUST 2, 2000, POMPANO BEACH, FL - Tri-County Truck & Equipment, one of South Florida's leading truck dealerships has made the plunge into Cyber space. Mike Silveri, president, said, "We are expanding our market beyond South Florida's tri-county area through the introduction of our new web site, tricountytruck.com." Continuing he said, "In the past, we have been very successful in serving the needs of local customers; now we hope to reach a broader market with our quality products and services."

The new web site provides a wealth of information to potential customers. For example, customers can get product information about Tri-County's four authorized truck dealerships. These include Mitsubishi Fuso, Hino, UD Trucks and Western Star. Classified Listings with Weekly Specials for used trucks are also included in the web site.

An on-line form allows a customer to obtain a quote on a package deal that can include financing for the purchase or lease of a new or used truck, a trade-in, a custom built body, and insurance. A Credit Application is also available on-line to speed the approval process.

Another on-line form allows customers to obtain price quotes for parts, including those for a wide range of domestic trucks. "Due to our strategic South Florida location and Internet presence, we expect to see healthy growth in exports to the Caribbean islands and Latin America," Silveri said.

Frequent updates, particularly in the area of used trucks, will keep the Tri-County Truck web site current. Silveri said, "We're optimistic that we can make tricountytruck.com the premier web site for all things related to commercial trucks."
