About Fleetserve Truck Sales
Founded in 2001 by Rick Tanton and Bob Mitchell, Fleetserve Truck Sales was built on over 50 years of combined experience in the Commercial Fleet leasing and sales industry. Our founders understood that a truck isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a tool for your business.
In 2014, Rick’s son, Bradley Tanton, joined the team after earning his degree in Entrepreneurship from UTSA. Having spent his college summers detailing trucks and managing our digital presence, Bradley brought a modern perspective to our deep industry roots. He stepped into the role of General Manager in 2017, ensuring that Fleetserve remains a locally owned, family-run business dedicated to customer success.
About our Inventory
We specialize in quality used commercial trucks and vans, including:
-
Pickups & Cargo Vans
-
Utility/Service & Flatbed Trucks
-
Box Trucks, Dump Trucks, & Cutaway Vans
The majority of our inventory is sourced directly from major leasing companies and large fleets. These are typically late-model, well-maintained vehicles that offer the best value for our customers. We prioritize stocking the most proven and reliable drivetrains in every vehicle class we sell, ensuring you get a truck that makes your business money—rather than costing you money in the shop.
More Than Just a Sale
Choosing the right vehicle for your business isn’t always straightforward. From gas versus diesel to buying versus leasing, there are a lot of factors to consider, and the right answer depends on your specific operation.
Our team is here to provide honest, experience-backed guidance to help you make an informed decision. We take the time to understand your business, your budget, and how the vehicle will be used so we can help you find the right fit.
At the end of the day, our goal is simple: to help you find the right vehicle for the job—even if that vehicle isn’t on our lot.
Inspected and Ready for Work
We know your vehicle isn’t just transportation—it’s a tool that needs to earn its keep every day. That’s why every vehicle we sell goes through a thorough inspection and road test before it’s listed on our website.
We work with a trusted network of local mechanics and specialty repair shops to evaluate each vehicle’s major mechanical systems and address issues that could affect reliability, safety, or performance. Our focus is on making sure the vehicles we sell are mechanically sound, reliable, and ready to be put to work.
No used vehicle is perfect, but we believe in being upfront about condition and investing the time and effort to deliver quality commercial vehicles our customers can depend on. Whether you’re adding a single work truck or growing an entire fleet, our goal is to help keep your business moving.
