Fyda Freightliner is now open in Walton; first Kentucky location is full service truck dealership


Fyda Freightliner Western Star of Northern Kentucky is now open in Walton.

Sitting on 14 acres, the 46,000-square-foot, full service truck dealership is located at 11095 Dixie Highway, which is situated off of I-71/I-75 at Richwood exit 175.

“We opened (July 31st) and we couldn’t be more pleased. Our first customer actually walked through our doors last Friday and we had the part he needed in stock,” says Dan Ruhe, general manager. “We chose the Northern Kentucky area in order to better serve our current customers within their home bases, while expanding our services to a wider area where customers won’t have to deal with the delays associated with travelling to Cincinnati across the Ohio River. We are now the only full-service Class 8 truck dealership on I-75 in Northern Kentucky, and are pleased that we have been able to create 40-plus new jobs to date to support the local economy, with many more job opportunities on the horizon.”

Customers interested in these services can make appointments by calling (859) 379-7330. A Flywheel Turning Special is running for $65, or free with any clutch purchase. All opening specials are valid through December 2017.
