About Great Lakes Truck Centers
Serving the Trucking Industry Since 1999
Great Lakes Truck Centers is a family-owned and operated business with a proud history of serving the trucking industry across Ohio and Michigan. Our story began in November 1999 with the opening of Valley Sterling Trucks of Cleveland, becoming a leading provider of heavy-duty Sterling trucks in the region.
Evolution and Expansion
Over the years, we've grown and adapted to better serve our customers. In 2001, we added the Western Star franchise, followed by the prestigious Freightliner franchise in 2002.
