CALGARY, Alta. — Calgary Freightliner and Freightliner of Lethbridge has a new owner, effective June 1. The two entities have been purchased by Greg Stahl, who has renamed the dual franchise, under one title: New West Freightliner.

The new owner/president has been a part of the trucking industry for the majority of is life, including working in a family-owned Cummins Distributorship in Alberta from an early age, and continuing to work with Cummins in Columbus, Ind. through to 2002. He joined the Freightliner family in 2002 and worked with the company in Los Angeles, Portland and Morris Plains, N.J., a career that specialized in marketing, sales and service.

Stahl is looking forward to serving the many customers that he’s previously gotten to know personally and professionally, as well as new Freightliner customers, as he moves into this business.

“It is my goal and commitment to provide excellent sales, parts, and shop service in a winning team atmosphere,” he says.

“As you know, Doug and Carole Goodwin has been the Freightliner dealer in this trade area for many years. They have done a great job building a strong, customer-oriented business, and have constructed an excellent team at the dealership.”

Stahl views the Freightliner franchise in Southern Alberta as a tremendous opportunity for the Freightliner team.

“The Freightliner truck is in a class by itself and we feel very fortunate to be able to represent them in the Southern Alberta trade area.”
