Back in the day, Wilson Trailer’s downtown location on the hill used to overlook one of the busiest stockyards in the nation – It was a prime location for a trailer service center, especially livestock trailers. Today, with the stockyards long gone, the need to relocate the parts and service center to a location with better access was recognized and construction was finished in 2019 on a new addition to the Sioux City grain trailer manufacturing facility. The new location, on the company headquarters campus, has direct access off Interstate 29 and allows customers to drop off their trailers for service or pick up them up 24-hours a day. The new service and parts facility added a 16-bay, 27,000 sq. ft. service shop, which is home to the area’s only frame straightener. The new addition also added 22,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space to the grain trailer manufacturing facility and streamlined fabricated parts directly from production to the new service area.
