Fyda Freightliner Northern Kentucky, Inc. will be Fyda's first Kentucky dealership, slated to open early 2017.

Columbus, February 18, 2016: Fyda Freightliner, Inc. has purchased 14 acres of prime real estate to be the new home to yet another brand new full service Freightliner and Western Star truck dealership, Fyda Freightliner Northern Kentucky, Inc. Strategically located off I-71/75 and Dixie Highway US-25 off Richwood (Route 338) Exit 175 in Walton, Fyda Northern Kentucky will be the first dealership able to serve the needs of local and over-the-road truckers in the Florence/Boone County area. The new dealership will drastically cut down the commute for truckers, who currently must contend with heavy traffic and time delays as they travel across the Ohio River into Cincinnati for truck parts, service and sales.

"We are excited to be adding another location to the Fyda dealership network, which will ensure that our existing and future customers are able to find the all of the products and services they need in an area which currently lacks the benefits of a full-service dealership," said Dan Ruhe, general manager of Fyda's Cincinnati and future Walton dealerships. "Our new Kentucky facility will be a certified warranty repair center for all the major engine manufacturers, and we will have a chassis engine Dyno and Hunter computerized alignment rack to provide the best service possible."

Fyda Freightliner Northern Kentucky, Inc. will be a Freightliner and Western Star authorized dealer, carrying a large inventory of new and all-makes pre-owned heavy- and medium-duty commercial trucks.

"We are also planning to bring 40 to 60 new jobs to the area," said Dan. "We will be looking for talented people to work with us in sales, parts, service and administration to help grow Fyda Northern Kentucky."
