Bennett’s Celebrates Expansion with Ribbon Cutting
Surrounded by his team, Steven Bennett cuts the ribbon at the ceremony to mark the opening of Bennett’s Truck and Trailers’ new location.

A local business celebrated the latest chapter in their saga with a special ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, Jan. 10. Bennett’s Truck & Trailer, which specializes in repairing semis, held the event to mark their grand reopening in their new location, a five-bay drive-through shop. Cyndi Bennett, wife of owner Steven Bennett, said the new location was just the latest part in the evolution of their business. “My husband… has been in the semi-truck and trailer repair business for over 15 years,” she said. “In June of 2021, we decided to open our own business; hence Bennett’s Truck & Trailer LLC was born. We started out offering mobile repair, and then in October 2021, found a shop in Carthage.” Cyndi said the business was so successful, they needed to expand rather quickly. “We outgrew our three-bay shop in a matter of months,” she said, “so with the help of our landlord we were able to expand to a new five-bay drive through shop (with) double the room than before, which we just moved into (this month).” With the extra space, Bennett’s will not only be able to offer more services, but they were also able to hire more personnel. “The extra room allowed us to not only expand our services, but our team as well.” Cyndi said. “Steven is the shop manager/head technician while I handle all the HR related roles. We have built a great team of guys, which consists of three diesel technicians, three trailer technicians, a service writer/parts manager, and last but not least, a parts runner. A positive work environment is so important for us, we treat our team to lunches on Friday to show our appreciation, because without our crew, we wouldn’t have come this far in such a short time.” Julie Reams, president of the Carthage Chamber of Commerce, praised Bennett’s expansion. “The Carthage Chamber is always happy to celebrate our businesses in town,” she said, “and to celebrate the expansion to Bennett’s Truck and Trailers new building is amazing. Their investment to our community and the service they provide is a huge asset to Carthage.” As far as Bennett’s, Cyndi said they expect even bigger and better things in the future. “The first couple of years have been a blessing for our company,” she said, “and we’re excited to see what 2023 has in store for us. (We) hope to be around for many years to come.” Bennett’s Truck and Trailer is located at 325 Highway 96, #C in Carthage. For more information, call (417)680-4920.
