Celebrating 20 Years
Monson Truck & Trailer 20-Year Open House
Walk through a real, successful heavy-duty repair operation. Lunch on us, shop tours, and a look at how Monson keeps trucks moving — show, don’t tell.
About the Event
Twenty Years of Keeping Trucks Moving
From a one-bay start to a full-service heavy-duty shop off I-280, Monson Truck & Trailer has grown the hard way — one repair, one recovery, and one relationship at a time. This open house is our thank-you to the fleets, owner-operators, vendors, and neighbors who’ve been part of that story.
Come see how the shop really runs: intake, parts, diagnostics, body work, and the service bays that keep the Quad Cities and Tri-State area moving. Grab lunch, take a tour, meet the crew, and celebrate two decades of speaking truck.
What to Expect
A Working Shop, Open for You
This isn’t a trade-show booth. It’s a day inside a real heavy-duty operation — with lunch, tours, and time to connect.
Lunch on Us
Arrive, grab lunch on site, and settle in with informal networking before the program kicks off.
Guided Shop Tours
Walk service workflow, intake, parts, diagnostics, and how jobs move through the shop — guided or at your own pace.
Meet the Crew
Connect with the technicians, advisors, and leadership who keep Monson running every day.
20 Years of Story
Hear from Buck Monson on how the shop started, what changed as it grew, and lessons from building a heavy-duty business.
From the Owner
You’re Invited
Twenty years building and growing a heavy-duty repair shop from the ground up has taught us one thing: this business is about people. Our customers, our crew, and the community that keeps us honest.
Come spend an afternoon with us. See the shop, ask questions, grab lunch, and help us mark the milestone the only way we know how — with the doors open.
