IT ALL STARTED IN 1995

Since its inception in 1995, Cobalt Truck Equipment has undergone a remarkable transformation. What began as a modest venture with just 12 employees and a single location in Meridian, Idaho, has blossomed into a thriving enterprise with over 100 dedicated team members.

With the potential for growth, CTE made an investment in Cobalt Truck Equipment on North Eagle Road in Meridian, Idaho. In 2007, the company relocated to a new facility in Nampa, ID, which is now our headquarters. This facility was designed to increase retail sales through use of a show room, roadside reader board, and its location on a primary artery. It was also designed to accommodate the product lines, parts, and the necessary manufacturing capabilities required for growth.

In December 2001, a new opportunity opened in the form of Cobalt Truck Equipment- Spokane. Our Spokane facility is located in a 20,000-sq ft. facility. The assets were purchased from Critzer Equipment.

In April 2007, another opportunity opened in the form of Cobalt Truck Equipment Las Vegas. The assets were purchased from Nevada Truck Equipment Sales.

October 2014 brought the addition of our San Antonio, Texas branch. We opened our San Antonio branch in response to the tremendous growth of our sales in Texas and Oklahoma to better serve customer needs. January 2021, we opened a new, larger facility in San Antonio to support our growth.

The last facility to open was our Fort Worth branch in March, 2024.
