🚛 What It Means for Truckers

More Service Options

If you operate in California, you now have access to W.W. Williams' nationwide network:

  • Engines: Detroit, DEUTZ, Isuzu, Mercedes-Benz
  • Transmissions: Allison (new and rebuilt)
  • Mobile fleet service
  • Power generation (APUs, auxiliary generators)

Importance of Rebuilt Transmissions

The ValleyBuilt™ line of rebuilt Allison transmissions is key for owner-operators seeking OEM quality without the new price.

A professionally rebuilt Allison can last as long as new if done right — and Valley Power (now W.W. Williams) has decades of experience doing it.

🔍 Why California

California is the largest trucking market in the U.S.:

  • Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach (40% of U.S. maritime trade)
  • Intensive agriculture (Central Valley)
  • Strict emissions regulations (require specialized equipment)
  • Massive heavy-duty truck fleet

Having a presence in California is strategic for any trucking service provider.

🛠️ The Truck Savers Recommendation

If you're in California and need engine, transmission, or power generation work, W.W. Williams is now a solid option with national backing.

But remember: Before touching the engine or transmission, always check suspension, alignment, and steering. Many problems that seem engine-related are actually from misaligned chassis or worn suspension.

At The Truck Savers™ we offer a free road simulator inspection that detects suspension, steering, and 100+ point issues. Schedule your appointment: (713) 455-5566.

💬 Bottom Line

W.W. Williams consolidates its California position with this smart acquisition. Valley Power Systems brings expertise, OEM relationships, and a solid customer base.

If you're a trucker in California, this means more professional service options with national backing.
