Your truck works hard, so the service body you put on it matters more than most people think. Pick the wrong material and you may end up hauling unnecessary weight, fighting rust every winter, or dealing with dents and damage that sideline your truck.
Drake-Scruggs Equipment now offers Thunder Creek fuel, lube trailers, truck upfits, skids for utility, municipal, commercial clients in IL and MO. The partnership provides efficient solutions for solving problems and offering tangible ROI.
If you’ve priced a new truck chassis lately, you’ve likely noticed the numbers trending higher — and lead times stretching longer. The reason isn’t just market demand. Recent and proposed tariffs on imported materials and components are having a direct impact on chassis pricing and availability across the industry.
At Drake Scruggs Equipment, we’re taking our custom truck builds to the next level with our cutting-edge Computer-Aided Design (CAD) program! This new process enhances how we design and position essential accessories, equipment, and safety features — ensuring every inch of your truck is optimized for efficiency, safety, and functionality.
We are thrilled to announce Lucas Shelton as the new Chief Operating Officer at Drake-Scruggs Equipment where he will be overseeing our Production, Service, Sales, and Parts departments.
Our history began in 1946 with Robert B. Drake and his father-in-law, William Scruggs. Read the history of our local family-owned business.
