RICHFIELD, Wis. — Truck Country has officially opened its doors in Richfield, giving local trucking businesses a new dealership, parts shop, and repair center for semis, dump trucks, and fire engines.
Local drivers said the facility fills a critical gap — getting trucks back on the road fast.

Tony Tamborino, who owns ART Tamborino, a Slinger-based trucking company, said quick turnaround is everything in his line of work.
"They get to the bottom of it," he said. "And keep me trucking!"
Tamborino said other shops have left him waiting too long or can't get him in as quickly, or they're located too far away from Slinger.
"Oh we're scheduling for next Tuesday," he said. "It's like I'm broken down for this Tuesday! I need it to go in the morning!"
Kassie Hamilton, senior field recruiter for Truck Country, said keeping customers moving is the company's top priority.
"If our customers are down, they're not moving anything," she said. "We've got to make sure we can service them back to get them moving again."
Hamilton said Richfield was chosen for its easy highway access and the appeal of Washington County as a place to grow.
"We know we're going to grow in this community," she said. "We need community members to help us do that."
Company President Douglas McCoy cut the ceremonial ribbon and reflected on what the opening means to him personally.
"Personally, it's gratifying because it's where I started," McCoy said. "It's where I started selling trucks, and today I'm just looking forward to seeing a lot of customers in the area, shaking hands and seeing them knowing 30 years of hard working paid off."
Truck Country plans to build additional facilities in southeastern Wisconsin.
