In 1998, President and Chief Executive Officer Gary Kale and Executive Vice President Carl Hubbard opened Heritage Truck Centers with less than 15 employees. It was then that Kale and Hubbard began a journey to raise the standard of Truck Service in southern West Virginia. In addition to providing Truck Service, they both envisioned the need for Off-Road Coal Transportation in the coal fields and predicted that this need would only increase in the years to come.

Ten years later, Heritage Truck Centers has expanded to over 200 employees and millions of dollars in parts inventory. Services are now provided in six locations throughout West Virginia and Kentucky, as well as a Featherlite Trailer Dealership in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Heritage Truck Centers provides Complete Truck Service, New and Used Parts for all Truck makes, as well as new and used class 4-8 Truck Sales for the Western Star and International brands

Heritage Truck Centers, under the direction of Gary Kale and Carl Hubbard, was instrumental in the design and marketing of the “Planetary-Drive” coal hauler, along with Western Star and ALFAB, for the West Virginia and Kentucky Coal Fields. The "Planetary", as it is known in the Coal Fields, is the Western Star 6900 XD. This particular Western Star Truck is a specialized, Extreme Duty Truck designed specifically to transport Coal in Severe Service, Off-Highway applications.

Gary and Carl, who have extensive backgrounds in Coal and Transportation, have established a strong presence for Heritage Truck Centers and Western Star Trucks throughout the mining industry. Their unrelenting focus on Service and profound passion for Trucks, in concert with an ongoing commitment to Coal, has earned Heritage Truck Centers the prominence of having the “Best Product Support Team” in the business.
