We’re proud to partner with this dedicated dealership and excited to award them top dealer recognition for a 12th year.”

Talbert also named Texas-based Alamo City Trailer Sales the most improved dealer of 2019 and one of the top 10 dealers overall.
“We’d like to acknowledge the dedicated team at Alamo City Trailer Sales for their hard work in 2019,” Geisler says. “In an industry where communication is key to finding the right trailer for the application, owner Ed Just and his crew excel at listening to each customer’s unique needs and relaying that information to Talbert so we can ensure a trailer that’s up to all aspects of the job at hand.”
