1. BBT Truck Sales and Service is a
name synonymous with superior quality
and unparalleled service.
George Clemons opened the company
in south Florida in 1978. Back then,
its primary focus was on refurbishing,
buying and selling beverage delivery
trucks. To better serve customers and
meet the high volume of business, the
company opened a second office in
Leesburg in 1995.
Due to changes in the local
marketplace in recent years, the
company has changed its focus and
began transitioning into the future.
Today, BBT has become known for
its outstanding work in the truck
body and trailer service industry. The
company specializes in paint and body
work, accident repair, welding and
fabrication for medium- to heavy-duty
trucks and trailers.
However, the guiding principles
on which the company was founded
remains the same—legendary service,
strict attention to detail and superior
results. That’s because George’s sons,
Kevin Clemons and Gordon Kennedy,
are now co-owners of BBT. Their
unwavering commitment to the very
highest level of quality preserves
a proud past and ensures an even
brighter future.
“Being a family-owned company
provides stability,” says Gordon, who
began working at BBT in 1992 after
graduating from Western Michigan
University. “In addition, we go above
and beyond to uphold values one would
expect from a family-owned business
such as pride, commitment and honesty.”
That’s a big reason why BBT has done
work for Fortune 500 companies like
Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Budweiser and Miller.
BBT also receives business from local
municipalities such the City of Tavares,
the City of Leesburg and The Villages,
as well as local companies like Ro-Mac
Lumber and Supply.
“We’re a fleet and business-oriented
company,” Gordon says. “For instance,
the City of Tavares had us paint their
garbage trucks and the City of Leesburg
had us do work on their fleet of vehicles.”
The company has a highly trained,
experienced group of technicians who
can successfully handle the most difficult
jobs, whether it’s welding, painting or
body work. Many of them have been
employed at the company for more than
20 years, which is invaluable in helping
BBT provide customers with quality
work in a timely manner. In addition,
there’s a state-of-the-art 53-foot spray
booth that will accommodate virtually
any piece of equipment.
BBT is also the place to go for
municipalities and companies needing
a medium- or heavy-duty truck. That’s
because BBT has a dealer’s license and
sells dump trucks, flat beds, tractors and
delivery box trucks. The company can
also build a truck to a customer’s exact
specifications. “We built a flat bed for a
concrete company,” Gordon says. “We
built it from scratch so there would not
have to be any modifications down the
road. Nothing we do is cookie-cutter. All
our work is done to order.”
Customers will be delighted to know
that BBT is an authorized Omaha
Standard distributor. Omaha Standard
was established in 1926 and is a
leading manufacturer of service/utility
bodies, platform bodies, and other
equipment for commercial trucks.
With many years of total satisfaction
and proven reliability, it’s little wonder
why the company has earned an
outstanding reputation in the body and
trailer service industry.
