- Custom Truck One Source, Inc. provides specialty truck and heavy equipment solutions primarily to the electric utility transmission and distribution, telecommunications, rail, forestry, and infrastructure markets across North America. The company’s core offerings include the sale, rental, and servicing of specialized equipment such as aerial devices, boom trucks, cranes, digger derricks, pressure drills, stringing gear, hi-rail equipment, and related aftermarket parts and tools. It operates through three main business segments: Equipment Rental Solutions (ERS), Truck and Equipment Sales (TES), and Aftermarket Parts and Services (APS), serving major utility, telecom, rail, and construction customers with a comprehensive "one-stop-shop" model. Custom Truck One Source also offers equipment customization, remanufacturing, financing solutions, and asset disposal services.
Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, the company operates a broad network with over 39 locations across the United States and Canada, supporting more than 10,300 units in its coast-to-coast rental fleet. Its customer base includes large utilities, telecoms, railroads, forestry services, and construction firms. The company maintains a strong commitment to innovation and customer-driven solutions, highlighted by its manufacturing arm, Load King Manufacturing, which produces vocational equipment, standard and custom trailers, boom trucks, and truck cranes.
Recent major changes include high-profile acquisitions such as SOS Fleet Services in Alexandria, Louisiana, and A&D Maintenance and Repair in the New York City metro area, which expanded service capabilities and geographic footprint in 2024. The company also unveiled new equipment lines including the Outback Series, Voyager AMX, PalGal Loader/Cable Rolloff, and an all-electric bucket truck in 2025 through its Load King brand, exemplifying its strategic focus on electric and hybrid technologies. Additionally, Custom Truck One Source rebranded from Nesco Holdings, Inc. in 2021 following a $1.475 billion acquisition partnership with Platinum Equity, reinforcing its position as a leading provider of specialty equipment for critical infrastructure maintenance and installation across North America.
