Swertfeger’s Equipment has been operating as a truck trailer repair facility since 1984 when founder, Lee Swertfeger, purchased two acres of land in Grand Terrace, California, a small city located in San Bernardino County. In 2001, Swertfeger’s Equipment was officially incorporated to become what it is now known today, Swertfeger’s Equipment, Inc. a.k.a. SEI.

As the company expanded Lee sought the assistance of his wife, Gay, as office manager, his son, Jeff, as Vice President, and daughter, Stacey, as Secretary and Treasurer. With their aide, Swertfeger’s grew from a mere two-acre facility to approximately six-acres and continue today to undergo rebuilding and remodeling of the facilities. In recent years, Swertfeger’s has expanded from a mere repair facility to also include successful sales of trailers, trailer equipment and parts.

We offer our customers a diverse inventory of new and pre-owned trailers from an array of well-known manufacturers. We provide most trailers including refuse trailers, commodity trailers, custom trailers, and our specialty, self-unloading floor trailers, etc. In addition, our company stocks name brand quality parts for your entire trailer needs ranging from nuts and bolts to tarps and walking floor parts. We currently have over twenty-five trained service men providing repair services, covering almost everything in specializing and repairing a trailer.

Swertfeger’s Equipment Inc. continues to be a family owned and operated facility. From humble aspirations Swertfeger’s Equipment, Inc. has become a company with approximately two million dollars in assets and thirty-eight full-time employees; all working towards the same goals. We strive to meet or exceed customer expectations by providing excellent customer service and value for every experience at Swertfeger’s Equipment, Inc.

A true reflection of our success can be found as a result from our many repeat and new customer bases. We have been successfully serving and satisfying the needs of many customers pertinent to the trailer service and sales industry and continue to grow.

From the Email InBox

There are a couple of things Mr. Swertrucker forgets to mention. He also provides truck parking that also brings big rigs on Michigan 24 hours a day. He has work going on till the wee hours of the morning with pounding and the sound of machinery.

Diesel fumes permeate the residential area he is located in and he built a building without the required building permits, with the approval of the city. He still has not met the obligation of moving a light standard and was wavied $41,000 in fee's.

The city has no building permits on file for him and has no idea how many building he has. He wants to move onto his property a 12,000 square foot building that goes against the agreement between he and the city that states it must be a concrete building. I know of no portable concrete buildings. While we are on the subject of trucks.

Just a few doors to the north of Mr. Swertfegers on the east side a cement contractor is allowed to operate out of his home and park his trucks and equipment there. In the evenings he blocks Michigan while he backs his trucks and trailers onto his property. Don't you park a motor home or anything else on your property unless it's on a cement pad and out of sight.
