A driver's lounge featuring cable TV and WiFi, complete with showers and laundry, also was added during the renovation along with updated office space, a parts showroom and training area designed for both employee and customer education.

The Kenworth PremierCare Gold Certified dealership has 18 service bays, which include modern tooling and Kenworth PremierCare ExpressLanes served by highly trained service technicians to keep customers on the road.

For added convenience, CIT Trucks — Fenton also has expanded hours of operation from 7 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Friday, and 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturdays.

The full-service dealership represents Kenworth Truck Company, offering new Class 5-8 vehicles, premium used trucks, parts and service, along with PACCAR Financial services, rental and leasing solutions and body shop repair.

Located at the interchange of I-270 and I-44 with convenient access from major highways I-70 and I-55, CIT Trucks — Fenton is positioned to serve both the south-central Missouri heavy-duty truck market and long-haul drivers with routes passing through the St. Louis Metro area.
