📸 Parker Equipment Ltd—996 West Westminster Ave in Penticton, B.C. circa 1956 Lloyd Parker—Inland's founder—described a pivotal moment for his 8-year-old company in the 1973 edition of Inland Info: "In the fall of 1956, Bob Hayes came in and asked if we could sell him a Kenworth. I said, 'Sure.' I knew Ferguson Trucks handled not only Ferguson tractors but also Kenworth trucks. So, I telephoned old Bill Ferguson and told him we had a good prospect for a Kenworth truck. He said he would send one of his salesmen up and, if successful, he would pay us 5%. One or two days later, in drove this very young-looking salesman who introduced himself as none other than our Bill North [future Inland President]. We went up to Bob Hayes’ place and sold him a new Kenworth. A year went by and we suddenly realized that Bob had never been back for warranty, service, or repair. We thought he had either dropped dead or that it was 'one hell of a truck.' So, we went up to see him. He was very happy and had no problems. We then realized that this was the only way to go. We contacted Ferguson and made a working agreement to sell Kenworth trucks for him. Shortly after that, Canadian Kenworth established a factory in Vancouver and bought out Ferguson Trucks. We took on the Kenworth franchise for the Okanagan in 1957." This year, we are celebrating Inland's 75th anniversary. We are all grateful for Lloyd's keen business sense and his ability to recognize the enormous potential in the Kenworth product! Today, we are proud to be one of the oldest and largest Kenworth dealers in the world. #Inland75

“I saw someone get married under a Tigercat in Idaho, and I knew that was what I wanted one day,” Levon says. When he met his future wife, it was one of the first things he mentioned—she could plan whatever she wanted for the wedding, as long as they got married under a Tigercat grapple. Fortunately, she was more than happy to make that dream a reality. Congratulations to the Farleys for tying the knot this summer. We're honored that the Inland and TCi Industries teams could be part of your big day.

We had some special vistors today at Inland Regina. Bill and James have come all the way from Australia to do a tour of the prairies, even making a stop at the Calgary Stampede. Back home they are farmers with a big love for Kenworth trucks! We took a look at some of our new models and exchanged some stories. It was a pleasure to meet you both!
