Our History

Keeping Customers On The Move Since 1976

Over 34 years, Universal Truck and Trailer has built a solid reputation providing truck sales, service, and parts to customers in and around Atlantic Canada.

Originally affiliated with Universal Sales Limited, a company that manufactured Scott trucks out of Debert, Nova Scotia, UT&T has grown to be the largest heavy-duty truck and trailer dealership in the Maritimes under one roof. Today, UT&T's main dealership and head office is in Dieppe, NB, with a network of service centres across New Brunswick and PEI.

Universal Truck and Trailer became a Freightliner dealership in 1981 and a Western Star dealership in 2005. In the early 1990's , Roadsmarts was introduced, our popular parts and service program with specials featured in our monthly newsletter.

With a commitment to top quality service every step of the way, our size has allowed us to create buying power and consistently deliver better value for our customers.
