Tri-State Trailer Sales, Inc. Celebrates 40 Years of Service

PITTSBURGH, PA…. Tri-State Trailer Sales, Inc. is celebrating its 40th year of business this year!  Tri-State was founded by Frank and Marian Mancino in June of 1985 when they became a Trailmobile dealer in Glenshaw, Pennsylvania.  It was not long until Tri-State moved to a more accessible location on Campbells Run Road in Pittsburgh.

In 1994, the Mancino's built an ultra-modern, state of the art dealership and moved to 3111 Grand Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  The new location has easy access to I-79 for their customers.

The ensuing years saw incredible growth for Tri-State, going from a single trailer dealership in Pittsburgh, PA to four full-service dealerships located in Pennsylvania and Ohio.  In 1996, Tri-State acquired a Trailmobile dealership in Lancaster, PA.  In 1998, another location was purchased in Hubbard, Ohio and in 2000, they purchased a dealership in Cincinnati, Ohio.  In 2007 they started TSTL, Inc. a semi-trailer rental and leasing company. 

Today, Joe Mancino is the President/CEO and April Slebonick (Mancino) is the Treasurer. They recently expanded their building, adding a new addition to accommodate their growing sales staff at the Pittsburgh location.  In addition, they recently purchased an adjacent building and its property for additional new and used trailer parking. The company holds a number of trailer franchises from industry leading manufacturers, including: Reitnouer, Wabash, Manac, Vanguard, Heil, Landoll, Fontaine, Dorsey, XL Specialized, Eager Beaver, Fruehauf, Stargate and BWS.

All Tri-State Trailer Sales locations are full-service dealerships, offering new and used trailer sales, parts, service, rental and leasing for all makes and models of trailers - from minor repairs to major rebuilding, including roof replacement, body and door repairs, and floor replacements for flatbeds and vans.  Tri-State also offers complete electrical and air system services as well.  Experienced factory and in-house trained technicians will perform your repairs so you can hit the road with confidence that the job was done right the first time.  The Pittsburgh and Cincinnati locations are both ASME accredited for dry bulk and liquid tank repairs.

Tri-State Trailer Sales’ motto is: “We make business easy, guaranteed.”™, a fact that is illustrated by Tri-State consistently being recognized by manufacturers over the years for being among the Top 10 in equipment sales amongst the dealer networks.  At any given time, Tri-State maintains millions of dollars in inventory between their 4 dealerships. Tri-State stocks a wide range of trailers, including vans, reefers, heavy haul & specialized multi-axles, aluminum and steel flatbeds and dropdecks, Landoll sliding axle trailers and liquid and dry bulk tankers. 

Tri-State offers several financing options through various lenders.  They also buy used trailers from individuals as well as mega fleets, auctions, and bankruptcies.

If you need a trailer on a temporary basis, Tri-State operates their own rental and leasing company, Tri-State Trailer Leasing (TSTL).  Their motto is, “We solve problems.”  All the trailer lines and models carried by Tri-State Trailer Sales are offered for rent or lease through TSTL, including Tri-State’s special Reitnouer flatbed fleet equipped with Vango Tarping Systems, which feature various charities on each individual trailer.  You can Ride With Pride while building awareness about local and national charities.
