Darland recently completed the new Mid-States Utility Trailer Sales facility. This nearly 60,000-square-foot expansion is strategically located just off Highway 50 and I-80 in Papillion, marking a significant addition for one of the largest semi-trailer dealers in the United States.
“The size and scope of this building was going to require a contractor with significant experience,” said Mid-States Utility Vice President, Al Weber. “After evaluating a number of different providers, our selection process ended with choosing Darland Construction.”
The new location stands as a key regional hub designed to enhance Mid-States Utility’s operational capabilities and customer service. The project features a modern, state-of-the-art trailer shop, an expansive parts warehouse, a driver’s lounge, and modern administrative offices. A notable aspect of the project includes over 11 acres of exterior paving, designed to accommodate the extensive inventory and traffic flow of large semi-trailers.
“Managing relationships through Darland with their project manager and site superintendent made certain interruptions and bumps in the road, which we knew would come, far less impactful,” Weber said. “At every turn along the way, Darland’s anticipation of planned reactions significantly minimized the impact.”
Mid-States Utility Trailer Sales operates four locations across Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota, serving as a trusted dealer of Utility, Demco, and Extreme semi-trailers, including reefers, dry vans, flatbeds, drop decks, and side dump trailers. As a family-owned and operated full-service dealership, Mid-States Utility is recognized for its excellent reputation and commitment to delivering an outstanding customer experience. The completion of this Papillion facility reinforces their dedication to the Midwest region.
The new location is now fully operational and poised to serve the growing needs of the trucking and transportation industry.
