After being at the same location for many years in Oshkosh, Wisconsin we finally
moved to a much larger facility. This new shop is quite the upgrade from the old shop.
It is a 36 by 72 building with 14 foot drive through doors. At the old shop you could
barely fit one tractor in it. This will make the Koshollecks happy workers, it will be
especially nice to be able to fit a tractor and trailer inside away from the bad weather
outside.

After completing the parking lot repairs in the fall of 1999, we are now in the
process of putting up a new building. It will be a 60 x 60 with three bays. One bay
will be used for the service of tractors, and the other two for the maintenance of
trailers.
