Load Line Manufacturing held a grand re-opening yesterday to celebrate an expansion to the company's parts store.

 

 "We've doubled the size of the store so we can have more parts for our customers and of course we needed more parts for the trucks that we service," says Jake Friesen, Load Line president.

 

 

 Friesen attributes the growth of the business to his staff. The company employs around 90 people.

 

 He notes the closure of elevators over the last two decades has increased the need for larger grain trucks and semis.

 

 

 Friesen estimates 800 people attended the event yesterday.
