Lee-Smith, Inc. has proudly served the Chattanooga area and the tri-state region since 1939. Originally founded to sell and service International trucks and farm equipment, our business has grown over the decades into a full-service commercial truck dealership representing International, Ford, and Isuzu. With a reputation built on integrity, quality, and unmatched customer service, Lee-Smith has become a trusted partner to fleets and businesses throughout the region.
After more than 60 years of family ownership, Lee-Smith has entered into a new and exciting chapter. On February 28, 2025, the Lee family completed the sale of Lee-Smith, Inc. and its sister company, Lesco, Inc. (dba Idealease of Chattanooga), to Thompson Truck Group (TTG) — a family-owned company with deep roots in the truck dealership industry and a strong cultural alignment with our team.
As part of Thompson Truck Group, we will continue to offer the same great service, the same trusted team, and the same commitment to our customers that we've upheld for generations. With TTG’s broader resources, strong industry partnerships, and focus on uptime and innovation, our customers will benefit from even more robust support and new opportunities.
We are excited for this next phase and invite you to read more about the transition
here.
We look forward to continuing to serve you—with the same values you’ve always trusted, now backed by even greater strength.
