Richard Chafee and his father, Jack, started repairing and renting used Cat equipment in 1981. Since then, Jack’s Truck & Equipment has grown into a franchise of heavy construction equipment and commercial truck distribution throughout Wyoming, with locations in Casper, Cheyenne, Rock Springs, and right here at its foundation in Gillette.
To show appreciation for the drivers, customers, employees and vendors at JTE, they held a barbecue alongside a mini trade show and a ribbon-cutting on their new membership with the Chamber of Commerce.
Jack’s sons now own and run the business, which sells brands like Freightliner and Western Star, and provides parts service and repairs for heavy equipment. Search for parts online at Jacks Inc., or visit them at their Gillette location on South Douglas Highway.
