Palmer Trailer Sales Co. Inc.
Palmer
Trailer Sales Co. Inc. (dba PTS Truck-Trailer-Construction Supply) sells and procures quality heavy duty goods in the truck, trailer,
and construction industry.
Eleanor Robbins Boone founded the company in 1964. She was recognized not only as an entrepreneur, but also as a pioneering woman in the male-dominated trucking industry. Shortly after Eleanor’s passing in 2010, the business was handed down to her son, D. William Boone and his wife, Elaine Boone [photo right].
Recognizing the business had been falling into financial crisis, Elaine reached out to Allen Kronick at the Massachusetts Small Business Development Center for some guidance in the right direction. Since then, the business has grown significantly and Elaine hopes to continue this growth by strengthening the brand in the marketplace and building on its pioneering culture! Just two years ago, Palmer Trailer Sales Co. Inc. was awarded the New England and Massachusetts SBA Family-Owned Business of the Year.
