Leonard Truck and Trailer started out as a modest family-owned operation in North Jackson, Ohio in 1963. Over the decades, it has grown into one of the country’s leading providers of trailers, trucks, motorhomes, accessories, and all manner of related services. Going the extra mile for its customers has always been a key point of focus for Leonard Truck and Trailer, and has been a cornerstone of its success over the last 60 years.

Recently, Leonard Truck and Trailer faced a serious data loss, losing several years' worth of important media and documents. Fortunately, the team at LT&T got in touch with Secure Data Recovery. We were then able to put their minds at ease, swiftly recovering their precious data and allowing them to get back to business as usual.

North Jackson Backyard Beginnings

Leonard Truck and Trailer’s journey began in 1963 when Stan and Peg Leonard started a small operation out of their backyard in North Jackson, Ohio. The couple initially dealt solely with horse trailers, but in the twenty-three years that followed, expanded their repertoire to all kinds of trailers and accessories.

In 1986, the couple’s son, Clint Leonard, joined the team as a sales rep. He spearheaded a period of strong growth, further expanding its product line and building the largest trailer part and aftermarket sales department in the state.

Today, LT&T is renowned for offering a massive array of trailer types. This wasn’t always the case, however—a large part of this expansion was driven by Clint.

Moving On Up

Under Clint’s leadership, Leonard Truck and Trailer was growing a little too large for its original location. In 1999, the Leonards made the pivotal move to a new facility, still in North Jackson, but with hugely expanded premises and better access to major cities like Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

This new, enormous location played a key role in cementing Leonard Truck and Trailer’s position as a leader in its field. It now boasts a 24,000-square-foot facility, along with an 11,000-square-foot service center. Today, LT&T is synonymous with all things truck and trailer, from purchasing to general upkeep and even custom vinyl graphics.

How We Helped Avert a Crisis

Recently, the team at Leonard Truck and Trailer was caught off guard when they found that their external hard drives, containing years of important data, were no longer working. Understandably, they were a bit shaken by the idea that this media was permanently gone.

Thankfully, Tony Dickson from LT&T happened upon Secure Data Recovery, and promptly got in touch with us. On a quick examination of their removable drives, we found that this job was well within our wheelhouse, and assured LT&T that their data was safe.

Our team then worked swiftly to restore all the data and get it back to the team at Leonard, helping them avert what might have been a major business crisis.
