Company profile

Rush Enterprises operates Rush Truck Centers, described as the largest network of commercial vehicle dealerships in North America. The company maintains more than 160 locations across 25 states and Ontario, Canada. These centers represent manufacturers including Peterbilt, International, Hino, Isuzu, Ford, IC Bus, and Blue Bird.

The business model integrates new and used vehicle sales with aftermarket parts, service, body shop operations, financing, insurance, leasing, and rental services. Additional operations include CNG fuel systems, telematics products, vehicle up-fitting, chrome accessories, and tires.

Rush Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: RUSHA, RUSHB) has completed a strategic joint venture with MCT Companies. This marks the commercial vehicle dealer’s first investment in a dealership group outside its core vehicle sales business.

The transaction, effective August 31, 2026, establishes MCT Holdco, LLC. Rush Enterprises and an affiliate of MCT Companies each hold a 50 percent stake in the new entity. MCT Holdco will continue to operate under the name "MCT Companies" and be led by Bill Willett as Chief Executive Officer and President.

Deal Structure and Operations

MCT Companies is one of the largest Carrier Transicold dealers in the United States. The joint venture operates a network of 17 full-service Carrier Transicold dealerships and three mobile service locations across California, Nebraska, Kansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.

The business provides sales, parts, and service for truck, trailer, and rail refrigeration systems, auxiliary power units, and refrigerated trailer rentals. For financial reporting purposes, Rush Enterprises will account for its ownership in MCT Holdco, LLC, as an equity method investment. The company will not consolidate the joint venture within its Truck Segment or any other operating segment.

Strategic Expansion

Through this investment, Rush Enterprises expands its portfolio of commercial vehicle solutions to include Carrier Transicold’s premium transport refrigeration products and services. The partnership combines MCT Companies’ technology, operating systems, and expertise with Rush Enterprises’ scale and financial resources.

W.M. "Rusty" Rush, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of Rush Enterprises, stated that the transaction represents an important step in achieving growth through investments in businesses adjacent to the commercial vehicle market.

Bill Willett, CEO of MCT Holdco, LLC, noted that the partnership provides access to additional resources and scale while allowing the company to build on its existing culture and customer relationships.

What the Numbers Show

The formation of MCT Holdco, LLC, signals a strategic pivot for Rush Enterprises beyond its core competency of owning and operating commercial vehicle dealerships. While Rush Enterprises currently operates more than 160 locations representing manufacturers such as Peterbilt, International, Hino, Isuzu, Ford, IC Bus, and Blue Bird, this joint venture introduces exposure to the specialized aftermarket segment of transport refrigeration.

The equity method accounting treatment indicates that Rush Enterprises will recognize its share of MCT Companies’ earnings in its income statement rather than consolidating revenues. This structure allows Rush to gain exposure to the growth of the refrigerated logistics sector without integrating MCT’s operations into its existing Truck Segment metrics, preserving the clarity of its core dealership performance data while diversifying its revenue streams through adjacent services.
