Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott visits Sheridan, Arkansas’ Crouse Truck Parts & Equipment Company, Inc. The past decade has been one of change and growth for Crouse Truck Parts & Equipment Co., Inc.  Located down a winding wooded path off of Highway 167 in Grant County, the repair shop opened for business in 1984, founded by Buddy and Dianne Crouse. It originated as the company shop for Crouse Logging, Buddy’s day job since 1966. He had the shop for handling repairs and maintenance on his own trucks. By the mid ’80s he had started a side business taking on truck/trailer repair jobs for other loggers. He already had two mechanics, so it was a way to make some money back from the shop instead of using it only to support his logging crew. The shop began its evolution into something more soon enough, seizing opportunities as they emerged.
