Rush Enterprises agreed to form a 50/50 joint venture with MCT Companies, creating MCT Holdings, LLC to operate MCT’s Carrier Transicold dealership network, with closing expected in Q3 2026.

On July 23, 2026, Rush Enterprises, Inc. announced it has signed an agreement to form a 50/50 strategic joint venture with an affiliate of MCT Companies, one of the largest Carrier Transicold dealers in the United States, to operate MCT’s network of truck, trailer and rail refrigeration and auxiliary power unit dealerships across multiple U.S. states. The new entity, MCT Holdings, LLC, will be led by Bill Willett as Chief Executive Officer and President, aims to enhance service capabilities for refrigerated transportation customers through additional investment in technology, facilities and technicians, and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026 subject to customary closing conditions.
