Carr Valley Cheese | Mack and Hino Trucks

For over a century, Carr Valley Cheese has been a cornerstone of Wisconsin’s cheesemaking tradition. Nestled in the lush pastures of central Wisconsin and owned by the Cook family, this award-winning cheese company continues the tradition of making cheese the old-fashioned way—by hand. Under the leadership of Sid Cook, a fourth generation cheesemaker who grew up in the family cheese business, the company today makes over a hundred different dairy products that are sold throughout their seven retail stores in Wisconsin and distributed throughout the United States.

“When we buy trucks, what we're looking for is relationship and quality,” says Sid. “We've had other brands for many, many years and had a lot of issues with it and were unable to get service.”

MACK AND HINO TRUCKS

To support the company’s production and distribution, Carr Valley relies on Mack Trucks and Hino to handle the complex logistics of their operations. From collecting milk to delivering cheese to their seven retail locations, Carr Valley needs trucks that are versatile, reliable, and efficient. That’s where their partnership with Kriete Truck Centers comes in.

“When we started buying Mack trucks, everything changed. We got both quality and service.”

Carr Valley’s operations require a variety of vehicles—large refrigerated trucks to transport products between their four manufacturing plants and distribution warehouses, and smaller trucks for direct delivery to their stores.

KEEPING THEIR DRIVERS COMFORTABLE

Additionally, they employ a Hino truck for their maintenance department, highlighting the versatility of their fleet. Their drivers have developed a deep appreciation for the vehicles’ comfort and reliability.

“I love this truck, at first I was a little concerned with the automatic, but it didn't take long for me to fall in love with it”

The family-run business has found great value in their partnership with Kriete Truck Centers, a trusted Mack and Hino dealer.

“We’ve had fewer problems with Mack trucks than with any other brand in the past 20 years,” Sid notes. “The partnership with Kriete has been fantastic—trustworthy service, fair pricing, and we’re able to buy a variety of trucks from single axle to quad axle.”

With Mack and Hino trucks as part of their logistics team, they can focus on doing what they do best: creating world-class cheese for customers across the U.S.
