Our STORY

Amtruck’s story began in 1984, when Peter Levy set out to build something of his own after branching off from the family business. Driven by a passion for the industry and a clear vision for the future, Peter officially incorporated Amtruck in January 1985, focusing on the buying and selling of used trucks.

In 1987, Peter’s son, Russell, joined the company. Together, they laid the groundwork for Amtruck’s steady growth, expanding its capabilities and strengthening its reputation within the industry.

A major milestone came in 2005 with the purchase of Amtruck’s first rental garbage truck. This move marked a turning point, launching a rental division that would grow into a core part of the business and eventually expand across Canada from coast to coast.

In 2021, Amtruck entered its next phase of growth when Adam Ashley became a co-owner. Bringing deep industry experience and operational expertise, Adam helped accelerate the company’s expansion and further strengthen Amtruck’s position as a leader in garbage truck rentals.

Today, Amtruck remains rooted in its original values: industry focus, long-term relationships, and dependable service, while continuing to evolve to meet the needs of modern waste and recycling operations.

Quality is fundamental to everything Amtruck does. Our vehicles are certified. We stand behind our products. We provide service manuals and operators’ manuals. We arrange the delivery.

Russell Levy

“When I tell people that I sell and rent garbage trucks, it may sound like a funny way to make a living. But it’s critical to the way our communities work. When you need a truck, Amtruck is the first place you’d go. We’re ready.”

We could say Amtruck CEO Russell Levy’s career has been about garbage trucks, but it’s more accurate to say it has been about teamwork, collaboration and driving success for customers, partners and team members (along with countless garbage trucks!)

Russell is a graduate of Western University in London, Ontario.

Peter Levy

“I got into the used truck market for the parts, but I immediately saw keeping those trucks operating has efficiency and environmental benefits.”

Peter Levy founded Amtruck Ltd. in 1984. Although he originally established the company as a dealer sourcing parts from different types of trucks, he quickly found that providers throughout North America needed a dependable provider of new, used and rental trucks.

The company was launched in Toronto, Canada, but quickly extended its network to service providers throughout North America.

Peter remains involved in Amtruck’s day-to-day operations, providing his insight and experience to the ever-changing sector.
