70 years of Heritage
It all started in 1954 when Al Pliler hired on at the local International truck and tractor dealership on Highway 80 in Longview, TX as a parts counterperson. Al worked his way up on the manufacturer side of the truck business and held various positions in Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Louisiana. After nearly 30 years in the industry, Al decided it was time to chart his own course. In November 1983, alongside his son Darrell, Pliler International was born, representing the trusted International brand and beginning a new chapter in the family’s legacy.
Today we serve the northeast Texas and northwest Louisiana truck markets with dealership locations in Longview, TX and Shreveport, LA. Over the past 70 years, the Pliler family has built a rich heritage, amassing more than 140 years of combined experience in the heavy truck business. This deep-rooted expertise, paired with a commitment to exceptional service, ensures that Pliler International remains a leader in the industry.
