Midway Ford began operations in 1961 as Ford Motor Company’s first Ford truck-only dealership in the nation. An Employee Stock Ownership Plan was installed in 1982 to reward the employees for their teamwork and dedication. Midway has successfully utilized its centralized location in gaining national prominence. Its location has allowed access to many large trucking companies and is a major reason why over 90% of Midway’s business is commercial. Midway is proud of its history of retaining quality employees. Over 60% of the 200+ employees have over ten years of continuous service with the company. In May of 2009, Midway Ford purchased certain assets of the Freightliner dealership in Quincy, Illinois and became the Freightliner dealership for an 11-county area in Illinois and Missouri along the Mississippi River. The Quincy facility is currently a parts and service facility, and new and used sales, parts and service facility was opened in Palmyra, Missouri in June of 2009. Midway USA, Inc, doing business as Midway USA Collision Center, is a separate body, frame, front-end and paint shop which expanded in 2005 to a centralized location in the Kansas City area. Midway Ford Truck Center is the recipient of Ford's highest form of dealer recognition. The President’s Award is presented to only ten percent of the Ford Dealers. It is a product of our commitment to our customers and employees, and it is an award which Midway has won 10 years in a row.
