Company History

WATERS has been a trusted name in the transportation industry since 1938, when Ray Waters Sr. founded the company in Columbus, MS. As an International Truck and IC Bus dealer, WATERS provides a full range of light, medium, heavy, and severe service vehicles, ensuring customers have access to reliable transportation solutions. WATERS remains committed to Mississippi’s school districts by offering high-quality IC Bus products with the latest safety technology. WATERS offers flexible leasing and rental solutions through Idealease, to ensure our customers have cost-effective alternatives to truck ownership. With a dedicated Idealease facility in Tupelo, MS and service locations across the state, WATERS prioritizes efficiency and superior service for commercial transportation needs.

Expanding beyond trucks and buses, WATERS is a trusted provider of trailer solutions, offering a variety of durable models from leading manufacturers. In 2015, WATERS became a Jerr-Dan Towing Equipment Dealer, solidifying its position in the towing industry. With a focus on custom builds and specialized service, WATERS established a wrecker assembly shop to meet the unique needs of towing and recovery businesses. Additionally, WATERS provides a wide range of work-truck upfits, partnering with top equipment manufacturers to deliver tailored solutions for any vocation.
