When Reinhard Selking started working for International Harvester in 1940, he never dreamed the International name would stay with his family for over 80 years. Reiney performed set-up and delivery of farm equipment for the dealership, then located on 2nd Street in downtown Decatur. In 1950, the business moved to 13th Street in Decatur, and during this time period, Reiney worked as a mechanic and parts salesman, advancing to parts manager and eventually to a sales position.
February of 1965, Reiney bought out the shareholders and Decatur Truck and Tractor became a family owned and operated business. Then in January 1998, Decatur Truck and Tractor purchased Lehman International, a Navistar dealership in Muncie, IN, and Selking International Trucks was formed. The same year Selking International Trucks officially began, the organization became a full lease and rental operation.
June 2005, the purchase of Great Lakes International’s Fort Wayne location on Goshen Road took place.
2009 was an exciting year for the entire Selking Organization, with the purchase of 2 more dealerships in Indiana! January 2nd, 2009 was the purchase of the Richmond, IN dealership. August 1, 2009 was the purchase of the South Bend, IN dealership.
Selking International Trucks opened a dealership in Elkhart, IN on October 3, 2011 and 2 dealerships in Stony Ridge & Bryan, Ohio and 1 in Monroe, Michigan as of January 7, 2015. July 31st, 2018 Selking International Trucks purchased the LaGrange, IN dealership. The Greensburg, IN dealership was purchased on July 3rd, 2023, making a total of 11 dealerships!
Between all eleven dealerships, we offer truck sales, parts, service, lease & rental, mobile maintenance and a body and paint shop with a full line of finance options. Selking International Trucks & Idealease has grown, evolved and specialized in providing our customers with outstanding customer service to meet their truck and equipment needs.

Jim Selking is semi-retired and continues to work as a truck salesman, John Selking is the New Truck Sales Manager and Joe Selking is the President/General Manager at the Fort Wayne dealership. Jerry Selking is enjoying retirement and spending quality time with his family.
