Our story
One man’s dream. Carried on by family.
What began in 1984 as a single truck shop has grown into a family of companies serving the transportation and agriculture industries — still guided by the values it was built on and a strong belief in American-made products.

1984
Where it started
Martin Barclay founded Barclay Truck Rebuilders with a vision to repair, service and rebuild equipment for the transportation industry. Together with his sons, he grew BTR into an operation recognized across that industry.

Agriculture
From the highway to the field
The same know-how that kept trucks on the road carried naturally into agriculture, and BTR became a trusted name there too. Bringing in Double L — founded in 1979 by potato farmers Lynn Johnson and Leland Clinger and known for innovative potato handling equipment sold through a worldwide dealer network — combined two legacies. BTR’s work in agriculture has since grown to include Circle Z Ag & Irrigation and Legacy Compost Products.
In memory of Double L founders Leland Clinger (1927–2021) and Lynn Johnson (1931–2022).

Today

Community
Rooted where we work
From our home in Paul, Idaho, we live and work alongside the drivers, growers and families we serve. Supporting our local communities — creating local jobs, working with local businesses and standing behind the people around us — is part of how BTR does business.
