“We are excited that our new building project is under way and full speed ahead,” said Justin Morgan, general manager. “We are most grateful for the patience of our dedicated employees and loyal customers as we transition to our new facility in Scranton.”

Our Hunter Truck – Scranton location replaces our previous Hunter Truck – Pocono branch, which was located in Bartonsville, PA. Adding this new state-of-the-art Hunter Truck facility allows us to be closer to our customers and better serve their heavy duty trucking needs.

“The Scranton service team is excited to support our customers with our new shop, driver’s lounge, and overall dealership to better fit their needs,” said Steven Gower, service manager. “We also offer road service, so even if you can’t make it into our new shop, you can receive our services on your site.”

The new Scranton body shop will feature the newest tools for frame repairs, wheel alignment and refinishing. The team will be able to utilize this new space to not only repair damaged trucks, but also turn them into showstoppers with our Global Finishing Solutions (GFS) downdraft paint baking booth, detail bays, BeeLine frame press, and Hunter alignment equipment.

“Our new body shop will put us on the leading edge of truck collision repair in our region, allowing us to establish direct repair agreements with every insurance carrier in our surrounding area,” said Michael Santarsiero, body shop manager. “Having a top-tier facility will also allow us to attract the best technicians available, who, naturally, would prefer to work in such an environment.”

On top of our new service and body shop areas, our parts department will hold over $4.5 million in parts inventory, allowing the Scranton parts team to get our customers what they need every day, twice a day. With a convenient showroom for walk-in customers to visit and a separate call center, the parts team is ready to help our wide range of customers’ needs.

“Our new building in Scranton will have one of the largest truck part inventories in northeast Pennsylvania,” said John Wilson, parts manager. “With our large inventory, experienced parts sales team, and our second-to-none parts delivery service, the Hunter Truck – Scranton customer experience will be unmatched.”

Our Scranton parts department offers twice a day parts delivery to customers spanning eastern New York, northeast Pennsylvania, and northeast New Jersey. We offer original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts from Peterbilt as well as aftermarket part brands like TRP, JTP, and more.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Colombia arrived at the World Cup with dreams of redemption after missing out on Qatar in 2022. Although it was tense at times, the Cafeteros got off to a strong start.

Luis Díaz had a goal and an assist in his debut on soccer's biggest stage, sparking Colombia to a 3-1 win over Uzbekistan on Wednesday night.

“That’s what we came here to do. It’s very important to win this first game. We controlled the first half, but they played better in the second,” said Díaz, who plays for Bayern Munich. “We must improve.”

Daniel Muñoz, also playing in his first World Cup, opened the scoring in the 40th minute after a pass from Díaz, who scored the tiebreaking goal in the 65th when his strike from close range deflected off the hands of diving goalkeeper Utkir Yusupov and trickled across the line.

“We knew that it was going to be a tough match,” Colombia coach Nestor Lorenzo said.

Fayzullaev Abbosbek scored in the 60th minute for Uzbekistan, which made its World Cup debut in front of a heavily pro-Colombia crowd of 80,824 at Estadio Azteca.

“It is a wonderful joy, but emotionally, I think it weighed on some of the players who suffered physically,” Lorenzo said. “It has to do with the emotional burden generated by the opening match and the setting in which we played — especially since we were expected to take the initiative and were under pressure to win.”

With the White Wolves' defeat, three of the four debuting teams at this year's World Cup lost their first match. Cape Verde played Spain to a draw, while Curaçao and Jordan lost.

“For a small team like ours, to lose 3-1 is too much,” said Uzbekistan coach Fabio Cannavaro, an Italian who took over the team in October 2025. “We have good quality for an Asian team, but we need to grow. It was a good experience.”

Jaminton Campaz added a goal in second-half stoppage time for the Colombians, who are ranked 13th in the world and were heavy favorites over 50th-ranked Uzbekistan. Colombia's best World Cup finish was a run to the quarterfinals in Brazil in 2014.

“We needed to hit the ground running. Now we can enjoy the rest of the night,” midfielder Gustavo Puerta said.

Colombia moved atop Group K, ahead of Portugal and Congo, who played to a surprising 1-1 draw earlier Wednesday.

The Colombians will face Congo next Thursday at Guadalajara, Mexico, while Uzbekistan will take on Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal at Houston.

“We are going to play against a tough team that played great against one of the best teams in the world. It is going to be hard,” Lorenzo said.

Colombia finished third in South American qualifying behind Argentina and Ecuador. Uzbekistan was second in its Asian qualifying group behind Iran.
