Greg Knox
Food Truck & Trailer Specialist
Greg Knox joined Russell Barnett Ford of Tullahoma in the summer of 2020 with a mission: to take the dealership’s food truck sales to a national level. With Bob Trewyn set to retire in two years, Greg was handpicked to continue and expand Bob’s vision.
Wasting no time, Greg quickly established new accounts in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Michigan within his first two years. By 2023, he expanded operations to the West Coast, securing partnerships in California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Colorado, Arizona—and even Hawaii.
Through their combined efforts, Greg and Bob transformed Russell Barnett Ford into the #1 Stocking Dealer of Morgan Olson Foundation Food Trucks nationwide. But Greg didn’t stop there. Recognizing the need for top-quality food trailers, he scoured the industry for the best manufacturer and found it in Red Fern Dynamic of Georgia—a leader in innovation with several patents and the 2024 Most Innovative Trailer of the Year award in Las Vegas.
No matter your food truck or trailer needs, Greg is here to help. Plus, with financing options available—including full financing for both the truck and kitchen build-out—getting on the road has never been easier.
Let Greg help you bring your mobile food business to life!
