Powering Midwest Logistics: How Decker 24 HR Truck and Trailer Can Keep Fleets Running Strong at General Mills’ New Belvidere Facility

A new chapter in Midwest distribution is unfolding in Belvidere, Illinois, where General Mills has launched a massive 1.3 million-square-foot storage and distribution facility. Located just off Irene Road, this state-of-the-art hub is a game-changer for the food giant’s supply chain — and it’s a golden opportunity for fleet operators to align with a reliable, local maintenance partner.

Enter Decker 24 HR Truck and Trailer — the region’s trusted solution for fast, expert fleet maintenance.

🏗 The New General Mills Distribution Center: A Logistics Landmark

With cutting-edge automation and prime access to I-90, this new facility is designed for high-volume throughput and 24/7 efficiency. Hundreds of trucks will move in and out of Belvidere daily, delivering and distributing General Mills’ household-name products across the Midwest.
