Description

Foster Coach, Inc. Sales was founded in 1957 by Floyd E. Foster in Sterling, Illinois, selling funeral coaches and ambulances. It evolved into the business it has become today from years of hard work, honest and sincere feelings for the customer, quality products sold, and the best service available. In June of 1973, after graduating from Illinois State University, Steve Foster joined his father, primarily to sell ambulances, as Floyd thought trucks should deliver products, not people. Steve had an EMT license and had a feel for what the vehicles needed to have to perform to the needs of the EMT. Steve, now President of the company, handles sales in the Chicago Metro area. Floyd retired in 1985 and lived in Sterling to "keep an eye" on the business and be close to his family & friends. He passed away in November 2002 after about ten years of worsening health. In July of 1979, Foster Coach, Inc. began selling Medtec ambulances in Wisconsin. Wisconsin ambulance sales took off. We dropped the funeral coaches in 1995, and Steve concentrated his efforts on ambulances full time. Kevin Klocke joined Foster Coach, Inc. in 1985, starting in the parts and service side of the business. He eventually worked into sales, and now covers Iowa and Missouri for the company. His working knowledge of the ambulance, as well as his service background has proved invaluable to his success in building new accounts...
