About Matt

More than just finding a truck.

I’m Matt Sherman, a commercial truck sales consultant at Rhode Island Truck Center. I have more than 18 years of automotive sales and management experience, including the last two-plus years focused specifically on commercial trucks.

My goal is to make the buying process straightforward. Whether you need a Freightliner, Isuzu, or pre-owned truck, I’ll help you compare configurations, understand specifications, explore financing and warranty options, and find a truck that truly fits the job.

I also create “What the Truck” videos to explain truck features and terminology in a practical, easy-to-understand way.

What the Truck

Plain-English answers on the stuff that actually matters.

I break down GVWR, truck bodies, financing, warranties, emissions systems, and full truck specs in short videos — so you know exactly what you're buying before you sign anything.
