Freightliner Trucks History

The Freightliner Trucks brand is one of the most recognizable and respected names in the trucking industry. Fleet managers and owner-operators alike associate Freightliner Trucks with efficient, dependable vehicles — business tools to be relied upon day in and day out under even the most punishing conditions.

Freightliner Trucks manufactures Class 5-8 models that serve a wide range of commercial vehicle applications. Its commitment to innovation, advanced technology and responsive customer relations makes it easy to understand why Freightliner Trucks is the best-selling brand of heavy-duty Class 8 trucks in North America.
The long-haul on-highway product lineup is led by the Freightliner Cascadia Evolution, a truck designed from the ground up to maximize efficiency — inside and out. The owner-operator preferred Coronado combines efficiency with traditional styling to create a bold truck that turns heads. Vocational product offerings include a broad range of trucks which are highly customizable to serve a variety of applications. The versatile Business Class M2 is well suited for local pick-up and delivery, towing and utility applications while the rugged 108SD, 114SD, 122SD and Coronado SD offer higher horsepower ratings with heavier suspensions and frames to handle construction, refuse and heavy-haul duties
Freightliner Trucks offers comprehensive, 24/7 customer support including one of the largest dealer and service networks in the industry, solid warranties and customizable financing options. Fleet managers and owner-operators associate Freightliner Trucks with efficient, long-lasting vehicles — trucks that are engineered for profit while offering the lowest total cost of ownership.

As the name suggests, Freightliner specializes in producing parts for land-based freight. That means everything from heavy-duty rigs to lightweight trucks. If it can haul, Freightliner has parts that can make it can haul better.

The Freightliner brand has been around since 1940. Back in World War II, the company even produced parts for ships and aircraft to support the war effort. Now, however, the company produces almost exclusively tractors, trailers, and all the components that make them fit together.

Freightliner's array of parts is so comprehensive that the company actually offers the option to custom-build a rig from the ground up. Of course, that can run you tens of thousands of dollars, which can be a steep price to pay when you only want a new set of wheel nuts.

Truckers all over the world have fallen in love with Freightliner parts. Not only does the company offer hundreds of different pieces of hardware, it also tailor-makes that hardware to match the exact specifications of your truck. That means that buying a Freightliner part is guaranteed to fit where you want it.

Since Freightliner is a full-service trucking manufacturer, you can find just about anything you're looking for on one of their shelves. Busted an axle? Freightliner can sell you a high-grade stainless steel replacement. Air-condition give out on a haul through a Florida summer? Freightliner can get a full AC repair kit to you in no time.

When it comes to Freightliner, it's a safe bet that they've got something you can use.
