When you see a Freightliner on the road or drive it yourself you truly understand the tagline, ‘Run Smart’, that goes with these spectacular trucks and accessories. Freightliner is the leading producer of medium and heavy duty trucks, commercial vehicles from classes 5 through 8, customized chassis and semi truck accessories.

Freightliner truck have a rich heritage that can be traced back to as early as the 1930s, when Consolidated Freightways realized the lack of powerful heavy trucks that could negotiate the mountainous roads in the Western part of the U.S. and decided to build trucks known as ‘freightliners’. In 1981 Mercedes-Benz bought the truck manufacturing business from Consolidated Freightways, while the latter focussed on traditional trucking business. Today the company is owned by Daimler-Chrylser and its logo also appears on the Sprinter or the Class 2 Merecedes-Benz van that is sold through its dealer network. The company is also a leader in the school bus, diesel Class A recreational vehicle chassis, and walk-in van markets.
