We're Now Carrying Freightliner Parts!

We couldn't be more excited to announce we've added Freightliner to our family of brands! When truck drivers think of power, innovation, and reliability on the open road, the Freightliner name roars loudly. But this industry giant didn't just roll out of the garage fully formed---it started with a bold idea and a man determined to reshape the future of trucks.

Freightliner's Origin

It began in 1942, in the midst of a world at war and an economy that demanded more efficient transportation. Leland James, the founder of Consolidated Freightways, had a vision for a line of trucks that were lighter, faster, and stronger. While others scoffed at the idea of using aluminum chassis in place of traditional steel, James pressed forward, pioneering a design that would spark a revolution in commercial trucking. That leap of faith laid the groundwork for what we now know as Freightliner.

The gamble paid off. James' aluminum-framed trucks not only proved viable---they were game-changers. They offered better fuel economy with improved payload capacities and gave Freightliner a leg up in an increasingly competitive market. Over the years, that spirit of innovation became the company's calling card.

Fast forward to 1981, another landmark year. Freightliner caught the attention of German automotive powerhouse Daimler-Benz, which acquired the company and set the stage for more expansion and technological innovation. Then in 2008, Freightliner began operating under the Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) umbrella---a name that has since become synonymous with cutting-edge innovation in the trucking world.

The Future of Freightliner

Freightliner not only makes history---it also shapes the future.Take, for example, the Inspiration Truck that was unveiled in 2015. This was a prototype and a statement. As the first licensed autonomous commercial truck to drive on an open U.S. highway, its debut crossing the Hoover Dam made headlines and turned heads worldwide.

That same drive powers Freightliner's ongoing concept vehicles like the SuperTruck II and Revolution Innovation projects. These aren't just flashy experiments---they're real-world testing grounds for efficiency, sustainability, and the next technology breakthroughs. From hybrid and electric platforms to aerodynamic enhancements and AI-powered driving systems, Freightliner is constantly pushing the envelope.

At the core of this success is a simple philosophy: "trucking down to a science." Every truck that rolls off the line is the result of extensive research, customer feedback, and an unwavering commitment to performance. Whether it's a medium-duty workhorse or a high-powered on-highway rig, Freightliner trucks are engineered to boost productivity, cut costs, and keep businesses moving.

Today, Freightliner holds the title of North America's top-selling truck brand across multiple categories---medium duty, on-highway, severe duty, and electric. That dominance isn't just a coincidence; it's the product of over 80 years of relentless innovation, customer dedication, and a passion for perfection.
