	Our History – Freightliner LLC
		Freightliner LLC was built on a concept as relevant today as it was when the company was founded more than 60 years ago: Build a better vehicle.
		When he approached truck manufacturers with his idea of building truck components with lightweight aluminum instead of steel, he was met with resistance and skepticism.
		As Freightliner LLC moves through its seventh decade in business, it remains committed to the values on which it was founded: innovation, quality and an unwavering dedication to meeting customers' needs.

	Freightliner LLC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The company is known mainly for the heavy duty class 8 diesel trucks that it produces, as well as class 5-7 trucks.
		As of 2005 Freightliner is the largest manufacturer of heavy duty trucks in North America with annual earnings of over $17 billion (2005 est.) and over 22,000 employees (including Detroit Diesel).
		Today, that truck is in the Smithsonian collection in Washington, D.C. Lacking distribution capability, and seeking higher volume to reduce production costs, CF entered into an agreement to sell their trucks through the White Motor Company, of Cleveland, OH, and their dealer network in the U.S. and Canada.
