In 1967, Western Star Trucks was founded, birthing what would eventually become one of the most recognizable names when it comes to commercial trucks and equipment. Combining decades of knowledge with a commitment to the evolution of the industry, Western Star creates commercial and specialty trucks that are powerful, innovative, and reliable. In the trucking industry, it’s essential to keep moving forward—and Western Star Trucks does just that, creating the next generation of vocational, highway, and off-road truck options.
The founding principle of Western Star Trucks is this: “The driver is the most valuable asset in trucking.” Their ultra-tough trucks are used in such varied vocations as logging and mining, while also being found on the highways that criss-cross the country, transporting key goods.
Western Star is a subsidiary of Daimler Trucks North America, with its headquarters located in Portland, Oregon. Every Western Star commercial truck reflects both the trusted roots and groundbreaking innovation of this storied company.
