(March 2009) Early years In the 1930s, (CF) decided to produce their own truck line from reconstructed, after finding most heavy trucks lacked sufficient power to climb the steep mountain grades in the western. The trucks were branded 'Freightliners', with the first units produced in Consolidated Freightways' maintenance facility in Salt Lake City around 1942. After production was interrupted during WW II, manufacturing began again, in CF's home of Portland, Oregon.

In 1949, the first truck sold outside of Consolidated Freightways went to forklift manufacturer, also based in Portland. Today, that truck is in the collection in Washington, D.C. Lacking distribution capability, and seeking higher volume to reduce production costs, CF entered into an agreement in 1951 to sell their trucks through the, of Cleveland, Ohio, and their dealer network in the US and Canada. This relationship endured for the next quarter century, and the co-branded 'White Freightliner' (COE) became a familiar sight on highways across the continent. 1960s Manufacturing began in Burnaby, British Columbia, in 1961, to reduce the duty penalty on the complete vehicles sold in Canada. Assembly plants in Indianapolis and Chino, California complemented the main plant on Swan Island in Portland, serving the US market. In 1969, a new assembly plant was opened on North Basin St., which was then converted to parts production.

1970s White Motor Company became troubled in the 1970s. Expansion into and consumed capital without producing a return, and the relationship with Consolidated Freightways became frayed.

In 1974, the distribution agreement was terminated, and Freightliner Corp. Began life as a freestanding manufacturer and distributor. Many of the first dealers were from the White Motor Co.

Network, but some entrepreneurs also signed up to represent the trucks without the White Motor Co. Franchise as a complement. At the same time, the company introduced its first conventional model, an adaptation of the high COE mainstay product.

High COEs accounted for well over 50% of the US market in those days, owing to overall length regulations that limited the bumper-to-taillight dimension of a semitrailer unit to 55 ft on interstate highways. Were popular on western roads due to more convenient ingress/egress, better ride, and easier access to the engine for servicing. In 1979, a new plant in and a parts manufacturing plant in, were constructed, both in the Charlotte metropolitan area. Volumes continued to increase. The year 1979 marked a consequential event in the evolution of Freightliner, and of the whole trucking and truck manufacturing industries. President Carter signed bills into law both on the ground and in the skies.

Deregulation changed the economics of trucking and removed the system of regulated carriage that protected carriers, instead allowing more competition. 1980s: Daimler-Benz takes over Three years later, the of 1982 relaxed weight and length standards and imposed a new excise tax on heavy trucks and the tires they use. No longer was the overall length of semitrailer combinations restricted; rather, only the trailer was specified, to be not greater than 53 ft in length. Individual states retained more restrictive overall length laws, but fundamentally, the rules had changed forever. Consolidated Freightways, a traditional, unionized carrier that flourished in the era before deregulation, realized it was in a fight for its life.

In May 1981, it sold its truck manufacturing business and the Freightliner brand to Daimler-Benz, allowing it to concentrate its management attention and financial resources on its traditional trucking business. Around this time, the Chino and Indianapolis plants were closed permanently. Consolidated Freightways continued carrier business until 2002, when it ceased operation on Labor Day weekend. In 1985 Freightliner introduced a new Medium Conventional series (FLD112), using the passenger portion of the cabin from the then recently introduced Mercedes-Benz LK. Mercedes cabins gradually became used for a number of Freightliner trucks. In 1989, Freightliner acquired a standing plant in, near Statesville, that had been producing transit buses for German manufacturer. Freightliner from the late 1990s In 1991, after years of poor sales, parent company Daimler ended its sales of Mercedes-Benz medium-duty trucks in North America.

In their place, Freightliner entered the medium-duty truck segment (Class 5-7) with the. A downsized version of the FLC conventional, it shared many cab components with the Mercedes-Benz LKN cabover, adapted for use on a conventional. The first all-new entry in the medium-duty market in over a decade, the FL-Series met with success.

Another pronounced downturn in the industry's fortunes necessitated drastic measures to restore Freightliner to financial health, and Dr, now the chairman of Daimler's Board of Management, was dispatched to lead the project as CEO. The Burnaby assembly plant was closed, replaced by a new facility in St. Thomas, Ontario. Cost reduction programs across the company restored profitability when the market rebounded.

Significantly, production also commenced in, about 30 miles (48 km) outside Mexico City, in a plant owned by Daimler-Benz. At that time, the plant was also producing buses, Brazilian-designed medium-duty trucks, and compact Mercedes-Benz passenger cars.

The 1990s were a busy era for truck manufacturers in general, and for Freightliner in particular, under the leadership of flamboyant James L. Hebe, a former Kenworth sales executive who joined the company in 1989. During the decade, Freightliner made numerous acquisitions to further diversify itself: 1995 – Oshkosh Custom Chassis in became Freightliner Custom Chassis, producing the underpinnings for walk-in vans used by companies such as to deliver parcels and for uniform laundry services; diesel recreational vehicles; conventional; and shuttle buses. The Oshkosh and Freightliner partnership has dissolved, and Oshkosh is no longer affiliated with Freightliner.

1996 –, a 130-year-old manufacturer of fire apparatus, was purchased; it was Mr. Hebe's first employer. LaFrance had fallen on hard times and was moribund at the time of the acquisition.

1997 –, a subdivision, was created as Freightliner acquired the product rights to the newly designed Class 8 trucks from along with the North American production rights to the. Intended primarily as vocational trucks, the Sterling product line borrowed its name from an early White Motor Company brand; it slotted between Freightliner and Western Star in the Daimler product line.

1998 –, of, was acquired; it was a producer of all classes of bodies, and forward control chassis. 2000–2007. A Freightliner Coca-Cola Christmas truck in, Germany. Freightliners play a prominent role in Coca-Cola's Holidays are Coming! Campaign, and are decorated with elaborate displays of coloured ropelights and bulbs. 2000 –, Inc., the successor to the White Motor Co.

Of Canada, and its assembly plants in Kelowna, British Columbia, and Ladson, South Carolina were acquired. 2000 – Detroit Diesel Corp., Redford, Michigan, the former General Motors subsidiary had been revived by and was attractive to DaimlerChrysler as a point of entry into the North American heavy-duty diesel industry. This company was actually acquired by another unit of DaimlerChrysler, but operations were gradually integrated into Freightliner. Throughout this era, a number of small fire and rescue apparatus manufacturers were acquired and rolled into the American LaFrance entity. By 2001, the company was awash in used trucks it could not sell due to questionable business decisions made by Jim Hebe, and the company was saddled with a number of poor-performing operations at a time when the core business, still the Freightliner over-the-road truck offerings, was in recession. Former Freightliner CFO Rainer Schmueckle was dispatched by DaimlerChrysler to once again turn the company around. The Kelowna Western Star plant was closed, as was a Thomasbuilt facility in Woodstock, Ontario and parts manufacturing at the old Portland plant was discontinued.

American LaFrance production was consolidated in the former Western Star plant in Ladson, South Carolina, but the attempt to integrate specialized emergency vehicles into a company noted for high volume production capabilities proved unworkable, and American LaFrance was sold in 2005 to a private equity fund. 2007–present.
