DTNA Delivers 50,000th Freightliner Truck To US Xpress
Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) has delivered its 50,000th Freightliner truck to the freight carrier US Xpress.
The Freightliner truck is a heavy-duty Cascadia equipped with a 72-inch (1.80-meter) raised roof and a Detroit Diesel DD15 engine.
Martin Daum, President and CEO of DTNA, and Mark Lampert, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at DTNA, handed over the vehicle to Max Fuller, co-Chairman of U.S. Xpress Enterprises, during a special ceremony at the company’s headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
DTNA president and CEO Martin Daum said that they are proud of the long-term relationship between U.S. Xpress and Freightliner Trucks, and look forward to continuing to provide them with the most productive and reliable trucks available on the market.
US Xpress Enterprises co-chairman Max Fuller said that Freightliner has been integral to their expansion, and US Express like dealing with the best-in-class for everything, and the products and management of Freightliner Trucks fit that charge.
We bought about 150 Freightliner trucks in our very first order, which was almost half of the Southwest Motor Freight fleet at the time, Fuller said.
The new equipment, good fuel economy, and consistent specs helped solve a lot of issues in our fast-growing company.
