Daimler Truck Financial Celebrates 40 Years in the U.S.
Daimler Truck Financial has announced that this year, 2014, marks a major company milestone, –40 years in the U.S. trucking industry.

Since that time, the company has grown to more than 200 employees located across the country, with offices in Farmington Hills, Michigan, Fort Mill, South Carolina and Fort Worth, Texas.
Through the years, Daimler Truck Financial has grown its financial portfolio as the company’s product offerings expanded.

Today, the company offers financing and insurance products for the Freightliner, Western Star, Thomas Built and Sprinter brands. Daimler Trucks North America is a market leader for Class 6-8 trucks in the United States.
“Freightliner Trucks has customers who are purchasing Freightliner equipment, not only because of our innovative product lines, but because Daimler Truck Financial is their trusted partner that stood by them during difficult times and helped their business grow,” stated Brian Cota, Vice President of Sales for Freightliner Trucks.
Recognized as a valuable partner by the dealer network and fleet customers, Daimler Truck Financial is consistently a top-ranked financial services provider in third-party surveys.
