After all, who better than a former "insider" to understand the needs and concerns of the trucking industry!

The Controller of Tomorrow, Today!
Three years ago we began a quest to build the industry's first Smart heater controller. We began by speaking with our customers - the drivers, maintenance technicians and fleet managers that use our heaters. We asked them what new features they'd like to see added to the next generation of Espar heater controllers. We then used their input as a blueprint for developing a controller that met virtually every request on their wish list.Introducing...the Digi-Max D1000.

Our Offices Have Windows
It's been said that if you love what you do, you'll never have to work a day in your life. We agree. That's why we build Western Star trucks one at a time instead of taking the faster route. It gives us the chance to obsess over every square inch of every truck we make. The end result for you is a better quality long haul, auto haul, or bulk haul truck. Fact is, we love what we do. And we think you will, too.
SCR: The Smart Choice

Plenty of power. Welcome to the Volvo VN 670. It's the truck of choice for regional and long-haul routes.
Cascadia: Meet the Makers
Our engineers threw out the regular playbook on heavy-duty trucks to build the Cascadia. Our test fleet was fertile ground for ideas. We counted more drivers at both ends of the size spectrum: big men who needed a bigger seat, and small women who needed a more adjustable chair. They got it. And we built all controls in the cab to be usable, even with work gloves on. Then they tested, retested, then kept on testing so you'd have the most reliable and aerodynamic truck with an ultra-quiet and safe cab.
