Unable
to find a manufacturer to build his new design, Leland James, the
founder of Consolidated Freightways, founded what would become
Freightliner. Photographs handpicked from the Freightliner Corporate
Archives, combined with in-depth captions, document Freightliner trucks
from those first trucks up to its partnership with Daimler Chrysler.
Through
the years Freighliners trucks brought many innovations including the
all-aluminum cab, the integrated aluminum sleeper compartment and the
full 90 degree tilt cab, all documented in the book.
