Peterbilt presents Hinz Trucking with first Model 567 Heritage

Peterbilt Motors Co. presented the first production Model 567 Heritage to Hinz Trucking, who drove it off the assembly line at Peterbilt’s Denton, Texas, manufacturing facility. Badged with Heritage logos on the grille and sleeper engraved with “No. 001,” the truck is the first of 20 Heritage trucks ordered for 2016 production by Hinz Trucking, who said they will be used as reward trucks for its owner-operators through the company’s lease-purchase program.

“The Model 567 Heritage is a great fit for Hinz Trucking’s image as a premium carrier,” said Hinz Trucking Chief Operating Officer Rod Hinz, who drove the truck off the line. “We take pride in our fleet and the Heritage will be a prized truck for our owner-operators, as well as giving us a strong edge in recruiting and retaining the best drivers.”

Hinz Trucking, headquartered in Elm Creek, Neb., and founded in 1985, operates a 110-truck fleet specializing in flatbed hauls throughout the 48 contiguous states and Canada.

“We are pleased the first Heritage is going to a customer that values quality, image and exceptional customer service as strongly as Peterbilt,” said Robert Woodall, Peterbilt’s assistant general manager of sales and marketing. “The Model 567 Heritage was designed for premium fleets and owner-operators who embrace distinctive styling and operating trucks that look like no other on the road.”

The Heritage presented to Hinz Trucking is equipped with a PACCAR MX-13 engine and 80-in. sleeper.
