Peterbilt celebrated the production of the 750,000th truck assembled at its Denton, Texas manufacturing facility. The facility has been building trucks since it opened in 1980.
Peterbilt presented TMC Transportation, Inc. with the keys to the Model 579 at the Denton plant on Nov. 14. TMC, based in Des Moines, Iowa, is a privately held flatbed carrier that runs a 100% Peterbilt fleet.Â
“Peterbilt and our world-class employees are proud to present TMC with the 750,000th truck built at our Denton factory. We recognize the importance of providing products tailored to meet our customer’s unique specifications with the highest levels of quality and craftsmanship, and delivering this Model 579 to TMC for their all-Peterbilt fleet is a special recognition of our multi-decade partnership,” said Jason Skoog, Peterbilt general manager and PACCAR vice president.
