Western Star is a manufacturer of large commercial trucks.
The company was formed after the collapse of White Trucks, when it was purchased by the Australian businessman Terry Peadbody. Under his leadership the company financial status was improved and the Canadian portions of the business was sold. The company is a division of Freightliner and sister to Sterling Trucks within DaimlerChrysler.
Peadbody still owns operations in Australia, which are based in Wacol, Queensland.
