Freightliner®, LLC is the leading North American truck and specialty vehicle manufacturer. Freightliner®, LLC is a business unit and a major part of the world's largest, most influential commercial vehicle manufacturer -- Daimler Trucks. As the world leader, Daimler sets the standard in technological innovation, product integrity, and quality. Longtime colleagues and friends Lindy Bigliazzi and Kenneth Wilson worked together in the freight equipment business for nearly two decades; in 1996 they became the owners of Freightliner of Hartford, now the largest Freightliner® dealer in New England. The company's explosive growth was fueled by their unwavering pledge to satisfy even the most difficult of customers.
By 1998 Freightliner of Hartford was stretching the limits of its offices and service bays. As a result, more than 8,000 square feet of space was added to the main building. One year later, they purchased an existing 6,000-square-foot building with six service bays on a nearby acre parcel of land. In the year 2000, Freightliner of Hartford's 18,000 square-foot sales showroom was built, with office space for Freightliner of Hartford staff. We now have over 60,000 square feet of facilities on over 10 acres, including 21 service bays and a customer-friendly showroom to display the latest Freightliner® vehicles. Freightliner of Hartford, Inc. tripled its sales and increased its employee roster from 18 to 90, with a vast majority faithfully committed to the company since its inception.
