Sterling Trucks Municipal History

It all started in 1998, when the first Sterling vehicles entered the fleets of some of North America's best municipalities. Many of the largest U.S. states started choosing Sterling for its excellent value, numerous available options, and superb dealer support. Word quickly spread across the border, and many Canadian provinces started reaping the benefits of the heavy-duty L-Line and medium-duty Acterra.

As these states and provinces realized the many benefits of the Sterling product, local municipalities quickly followed suit. The relationship between Sterling and its municipal customers has flourished even further in recent years with the addition of more dealerships, new products, and improved components.

Excellent Value

Why does Sterling represent such an outstanding value to our municipal customers? The Sterling heritage is based on providing unique solutions to rigorous applications like those that our nation's municipalities encounter every day. This means that Sterling isn't a delivery truck pretending to be a dump truck. It's not a pickup truck playing the role of heavy-duty snow plow.

This durable foundation means Sterling often doesn't require frame rail reinforcements when our competitors can't meet your payload needs without them. And it means we usually won't require a longer BBC just to fit that higher horsepower engine you're looking for. Getting what you want and not paying extra - that's the Sterling definition of excellent value.

More Options

Sterling offers more options than any other company in the industry. More engines, more transmissions, even more seating choices. What does this mean for your municipal fleet? It means your fleet gets a truck that's perfect in every way imaginable. And it means that Sterling doesn't sacrifice your truck's quality for our bottom line.

Of course sometimes you've got unique requests that can't be satisfied with "typical" components. That's why it's great to have access to the most extensive Customer Application Engineering group in the industry. Sterling engineers eat, sleep, and breathe trucks. And it's their job to make sure Sterling finds the right solution for your municipal fleet.
