If you're a professional in the trucking industry, you might want head out to Valley Freightliner, Sterling, & Western Star Trucks of Cleveland. Today from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the company is hosting an Open House and Customer Appreciation Day. The event will feature food, refreshments and door prizes, but perhaps even more importantly, two new trucks will be on hand: Freightliner's Cascadia, and the Sterling Bullet. "The new Cascadia is simply an amazing truck," says Annemarie Popik, spokesperson for the company. "It's the most aerodynamic truck on the market, and it's very friendly to mechanics, so there is very little downtime." Ideally suited for construction, utility, municipality and government applications, the Sterling Bullet is the other truck, which will be on hand. It's a class 4/5 that's available as a regular cab or a quad cab (four doors). The Sterling Bullet powered by the Cummins 6.7 liter Turbo Diesel engine, producing 305 hp and 610 lbs.-ft of torque. The 6.7 is the next generation of Cummins-designed cooled EGR engines. It operates on Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel as well as B5 Biodiesel. In addition to food, refreshments and door prizes throughout the day there will also be factory representatives from Detroit Diesel, CAT, Cummins, Eaton, Arvin Meritor, Donaldson, Pana Pacific, Alliance, Alcoa, GCADA, Carnegie Body, Supreme Body, Cross Truck Equipment, and Kidron Body will be on hand with product displays. "Later that evening we are also hosting the Fleet Maintenance Council," says Popik, "so it should be an entertaining day." The event is targeted toward professionals in the truck industry, from drivers through upper management. Test drives will be available for CDL holders. Valley Freightliner, Sterling, & Western Star Trucks of Cleveland is located at the corner of Brookpark Road and W. 150th Street, just off the W. 150th Street exit of I-480. The company first opened its doors in November 1999. In an effort to establish a separate brand location for the former Ford heavy truck product, which had been sold to Freightliner Corporation in 1998, owner John Drakesmith opened the Brook Park location as a Sterling stand-alone heavy truck franchise. In 2001, Freightliner L.L.C. purchased Western Star Corporation, allowing Valley to acquire the Western Star Franchise. In May of 2002, Freightliner awarded Valley Sterling the AOR and franchise for Freightliner Medium and Heavy Trucks.
