Peterbilt is an American maker of heavy trucks, founded in 1939 in Oakland, California, when T. A. Peterman bought the assets of the Fageol truck company. Its long-hood conventional tractors, in particular the Model 379 built from 1987 to 2007, became favourites of owner-operators in North America. Peterbilt has been a subsidiary of Paccar since 1958. Its trucks are built in Denton, Texas, and in other plants, and are sold mainly through a network of independent dealers across North America.
