"The Best of the Best" 🧰 ⚙️ Last week, our Service Training Academy hosted the Top Tech Skills Competition, an event that celebrates the best dealer technicians from across the United States. Every two years, these top techs face off in rigorous hands-on challenges focused on real-world repairs and best practices.

Each technician demonstrated their diagnostic abilities and repair expertise in a series of 30-minute challenges designed to highlight precision and problem solving. 🔧 We are proud to highlight the dedication and skill of the men and women who keep our industry running strong. Special congratulations to our 2025 winners: 🥇 Brandon Sims - Lonestar Truck Group 🥈 Kyle Tierney - Velocity Truck Centers 🥉 Miguel Carmona - Bakersfield Truck Center Thank you to everyone who participated, and congratulations to the best of the best. 🏆 #WeAreDaimlerTruck

Need a lift? 💪 Earlier this year, our Western Star 49X made history by hauling the colossal Philippine Mars Flying Boat, weighing 76,000 pounds, to the Pima Air & Space Museum without breaking a sweat. The 150-mile journey was completed at night to ensure safety for the nearly 80-year-old aircraft and the communities along the route. This accomplishment adds to Western Star’s ongoing legacy, following the Hawaii Mars relocation in 2024 and highlighting how our trucks help make history memorable. #WesternStar #NeverBackDown #WeAreDaimlerTruck Western Star Trucks
