T.A. Peterman had a profound passion for trucks. Frustrated by the lack of vehicles that met his standards, he decided to create his own.In 1939, Peterman acquired the Fageol Truck and Coach Factory, a facility that allowed him to customize old trucks to his liking. With a clear vision of excellence, he built trucks renowned for their exceptional quality.
The superior design quickly earned him a strong reputation. He branded these trucks as Peterbilt, a name inspired by a line of wooden doors his companies had once manufactured.
During World War II, Peterman chose to focus on producing heavy-duty trucks for government contracts rather than combat vehicles. Sadly, T.A. Peterman passed away from cancer post-war, leaving his business in the hands of his widow, Ida.
In a turn of events in 1946, five key employees, along with outside investors, purchased Peterbilt Motors from Ida for $450,000. L.A. Lundstrum became President, steering the company toward continued growth. By 1947, their revenue had surpassed $4.5 million, with trucks rolling off the line daily.
In 1958, Pacific Car and Foundry Company (now PACCAR) acquired Peterbilt Motors as an unincorporated division.
Today, T.A. Peterman's dream continues to flourish. Peterbilt progresses, embracing new challenges while maintaining the founding vision: producing innovative heavy-duty trucks that exceed customer needs and expectations.
