The RISE and FALL of Western Star

Video Description

From the ashes of White Motor Company, a rebel team fled to Kelowna, BC, to hand-build trucks tough enough for any punishment. This is the story of Western Star: the legendary 4900, the "artisanal" build process, and the driver-first philosophy. We trace its journey from a Canadian rebel battling the wilderness to its Australian expansion and eventual acquisition by Daimler, asking: did the legend survive its own success? ====== ⌛ Western Star Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:16 Chapter 1: The Rebel Birth 05:58 Chapter 2: Forging an Identity 10:04 Chapter 3: The Australian Gamble 13:16 Chapter 4: The Peabody Turnaround 16:48 Chapter 5: The Freightliner Acquisition 19:55 Chapter 6: The Kelowna Closure & Legacy ====== ➡️Watch Next: The ENTIRE History of Peterbilt https://youtu.be/f5Wzvyd7lPk Kenworth: The Truck That Ruled America’s Highways [https://youtu.be/E5gvxpOiwoA The RISE and FALL of White Motor Company https://youtu.be/1iuD1XSv2SA #documentary #westernstar #truck #trucking
