Peterbilt

American truck brand

Peterbilt is an American manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks, particularly the large semi-trucks used for long-haul freight.

The brand is known for its distinctive styling and has become iconic in trucking culture: A chrome Peterbilt rolled past on the interstate.

Like Mack and Kenworth, the name often stands in for big rigs generally.
