Daimler to Drop Sterling Brand, Eliminate 3,500 Jobs

Light & Medium Truck | Daimler to Drop Sterling Brand, Eliminate 3,500 Jobs: "In a sweeping move, Daimler AG announced today that it was dropping the Sterling Trucks brand, eliminating about 3,500 jobs and closing two of its factories as it reorganizes its North American operations."

They are keeping Western Star and Freightliner, though Freightliner is pulling out of Portland. Freightliner's Cascadia model will be built in Mexico. Ironic, isnt' it, that something named Cascadia will be built in Mexico.
