Where an unwavering passion for Western
Star trucks goes beyond the badge.
It's a way of life.
Being lucky enough to go to the plant, meet the designers, engineers, validation crew, and all the other steps to creating a truck, you realize the people behind the scenes ARE the Western Star brand, and the trucks are the product of the passion for what they do.
When I see someone driving a Western Star Truck, I know they love what they do.
It’s all about continuing to look forward and never looking back, to just keep chasing your goals. That’s what ‘Never Back Down’ and Star Nation mean to me.
The Star Nation crowd is something else. You’re entering a group that genuinely loves this industry and doesn’t hold back in showing it.
When you have a beast that you get in, and it feels like you’re at home, boy, that’s a great world to be in.
With Western Star, there’s this fire I see. It’s a brand that never stops working hard to prove itself.
