You need to research your comments more thoroughly. CF started the company "FREIGHTLINER" - a TRACTOR-producing manufacturer.

I know there was a company named White-Freightliner for a time. I think that it was always more "White" than "Freightliner", but I suppose they must have teamed up on it. Not sure if that's the same company.

I don't think any tractor was ever produced by CF. It is more logical that they would have built trailers.

I know CF history; I got a lesson in it from my management after I'd been with the company for a year, since their history is ours. We are a CF spin-off.

I don't think ...

Don't brag.

History
The history of the Freightliner brand begins in 1929. That was the year that Leland James, a young trucker from Portland, Oregon, opened his own freight hauling company. It didn't take long for James and his Consolidated Freight Lines to prosper. James worked hard and was always on the lookout for new ways to boost business and increase profits. Trouble was, truck manufacturers of the day didn't share his enthusiasm for innovation. When James asked for lighter trucks that could carry more payload and stay within the 60-foot length in many western states, his suppliers ignored him.
So James adapted and began customizing stock trucks to fit his requirements.
