Daimler Trucks to add 1,100 jobs at North Carolina plant
- January 17, 2012
- News Release
- Shop Management
Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) has added a second shift at its Freightliner Trucks manufacturing plant in Cleveland, N.C. It expects to create more than 1,100 new jobs by the end of 2012, a 72 percent increase in personnel at the plant. Most positions will be filled with recalled workers who were laid off in 2009.
The ramp-up will nearly double the plant’s daily production rates by October 2012. The increase in production capacity and hiring comes in response to demand growth that has created backorders as long as six months for the Freightliner Cascadia® model.
The largest Freightliner Trucks manufacturing plant in the U.S., this facility exclusively produces Class 8 on-highway truck models, including the Cascadia, Columbia®, and Argosy® product lines.
In conjunction with the ramp-up at the Cleveland plant, the company also will hire 100 employees at its nearby components and logistics plant in Gastonia, N.C. The 90 new hourly employees in the factory and 10 salaried and hourly office employees primarily will staff a second and third shift.
