For many professional drivers, Peterbilt has long stood for endurance, comfort, and pride behind the wheel. This week, the company reached a milestone that speaks directly to that legacy: the delivery of its 100000th Model 567, handed over to WM Waste Management at Peterbilt’s Denton, Texas, manufacturing plant.
“Reaching the 100000th Model 567 milestone is a major achievement, and we’re proud to recognize WM as the recipient of this special truck,” said Jake Montero, Peterbilt general manager and PACCAR vice president. “WMs’ trust in Peterbilt highlights our ability to deliver tailored solutions that meet the unique business needs of our customers.”
For those in trucking, the Model 567 has become a familiar sight, especially in heavy-duty and refuse operations where durability, uptime, and operator comfort are everything. WM has relied on Peterbilt trucks for years to keep its fleet moving, trusting in their performance and reliability day after day.
According to Peterbilt, “The Model 567 is a versatile vehicle designed for robust heavy and severe duty configurations. It offers maximum durability, fuel efficiency, and uptime for all applications, including refuse.”
That kind of versatility is why so many fleets and drivers value this model. Whether it’s hauling waste through tight city routes or tackling rough construction terrain, the 567 has built its name on consistency and strength.
Todd Poste, vice president of supply chain and chief procurement officer at WM, underscored the relationship between the companies. “We’re honored to accept the 100000th Peterbilt Model 567. Our partnership with Peterbilt and Rush Refuse Systems has been instrumental in helping us deliver on our mission of environmental responsibility and operational excellence. We look forward to continuing this relationship as we drive toward a more sustainable future.”
Rush Refuse Systems, which has worked closely with both WM and Peterbilt, also marked the event as a milestone for the industry. “Delivering the 100000th Peterbilt Model 567 is a tremendous milestone, and we are honored to share it with WM, one of our most valued and long-term customers,” said Rusty Rush, chairman, CEO, and president of Rush Enterprises. “As the market share leaders in the Refuse industry, Peterbilt and Rush Enterprises are proud of our partnership that drives innovation and provides total solutions for customers like WM who lead the way in the industry.”
For truck drivers, these milestones are more than corporate announcements; they represent the craftsmanship and reliability that keep fleets on the road and drivers on schedule. Every mile logged in a Model 567 stands as proof of how a truck built for performance and comfort supports the people doing the real work.
As Peterbilt’s Montero added, “The 100000th Model 567 delivery reflects manufacturing excellence and a legacy of class and outstanding performance Peterbilt is known for.”
The company recently reached another milestone by producing its first Model 567 in Canada for Environmental 360 Solutions, further evidence that this model continues to expand its reach in industries that rely on toughness and precision every single day.
