Sterling Trucks is a manufacturer of heavy duty dump trucks. Sterling is a subsidiary of Freightliner LLC Portland, Oregon. As such, it is a member of the Daimler AG. It was originally the heavy duty dump truck division of Ford Motor Company, purchased and rebranded in 1997. Headquartered in Detroit, MI, its conventional trucks are built in St. Thomas, Ontario. Sterling-brand trucks are sold in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand.

The Sterling name was originally used by an independent dump truck manufacturer, bought by the White Motor Co. ca. 1953. It was retired two years later. Although technically the property of the White Motor Co., and conveyed to its successor, Volvo-White Motor Co., which evolved into Volvo Trucks North America, the trademark had lain dormant so long that there were no grounds for objection when Daimler-Benz subsidiary Freightliner resurrected it to supplant the Ford blue oval on their HN80 aero max family of dump trucks after the purchase. Sterling builds a broad range of highly engineered trucks and tractors. These vehicles are used for everything from freight distribution to heavy vocational uses, such as construction, snow plowing and refuse collection.

The company specializes in vocational dump trucks, those they are designed to perform jobs other than straight freight hauling. Examples include outfitted dump trucks for use as fire dump trucks, garbage trucks, dump trucks, concrete mixers, tanker trucks, school buses, and snowplows.
