Four Star Freightliner has acquired the assets and ongoing business of Western Star of Dothan. The dealership has served the Wiregrass region for decades and operated as both a Detroit Diesel and Cummins engine dealer, adding depth to Four Star’s service capabilities.

With this acquisition, Four Star expands its Western Star truck sales footprint to six of its eight locations. The company now offers Western Star trucks at a majority of its dealerships while continuing to provide full service and repair for Western Star vehicles at all eight locations across Alabama, Georgia and Florida.

Western Star, a brand of Daimler Truck North America, is known for producing heavy-duty Class 8 commercial trucks built for demanding vocational and on-highway applications. Its lineup includes trucks designed for industries such as logging, mining, and construction, including the latest X-Series models.

As part of the transition, Four Star Freightliner will welcome employees from Western Star of Dothan to its Dothan location at 1507 Reeves Street.

“We’re excited to bring on the team from Western Star of Dothan,” said Jerry Kocan, Dealer Principal of Four Star Freightliner. “They come from a family-owned and operated business, which aligns closely with our values. At Four Star, we take pride in being a family-oriented company. These are good people, and we are committed to making this transition seamless. They are becoming part of our family.”

The acquisition strengthens Four Star Freightliner’s presence in the Southeast and reinforces its commitment to supporting customers with dependable truck sales and service.
