Sterling Trucks Corporation was an American truck manufacturer. See Sterling (Rover) for the brand name used by Rover in the North America.

The original company was founded in 1906 by William Sternberg as the Sternberg Motor Truck Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company was bought by White Motor Corporation in 1951. About two years later, the Sterling nameplate was retired.
As the Sterling trademark had become dormant for so long, when Freightliner (whose own trucks were distributed by White Motor Corporation from the 1950s to 1975) sought to use the name in 1997, there were no grounds for objection from Volvo, new owner of White.
The Sterling name was applied by Freightliner to Class 8 tractors, as well as a range of medium- and heavy-duty cab/chassis vehicles as a continuation of the Ford L-Series after Freightliner's purchase of Ford's heavy truck product lines and the Louisville production facility.
It was also applied to rebadged Mitsubishi Fuso Canter and Dodge Ram.
On October 14, 2008, Daimler Trucks North America announced a plan to discontinue the Sterling product line in an effort to consolidate its North American truck manufacturing operations under the Freightliner and Western Star brands.
