They own Freightliner, Volvo and Mack.
Peterbuilt / Kenworth are Paccar, Navistar is Internatuonal Ford 750 is a MDT they Ford sold their HDT business to Chrysler who turned it into Stirling.

Since 1999, the medium-duty F-Series has been included within the Ford Super Duty range, consisting of the Class 6-7 Ford F-650 and F-750; Class 8 versions of the F-750 have been produced since 2011.
F750 is a heavy duty class 7-8 truck with a GVWR over 33k.
