“He said, 200. I said, 200 a year? Said, no. 200 a day. We build 200 trucks.”
MISLEADING
What the record shows
Peterbilt's Denton facility produces 150-160 trucks daily according to recent industry sources; Trump was told 200 per day during October 2026 visit, but this exceeds documented capacity figures from earlier 2026.
The 200 figure appears to exceed documented daily production capacity of 150-160 trucks. May represent peak capacity or aspirational target rather than typical daily output.
