History
Five Star International Trucks, Inc. was formed by Peter F. Scheler in 1974 in Erie, PA, where the company quickly became the premier transportation solutions provider in Northwestern Pennsylvania. After numerous expansions and improvements, Five Star received one of the highest honors given to International truck dealers, the Circle of Excellence award. This became a string of consecutive awards offered by Navistar. In September of 1997, Five Star International, LLC was formed as a Limited Liability Company owned by Peter F. Scheler and his sons Frederick P. Scheler and John A. Scheler. This LLC would embrace the opportunity to purchase assets of the former International dealer in Harrisburg, PA.
The formation of Five Star International, LLC led to a multitude of acquisitions and dealer enhancements. By July of 2006, Five Star would cover the majority of Pennsylvania with seven locations: Erie, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Lehigh Valley, Reading, Williamsport, and York. Five Star would partner with numerous affiliates, including Idealease, Isuzu, Workhorse, and Continental Mixer; parts would grow to become the largest International Parts Department in the Northeast; and Five Star would strive to be the most customer-focused, innovative commercial truck dealership in North America.
