The Smart Source app helps drivers stay connected with Freightliner for up-to-date product news, training videos, and support information. The new features expand on the app’s versatility and help drivers quickly find the information they need to efficiently operate their Freightliner truck, according to the manufacturer.

Links to online driver and maintenance manuals by model.
Quick access to the Freightliner Roadside Assistance Program.
Optional push notifications so users can be instantly alerted when new training videos, news, or additional product information is added.
