Charter Trucks carries a rotating inventory of Peterbilt 579 single axle day cabs — sourced directly from California full maintenance lease programs through Coast Counties Peterbilt. These trucks were maintained on a factory-managed schedule their entire service life. When they come off lease, we put every one through our 102-point PM inspection and third-party certification before it goes on the lot.

If you’re looking for a capable, fuel-efficient day cab with a documented history at a price that makes sense, the 579 is one of the best values in the used commercial truck market.

Why the Peterbilt 579

Full maintenance lease returns are one of the best-kept secrets in the used truck market. Every 579 in Charter’s inventory came out of a dealer-managed lease program — meaning oil changes, PM intervals, and repairs were handled on schedule, documented, and verifiable. You’re not buying a truck with a mystery history. You’re buying a truck with paperwork.

On top of that, Charter layers its own 102-point inspection and third-party certification before any unit reaches the lot. By the time a truck goes on sale, it’s been through more checkpoints than almost anything you’d find at auction.

California Lease Returns — Why It Matters

The 579 is Peterbilt’s aerodynamic day cab — built for highway efficiency without sacrificing durability. The MX-11 small block engine delivers strong performance in a lighter package, which means more legal payload capacity and lower operating costs over time. Pair that with an automated 12-speed transmission and you’ve got a truck that’s easy on drivers and easy on fuel across long-haul and regional routes alike.

PTO capability makes these units flexible beyond standard tractor duty. For agricultural operations, construction companies, or any business that needs a workhorse that does more than pull a trailer, the 579’s PTO-ready configuration adds real utility.

Charter Silver Certification — What’s Included

102-point PM inspection
Full ECM report pulled and reviewed
