German automakers are going on a U.S. hiring binge this year.

Daimler Trucks North America, the U.S. truck division of Mercedes-Benz, said it will hire 1,100 workers this year as it adds a second shift and ramps up production at its Freightliner truck factory in Cleveland, N.C.

Daimler said most of its positions will be filled with recalled workers who were laid off in 2009.
