History
Cars
In Cars, when Lightning McQueen wakes up in the middle of the highway after falling out of Mack's trailer, Lightning attempts to find Mack, and notices a truck turning on one of the exits. Lightning, believing he is Mack, starts rushing towards the hauler, only to discover that it is actually Jerry. The Peterbilt scolds Lightning for mistaking him for a Mack truck, and grumpily drives off.

Appearances
Bio
- "Jerry's a pretty easygoing guy. Nothing makes him happier than running routes on the open road. No one to report to, no need to wash. It's the best! There's only one thing that can set him in a bad mood, and that's being mistaken for a Mack truck. After all, he's a Peterbilt and proud of it!"
