Yes, the Viair450P will work pretty well on truck size tires. Rated at 150PSI and 1.8CFM.
VIAIR Corporation - 450P-Automatic Compressor (P/N 45043)

It is very popular with the off-road crowd running oversized tires like 44" tall monsters.

BUT...it is pricey because it is a constant-duty unit using 12VDC.

So...I use an inexpensive and very reliable home unit because our RV has a wonderful generator and robust inverter that is built-in...like this 150PSI and 2.0CFM for less than half the price of a Viair:

When I read all the Viair450P fans raving about these airpumps, I wonder why considering price, reliability and availability.

YMMV.

Best luck

Don't forget your Freightliner already has air you can tap into. My Volvo gets up to around 135psi and will build air faster than any 12v compressor I've ever seen.
