Re: FAJ MAY-JUNE 08 ISSUE

Jeff, well said. You get what you pay for. USAF always went low bid, and sometimes they got junk. The Oshkosh's were the exception. The folks in WI always seemed to make quality vehicles.

Rosenbauer bid $35,000 less than Pierce, not undebid them. An "underbid" is if the cost is the same and the company takes a loss to sell the product.

Pierce has no trouble selling trucks, It's the Maintance that gets them in trouble, and i've heard about that from coast to coast.

Re: FAJ MAY-JUNE 08 ISSUE

We had a Pierce Dash as our first custom rig, and liked it a lot. Then bought two Sabres, had a lot of trouble getting Pierce to addess warranty issues. We now have two Central States quints, three CS engines, one more CS engine on order. Guess everyone has different experiences with apparatus manufacturers!
