Imagine that everyone was using Peterbilt floaters and a
company starts promoting a ground up unit, costing more money,
fewer parts/service options, bringing less $ at trade/resale
and costs more to operate? They wouldn’t sell! 30 yrs
ago they became popular when the truck based mfg’s were
using lighter components and inferior cabs. Today’s
Pete’s are superior to ground up units. Many of the
largest, most profitable dealers nationwide are running Stahly
Peterbilts and adding more. |
