Wow- that is about a third of Ford's yearly volume and a huge percentage over Paccar's vol. I would almost have to say that a big chunk of that number must be a fleet account that was behind the push to get the 6.7 as an RPO? Like maybe Ryder?? Penske?

Green Dash Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 It's good to see a jump in the numbers, but I hope Pitt Ohio isn't responsible for the surge in class 8 sales. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
