Lindsay, Just wanted to say "thank you" for all of the views you provide of the apparatus you shoot. Thanks again. -DaveYoung

Dave:
Thank you for the kind comments.
I learned to do a walk around many years ago in training for my real job (insurance adjuster). I try to do this whenever the apparatus is staged where a walk around is possible.

Has Plano returned to dry Trucks with Truck 8? Great Photos Lindsay. I have never been a big fan of Plano's ladder signs.
Stay Safe,
Rick

Rick:
I am unsure if Station 8 runs a truck company. To my knowledge, their "trucks" are still quints.
As far as the ladder signs on Plano's rigs, they are bright to say the least.

Having lived in TX for 5 years during the mid-'90's, I've followed the apparatus scene down there with interest ever since.
Is my perception correct that Plano operates with a really ambitious apparatus replacement schedule? I know it's an affluent city of over 150K with an amazing corporate tax base, but, it seems to me that they're buying new rigs faster than Code 3 can produce models of the previous new deliveries. Do they have arrangements for lucrative trade-in deals since they spec top drawer equipment? Any insight?

Plano replace's apparatus on a 10 year schedule as do most of the metroplex departments. Alot of the new equipment is for stations that have opened in the past decade. In addition, Truck 8 still run's one of the ALF/Smeal quints. They also have a Rosenbauer truck that should be delivered ASAP.
