[quote name='Ladder 68' post='258534' date='Nov 2 2008, 16:24 ']To add to that, there are actually 2 Pierce dealers for Texas and both ironically are located in Houston, Martin Apparatus and Siddons Apparatus. Martin has the east half including the Houston area up thru the Dallas area and Siddons has everything in the west half including Austin and San Antonio.



But your right, Pierce for the most part controls the entire state for pumper and aerials. This despite their pricing.[/quote]





Funny you mention price. 2 of our 3 custom Pierces we're cheaper than a neighboring departments commercial E\-One.

You can't be in Texas if Pierce was the cheapest of those two. Ha ha.

Few teaser shots from the factory. My part-time gig just accepted this week two Velocity PUC's. He sent me a few pics of E11 and E12.

I will get better shots when they are put inservice and a month or two.
