American LaFrance Closing

[drfeelgood]

The question is, how many departments are without a truck now, and out money in the process? I was told a month or so ago, a department in our neighboring county to the West of us had paid half down on a new engine, which would have made their second ALF... now what? They won't get that money back, that's XXXX dollars they just gave away in essence. I think that I read there were 6 trucks on the line when they closed, but it didn't specify what they were. It appears in that picture someone was getting matching engines, or they were making 2 matching demos.

 

Trav!

That's why you have a "performance bond" requirement in your specs and contract.
