The new ladder 3 was just assigned to the crew at the end of last month.
Noticable changes are, a lower step added at each door of the tractor, a larger exhaust system unit, and a small compartment has been eliminated on the trailer. Also the ladder now sits on an even plane, the orange removable tip (don't know what that replaceable tip is called) on the tip of the ladder was shortened by 13 inches.
Not so noticable, the tracter wheel base has increased, the trailer has been shortened slightly and rollout trays added to some of the compartments.
The overall length of the truck has increased very slightly to 59 feet 11 inches.
