[quote name='Iggyz' post='124415' date='Jul 1 2007, 09:47 ']the other day while driving northbound on highway 151 outside of madison wisconsin there was a convoy of brand new Pierce LAFD pumper trucks heading south. unsure if they were heading for a train depot to get shipped out or if they were driving the whole way.
in the past i have seen lafd pumpers on the back of faltbeds too. i live about 2 hrs south of the Pierce plant. unfortunately in the past we have stopped there and you cannot tour the plant unless you have a truck in production whereas the Seagrave plant in wisconsin will give tours and rides in new apparatus they have on site.[/quote]
Some members of my department toured the Pierce plant a while back and we didn't have a rig being built at the time. I was always told that they offered plant tours. Maybe they have changed their policy for various reasons.
