I dont think KME is going to build trucks wasting tons of money and future sales if they cant deliver the product promised. They would have a used car lot filled with rejected trucks; depts sign contracts for a reason.

 

The issue that I've seen is the KME's quality control is all over the place.  Some rigs come near-perfect, and then there are situations as described in iaff5045's post above.

 

Another example:  A department that I'm familiar with went to do a final inspection and found that the rig was painted two different shades of the same color (the cab was one shade, the body another).  KME balked at repainting the cab, citing all of the equipment that would have to be removed, prep work, etc.  The department stood their ground and later got the tanker delivered correctly.
