Quote:Sounds like if you buy it, they (Pierce dealer) will come.
I think a lot of that varies from dealer to dealer. Here in Georgia, the former Pierce dealer was located in Birmingham, AL. They never put much into having a service center here, and they never sold many rigs here either. Having a service center nearby is important to FD's, regardless of who makes the rig. Since Ten-8 took over the area, they have established a decent service center in Forsyth, GA and are in the process of locating a larger facility. They are also selling rigs left and right:
Warner Robins (2)
Macon-Bibb (2)
Sandy Springs (6)
Douglas Co. (2)
Milton (4)
Fairburn (2)
Forsyth Co. (3)
(Those are just off the top of my head)
