My reply had nothing to do with administration. It has to do with the tax payer that all administrations work for. I do not live in Boston but if my department wanted to buy all new trucks to replace less than 5 year old trucks because of bad motors I would not approve. To sell a $800,000.00 ladder 5 years old or less for $400,000.00 because you don't want to put in a $50,000.00 motor is not good money sense. I get you like how it was and want to get back to that with all purchases from this point forward, but to do a dis service to the tax payers is not warranted.
Also I get Boston likes E\-One but im still confused as to why the KME and others dont work if you have posted it i missed it but when they say they dont work for us id like to know how.
What does Boston hope to get with the class action law suite. If they win Navistar may just have to replace all the motors. But I dont think they will have to pay Boston the purchase price of the trucks. After all Boston had a choice in motors and they choose poorly.
Im glad that Boston has an administration that wants to work with the guys and get them what they need and want. If a KME breaks and it makes headline news its KME problem but also thats why you dont always buy low bidder. If you want low price thats what you get Id rather pay a little more and get a quality truck. My department was an all Pierce fleet and i bet it will be a cold day in hell before we ever get another Pierce. When a manufacture builds junk and wont stand behind the product we went esle where with our $$.
