There are tons of rumors and implications flying around. This will be an interesting year. Looking forward to gauging the buzz on the FDIC floor.
I do think the Freightliner/ALF situation was different. It was destined to fail and the same guy at the helm left for Seagrave and nearly killed them. It seems that REV is intent on keeping their brands separate to be able to compete in about any market. Now, the whole Spartan/Smeal/UST/LTC thing seems a bit muddier. It will be interesting to see what Ferrara ends up doing for aerials. I can't imagine Smeal continues to provide Ferrara with aerials.
